A Family Adventure Through Africa
I strongly believe that there are few destinations in the world that can rival Africa. By immersing yourself in the world's natural playground, there is always something for everyone to look forward to! When just a few highlights of our next Safari Architects trip included dancing on the banks of the delta at a drinks stop, watching a cheetah with cubs hunt an impala, helicopter flips over the waterways, peacefully exploring the delta by boat, archery competitions alongside elephants and seeing
East Africa: The Whole Picture
East Africa is often associated with a well known motion picture: "Out of Africa". This film displays rolling vistas of grasslands and mountains, dotted with a myriad of mammal species, endless plains and a sense of complete wilderness. In real life, this is truly not far from the truth! There are still vast stretches of land that are protected within National Parks such as the Masai Mara and The Serengeti. Besides these areas, there are countless more habitats and reserves
A Safari of Surprises
There is an overused phrase, conjured up in the bush many years ago, which is often the answer to multiple questions from first time safari travellers. The phrase: "There are no two game drives alike. Everything is different, every time!" Even though this statement may be utilised extensively, for me, it always holds true. One cannot say "How could this get any better?", because each venture out into the wilderness brings new experiences, each incredible on their own, without comparison. The
Londolozi & Royal Malewane – A Tale of Two Camps
The coming together of different families and generations, on any occasion, is something to be celebrated. In our busy lives it is hard to find the time to see the people that matter most. Therefore, when we get the chance to do this in a special place other than our home towns or cities, it can be a life changing experience! And when Ronda and Kelly reached out to us to arrange a family safari, we knew this would be
Birthday Bliss in Botswana
The time it takes our unique and life-sustaining planet to circumnavigate the sun is known as a year. Therefore, when we turn one year older, we have been on a celestial journey that spans 365 days.

A photographic journal of Mana Pools
The magic of Mana Pools is something that has been documented on many occasions. By the seasoned traveller, the professional photographer, a bush loving family and the intrepid explorer. Each time I read about this place, I am able to relive my memories of Mana. It is easy to reminisce of the colours of the forest, the blue haze that is now known so well. Each image I see from Mana Pools takes me right back into the moments where I
