A Lion Dynasty of the Sabi Sand
Lions are African icons. They represent all that is powerful and raw, yet unmistakably majestic. I think this is why we have such a fascination with them. They have the ability to change whole ecosystems and are, in fact, pivotal in natural areas where they occur. In certain reserves which we frequent, we are often able to have a clear understanding of how and why they emit certain behaviours, as we follow prides and male coalitions closely. After watching the
The Luster & Luxury of Londolozi
Londolozi Private Game Reserve is unrivalled in terms of it's cultural heritage, luxurious atmosphere and incredible saturation of wildlife. It is arguably the best place for viewing game in the whole of the Sabi Sand Game Reserve, hence why so many of our guests wish to experience it.

The Leopard and the Genet
"When was the last time you saw a Leopard?" When trying to start this story, I battled for an opening line. One that would entice you the reader, to read more.

In between privately guiding and hosting multi country safaris, Chris found the time to lead and host a walking safari at Tanda Tula's field camp. He says: "Walking safaris and being completely isolated in the African bush, really brings you to the core of what true wilderness can offer. The lack of external stimuli that we are so used to, forces the senses into picking up the real sounds, smells and nuances of nature. The natural light of fires and lanterns cast
Timbavati trailing
The Timbavati private game reserve forms part of the greater Kruger National Park. It falls within the area known as the Lowveld, which is synomonous with excellent game viewing, beautiful vistas and magnificent safari lodges. Chris spent some time there and explored new areas for Safari Architects. Tanda Tula safari lodge was his home for a week and the safari experience was amazing.

Singita South Africa
In each room at Singita Ebony Sabi Sands, a painting set is placed. When I enquired as to why these were there, Madeleine’s response was a simple “Incase you feel inspired.” Inspired does not begin to express what you feel from the moment you enter the world of Singita’s properties. It feels as though the word does little justice to the transformation that your soul feels during the course of your stay. The Safari Architects’ Team were very privileged to have
