Kenya Beyond the Great Migration
We often find ourselves gently steering certain travellers north — not away from something, but towards something a little different. Safari, as we’ve come to know it, is not always about anticipation. Sometimes it is about space, and about allowing the experience to unfold at its own pace.
The wildlife, as you saw it
There are certain moments on safari that stay with you long after you return home. Often, they’re the ones you managed to capture — not perfectly, but honestly.
Over the years, many of you have shared your photographs with us. They’re not staged or polished. They are simply the moments that felt worth holding onto — a young giraffe stretching into a run across Laikipia, a lion stepping forward through Delta grass, a gorilla mother holding her newborn in the filtered light of Bwindi.
Made in Africa: Why a Safari Is the Most Romantic Journey of All
Planning a honeymoon in Africa? Or wondering whether a safari might be the perfect way to mark a milestone anniversary? Over the years, we’ve planned many honeymoons and anniversary journeys across East and Southern Africa, and we’ve noticed something interesting. Safari is rarely the obvious starting point. Instead, it often emerges gently in conversation — almost as a wild card. And yet, time and again, it becomes the part couples speak about for years afterwards.
Beyond the Bucket List: Deeper Journeys in Africa
Lately, we’ve been thinking not just about where we travel, but why. We’ve found ourselves having more of those rich, meandering conversations — the ones that might start with safari planning, but soon wander into deeper terrain. About life. Purpose. And the kind of travel that lingers long after you’ve unpacked your bags.
More than a safari: Why we do what we do
From our home near Kruger National Park – where cicadas buzz through the bushveld and late-afternoon storms build over the horizon – we often find ourselves pausing to reflect. Not in a numbers or business sense, but in a more human one. Thinking of the people we’ve met, the stories we’ve shared, and the quiet moments that remind us why we chose this life in the first place.
Fallen in love with Africa? Here’s where to go next
We often say that Africa stays with you. Perhaps your first journey brought you to Southern Africa — the red dunes of Namibia, the roar of Victoria Falls, or the soft hush of the Okavango Delta. But what happens when you’ve already experienced those iconic places? When you’ve already fallen in love with the bush, and now find yourself wondering, what next?
The healing power of wild places
In the quiet stillness of the Okavango Delta, Lauren turned 30. She celebrated the milestone not with a party or presents, but with an early morning guided bush walk followed later by a stunning sunset mokoro ride. The setting sun painted the water golden. It was her birthday, but also a kind of rebirth — a closing of one chapter, and the tentative, hope-filled opening of another.
For Crumb – follow your dreams
On the 1st of October 2025, scientist and global activist Dame Jane Goodall, who turned her childhood love of primates into a lifelong quest to protect the environment, died of natural causes at the age of 91.
Christmas Safari in Africa: Swap Shopping Malls for Safari Sightings
We’re often asked whether Christmas can be spent on safari. The answer is yes – and it can be one of the most rewarding times of the year. Instead of snow and shopping malls, the season here is marked by dramatic skies, fresh landscapes, and the sounds of the wild all around you.
