One Family’s Journey of a Lifetime
Family safaris that are privately guided and chartered are what we do best and, we believe, the most fulfilling of all journeys. Every time I return from a trip like this, I get feelings of deep nostalgia, overwhelming joy and even a little sadness. Nostalgia, because it reminds me of the journeys I have done with my own family and the memories we made together. Joy, because of the privileged position I am in to witness families take in the beauty

Delta Luxury Through New Eyes
No amount of research or conversation with anyone could have mentally or emotionally prepared me for my recent trip to the Okavango Delta in Botswana. This was going to be my first safari experience and to an extent I thought I knew what to expect… I was wrong. People talk of life-changing travel experiences which can so often sound cliché, however, I can truthfully say with hand over heart that I am definitely not the same person I was before
Top 25 images from the first quarter of 2018

50 Moments from 2017
2017 has been one of our most productive years at Safari Architects. We have travelled across the African continent and have provided lasting experiences for all of the guests who chose to travel with us. From the Cape to the Sabi Sands and the Timbavati.

On foot with Elephants in Zimbabwe, chasing wild dogs in the
Safari Architects – Why we do it?
Have you ever thought about travelling to Africa? Or have you been before and now thinking about your return? If either of these questions resonate with you, you may want to continue reading… We are often asked: “What do you guys actually do?” As if our stories and pictures of the bush are too good to be true, and this certainly can't be our full-time job. The idea of living out one’s passion every day and making it into a career
Africa is a feeling
There is a first time for everything. Some of these firsts are lessons, some are experiences that have the ability to change something inside of you. The way you see the simplicity of life and its beauty. Some experiences leave you in awe, without words. And some you didn’t even know you needed, but nevertheless, they affect you in a special way. To travel to Africa for the first time, has to be one of the most inspiring experiences one can
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
The Selinda Adventure Trail
In 2009, slight tectonic movements coupled with the high waters in the northern parts of Botswana brought life back to the Selinda concession. A body of water that historically joined the Okavango river, via the Selinda Spillway to the Linyanti. Now, each year, as the waters begin to rise, the spillway offers a unique opportunity for adventures to hop on their canoes and experience a wilderness as the explorers of old once did. As the dry season approaches, the Spillway begins to
