A safari is about so much more than the Big Five.

A safari is about so much more than the Big Five.

Take the impala. They are one of Africa's most common antelope, due to their incredible adaptability. They are both grazers and browsers, switching between grasses and leaves depending on the season, helping them to thrive in a wide range of habitats. Their ability to leap 10 metres in length and nearly 3 metres in height is another factor of their success, helping them to escape predators!

The more time you spend watching the smaller moments, the richer the safari experience becomes…

🌿 Property of the Month: Beagle Expeditions @beagl

🌿 Property of the Month: Beagle Expeditions @beagle_expeditionsFor those seeking a true safari adventure, Beagle Expeditions offers an authentic, off-grid experience in one of the most exclusive corners of Botswana’s Okavango Delta. Set within the private Abu Concession, this is a safari that strips away distractions and reconnects you with what matters most – complete immersion in nature, exceptional guiding and warm hospitality.✨ Stay across two intimate tented camps, moving between locations on a four-night expedition through a remote section of the Kweene River. ✨ Explore by day and night game drive, guided walking safari and seasonal mokoro excursions, with helicopter transfers adding to the sense of remoteness and exclusivity. ✨ Experience a safari with a light footprint, where comfort meets adventure and every detail is designed to bring you closer to the wilderness. 📍Located in the south-west Okavango Delta, the private 30,000-hectare Abu Concession is home to elephants, buffalo, lion, leopard, cheetah, wild dogs and exceptional birdlife. The focus here is as much on understanding the ecosystem and appreciating the smaller wonders of the bush as it is on unforgettable big game encounters. 🌤️ Best time to go: Open year-round, with peak game viewing typically from May to November. Seasonal floodwaters from late June to early September also create ideal conditions for mokoro excursions. Every guest contributes through Beagle Expeditions' Community & Conservation Levy, supporting anti-poaching initiatives, local education projects and bursaries for students in nearby communities - helping to protect both the Okavango Delta and the people who call it home. #PropertyOfTheMonth

Known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya - "The Smoke That Thunders" - Victoria Falls is one of Africa's most extraordinary natural landmarks.Straddling the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia, the falls span almost 1.7 kilometres across the Zambezi River. Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Victoria Falls is celebrated for both its remarkable scale and outstanding natural beauty.The character of the falls changes with the seasons, from the immense curtain of water and mist during the high-water months to the exposed basalt cliffs and dramatic rock formations revealed as water levels recede. A network of rainforest trails and viewpoints on both sides of the falls offer spectacular perspectives, while the ever-changing volume of water ensures that no two visits are quite the same.Whether experienced on foot, from the river above the falls, or from the air, Victoria Falls remains one of Africa's most unforgettable destinations.Victoria Falls pairs seamlessly with safaris across Southern and East Africa, providing a spectacular contrast to the safari experience and a memorable way to begin or end a journey through the region.📍 Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe#VictoriaFalls

📍The Usangu Wetlands, Ruaha National Park, Tanzani

📍The Usangu Wetlands, Ruaha National Park, Tanzania
A destination that truly rewards the effort it takes to reach it.Tucked away in the far south of Ruaha National Park, it's home to one of Tanzania's most inspiring conservation stories. Once pushed to the brink by decades of overgrazing, poaching and unsustainable farming, the wetlands are slowly recovering thanks to conservation, safari tourism and genuine partnerships with local communities.Elephants and antelope roam the plains, birdlife is thriving, and predators are beginning to return. It's still early days for wildlife here - and that's exactly what makes a visit so special. You're witnessing an ecosystem in recovery, not one that's already been polished for safari-goers.Mary shares her insights following her recent visit...
