From the Dunes to the Delta
The moment you first glimpse the raw beauty of Africa, when your eyes drink in the magnificence and you smell the air, touch the earth, and feel the land breathing all around you, you're transported. The subtleties of life engulf you and the mesmerising effect of silence, away from a city, gives way to previously unheard natural noise . It is at this exact moment that a feeling of intoxicating proportion emerges, it is only now that you know you
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. We, at Safari Architects, have been extremely fortunate to spend many days over a long period exploring all of the splendour Londolozi has to offer. The Lloyd and Gale families were our most
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
A Safari of True Contrast
For a first time safari traveller, many thoughts, emotions and questions run through your mind. The questions will usually be unanswered or only vaguely understood. You may have some preconceived ideas of the things you might see or the type of experience you are likely to have, however, this is rarely the case. The element of the unknown is usually the best part of the journey. To a traveller armed with an open mind, any encounter will be embraced with
The Spirit Of Safari
A safari is an experience. One that requires a big investment of your time. Time to plan, to research, to figure out what the best trip will be. It requires endless hours of waiting, and longing for the moment when you step off the plane, onto African soil and begin to feel it's magic. This may all sound quite daunting, but we will guide you every step of the way. Safari Architects will get you to the places you want
25 Images Of Africa 2017
It has been an amazing start to the year so far. The first quarter is now behind us, and to showcase some of our safari highlights, we have put together our best images from Africa 2017. A compilation of experiences we have together with our guests on safari. We have travelled between the Sabi Sands, the Timbavati, Northern KZN, southern Kalahari, the Okavango Delta and the Linyanti. We are often spoilt by incredible scenes whilst on safari, and we certainly do
Londolozi and Savanna
The Safari Architects team had a recent safari in the Sabi Sands Private Game reserve, where we spent time exploring Londolozi and Savanna. Below is a brief outline of our stay: It’s quite difficult to explain a feeling or an emotion. I think as humans this is inherently difficult, but with animals, its body language, smells, sounds and actions that say it all. If you were to see my reactions and read my “animal” signs from when I arrived at Londolozi
