NO. 1 FOR SAFARI IN THE SUNDAY TIMES TRAVEL MAGAZINE

“Why it’s top: The firm’s knowledge – of hundreds of camps in 12 countries – is extraordinary, gained through thousands of hours spent exploring the continent. Ask directors Michele and Rob where to see wild dogs, for example, and not only will they tell you the prime spots, but they’ll name the very best guides for the species”.

Earth Day: Conserving and Reclaiming our World of Wonder Today we join the world in celebrating Earth Day - a timely and poignant reminder of the fragility of our planet, the importance of protecting Africa’s critical and magnificent biodiversity and the incredible conservation efforts taking place in the areas our clients travel to.
Africa is one of the few destinations in the world where travellers can leave a wonderfully positive footprint, and in our latest blog we shine a light on just a handful of the world-leading sustainable tourism and community-led conservation initiatives that are happening in safari Africa.

Northern Namibia 🇳🇦 is home to a wonderful v

Northern Namibia 🇳🇦 is home to a wonderful variety of landscapes and wildlife. We explored Damaraland and Kaokoland, venturing into the Huab, Hoarasib and Hoanib River valleys in search of desert elephants 🐘. A visit to a local Himba village in the remote area of Puros was another real highlight. Etosha was next with its austere but beautiful salt pans and abundance of plains game. The addition of more traditional wildlife viewing compliments the desert landscapes further south!

I have spent a wonderful few days exploring the Namib Desert in Namibia. From the NamibRand in the south to the Namib Naukluft further north, including the renowned Sossusvlei and Deadvlei. The landscape is breathtaking and very different to other corners of traditional ‘safari’ Africa. Activities are varied and fun, with horse riding and nature drives, to spotting ostrich and sensational sunsets! Thank you to @wolwedanscollection and @hoodia_desert_lodge for their hospitality and superb guiding! #namibia #namib #namibdesert #desert #travel #africa #safari #safariconsultants #wildlife #wildlifephotography #travelphotography #namibiatravel #wolwedans #hoodia #horse #horseriding #ridingsafari #roadtrip #driving #adventure

I have just returned home from the most amazing ei

I have just returned home from the most amazing eight nights on safari in Tanzania’s Southern Serengeti – what an incredible place. The huge herds of the migration had already started to move by the time I arrived. However, there were still some big groups of ‘late departures’ in the area, and lots of baby wildebeest gallivanting around the plains. My general game viewing was good too, with some nice lion and cheetah encounters, and an incredible amount of giraffe….they were literally everywhere! As well as game driving, I shared a superb morning walking with the Hadzabe, learning how they live in such a wild environment. Then spent the afternoon with the Datoga tribe where I was treated to some fantastic traditional dancing.

I have just returned from a fabulous ten days expl

I have just returned from a fabulous ten days exploring the central Laikipia Plateau and northern Samburulands of Kenya. Kenya always delivers with amazing wildlife and this trip was no different but what really struck me was the amazing cultural enrichment and epic landscapes that a stay in these areas can provide. The Samburu, known as the ‘butterfly people’ due to their brightly coloured attire are wonderfully engaging, funny and welcoming, something that they are very proud about.
A highlight of my stay was definitely visiting the Reteti Elephant Sanctuary which is entirely owned and run by the Samburu community, providing vital employment to the local people and of course a future to the orphaned elephants. I was also lucky enough to be invited to a local village where a warriors blessing was taking place, the first one in about ten years. There was a real air of excitement in the village as the young warriors sang and danced, gaggles of young girls gathered together giggling, and mamas tried to corral overexcited small children who were desperate to have their photos taken.

I have just spent an incredible few days visiting

I have just spent an incredible few days visiting the Chyulu Hills in southern Kenya. The scenery here is breathtaking with dramatic rolling hills to vast open plains with views of the iconic Mt Kilimanjaro in the distance (when the clouds allowed!). I explored the area by vehicle, mountain bike and an epic helicopter flight over the Chyulu’s enjoying spectacular views of the ancient volcanic craters and crossing over the plains to land on a rocky outcrop to soak up the scenery and enjoy a coffee. Aside from the spectacular landscape and exclusivity, another highlight of the area is the opportunity to see ‘Big Tuskers’ for which I had the privilege of spending time with one whilst he kindly shared the waterhole with a tortoise (can you spot it!)
