One of the things we love most about small group safaris is watching complete strangers become friends as they experience Africa together.

There's something special about being in Africa alongside people who quickly become more than strangers. Shared adventures, unforgettable moments and memories that last long after the journey ends.

That's the magic of small group travel. 🦁✨

These are the kinds of moments you can’t plan for and never forget.
Imagine sipping tea in Africa while elephants wander past camp.
This is what makes Safari so special. The wildlife isn’t confined, you’re fully immersed in nature and every moment feels unforgettable.
Andrea caught this amazing moment during her time in Africa and it’s one we had to share with you.

Not every safari experience happens from inside a vehicle.

Andrea recently experienced a boat cruise and saw wildlife from a completely different perspective. From the water, you notice things you would never normally see on land.

It’s slower, peaceful and such a unique way to experience Africa.

That’s one of the things we love most about safari travel. No two days ever look the same.

A new sunset cruise has launched in Victoria Falls and it looks incredible.

The Bamba Boat Sunset Cruise takes guests along the Zambezi River on a 2.5-hour evening cruise with beautiful views, canapés, cocktails and a front row seat to sunset in the national park. The experience is part of “The Bamba Day,” which also includes a morning tram ride through Zambezi National Park and an e-bike tour with stops at some of the area’s scenic viewpoints.

Andrea is currently exploring Africa and here’s a little glimpse of what her itinerary will look like over the next few weeks. She’s excited to experience some new camps and revisit a few favourites along the way. Zambia is one of her favourite safari regions and is currently listed as a Green travel advisory destination by the Canadian Government, alongside Rwanda, which reflects a low level of travel risk for visitors.

We'll be sharing more updates soon!
