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

In Northern Botswana mother earth's crust twisted, shifted and subsided, and the rivers that flowed over this area were diverted and channeled in a
