Every year approximately 11,000,000,000,000 litres of water flows down from the Angolan highlands and fans out over the Okavango Delta. The water transforms this floodplain, which would normally be a part of the Kalahari Desert, into an unrivalled paradise, home to hundreds of thousands of Africa’s most famous animals. The only way to truly appreciate the scale of this transformation is by air. On his recent trip to the Okavango, safari specialist Cal took a scenic open-door helicopter flight Vumbura Plains. Flights like this are only offered at certain camps, so if you’d like to go on your own helicopter adventure, click the link in bio to chat to one of our Botswana specialists. They can guide you through the entire trip process.

Introducing our Lodge of the Month – The Londolozi Collection, South Africa .
It is a rare exception for us to dedicate our Lodge of the Month to an entire collection of properties, but a double centenary demands something special.

On 31st May, the iconic Kruger National Park celebrates its 100th birthday. Remarkably, Londolozi turns 100 this year, too. Having spent many years sending our clients to this legendary corner of the Sabi Sands – and spending plenty of time on the ground there ourselves – our specialists can confidently say that few places combine conservation and luxury quite as well as Londolozi.

As it’s made up of five distinct camps, there truly is something for everyone at Londolozi. The trick is knowing which camp matches your travel style, which is where our specialists’ first-hand knowledge comes in.

The Highlights:
Tree Camp – For Romance: Suspended high in the canopy along the Sand River, Londolozi Tree Camp is pure safari romance. Strictly for guests aged 16 and over, it features lantern-lit decks, private salas, and plunge pools perfect for couples.

Varty Camp – For Families: The historic heart of Londolozi and our top choice for families. It offers great value, a beautiful classic safari aesthetic, and the famous ‘Cubs Den’ programme in which young adventurers can try everything from animal tracking to dung spitting.

Private Granite Suites – For Exclusivity: The pinnacle of luxury. With just three ultra-chic suites flanked by massive granite rocks, it offers plenty of privacy, heated pools, and outdoor bathtubs right on the river’s edge.

Our team knows the subtle nuances of every deck, view, and tracking team across the reserve. Head to the link in our bio to chat with a specialist who can guide you to your perfect Londolozi match.

📸 Captured by our experts: The replenishing water of the Okavango Delta

“There’s just so much life; with all the water, everything is so happy and alive and colourful.”

The Okavango Delta was at its animated best when our Senior Safari Specialist, Eleanor, visited on a recent trip to Botswana.

With April’s rainfall forcing animals into highly concentrated areas, the game viewing was astounding. From being the only vehicle around during a leopard cub sighting while at Wilderness Mombo, to witnessing a pack of wild dogs devouring a red lechwe in ten minutes at &Beyond Nxabega. And the high water levels provided a great excuse for scenic helicopter flights whilst transferring between camps, as well as mokoro boat trips.

Back on solid ground, Eleanor’s highlight was the mobile camp Beagle Expeditions. Masterful when it comes to stripping back the noise, the owner-run camp facilitates a true connection between each safari-goer and the bush. With land and water options available, Eleanor found that it was the best of both worlds for anyone who considers themselves an intrepid traveller. Swipe to see more of Eleanor’s time in the Delta 👉

If you’re only going to go on one safari in your lifetime, you need to consider Mana Pools in Zimbabwe. Safari Specialist Freddie explains why. This destination is not for everyone... Remote and wild, Mana Pools National Park offers a completely different experience from classic safari destinations such as the Serengeti or the Maasai Mara.

Here are a few things you should know:

To get to Mana Pools, fly internationally to Harare, Victoria Falls, then take a light aircraft flight directly into one of Mana Pools’ airstrips (which our experts will arrange for you).

The best time of year to visit: May–October (dry season), with peak wildlife viewing August–October.

Stay at camps like Wilderness Ruckomechi, Kanga Camp, or John’s Camp. Each of these camps offers exceptional walking safari experiences.

There is so much more in-depth information for planning a safari in Mana Pools, but we can’t fit it all into one video. If you’d like to know more, click the link in our bio and reach out to Freddie or one of our other safari specialists, as they can answer all your safari-related questions.

Showdown in the Delta 🦁🐆

Our safari specialist, Aidan, captured this incredibly rare moment whilst out in the Okavango Delta. With the rising water pushing wildlife into higher densities this year, predator interaction at Wilderness Mombo is at an all-time high.

Watch what happens when this lion spots a leopard in the branches and decides to take a closer look...

This safari camp is not about seeing the Big Five. At Wayo Manyara Green Camp, your safari has a different focus.

Hidden at the base of a waterfall in Lake Manyara National Park, this exceptional camp sits beside a pristine riverbed. It’s simple, but elegant: solar-powered retractable star-roofs, waterfall pools you can swim in, and fresh meals prepared by the resident chef. This is one of those places where wildlife walks right into the camp. Activities here include expertly guided game drives, cultural trips to nearby villages, mountain biking or canoeing on Lake Manyara. If you’re looking for an intimate safari experience before heading to the Serengeti, Wayo Manyara Green Camp is the perfect first stop.

These incredible photos from our client, David, capture the essence of Namibia perfectly. From the iconic red dunes at Wilderness Kulala Desert Lodge to the desert-adapted wildlife at Wilderness Hoanib Skeleton Coast Camp, it is a destination defined by these unique, magical moments.

“It is unrivalled. There is nowhere else in Africa that can offer what we’re experiencing right now.”

That’s a bold statement.

We asked our Founder, Julian, to explain why he said it:

“It is bold, you’re right, and I had better explain it!

It starts with exclusivity. Botswana’s private reserves are huge and exclusive to the people staying in the camps there. That ramps up the price, but the reward for paying Africa’s highest price tag is unrivalled privacy. Nowhere else in Africa has private reserves anywhere near as big. Some reserves here are over three times larger than the entire Sabi Sands, and ‘The Sands’ has well over 40 camps. Here you’ve got just four!

The sheer quality of habitat. A truly pristine, unfenced ecosystem where big game moves as it has for hundreds of years, following routes embedded in their genes. Vast open skies, rivers, incredible sunsets – perfection in a big game ecosystem.

The sheer quality of game! This region is the centre point of approximately 250,000 elephants, the largest herds on Earth. Satellite data of ancient elephant pathways identified this exact spot as the location for DumaTau. Sit there from July to October, and you’ll see hundreds of elephants, likely over a thousand.

This area used to be ruled by the Army Boys. Split between Selinda and Linyanti, they were a coalition of six massive males in the prime of life.

The best camps offer a real range of activities: off-road driving, walking safaris, day and night game drives, incredible boat safaris, hides, sleep-outs. Huge value in that diversity.

Finally, DumaTau. One of my favourite properties on the continent, a genuine top three for me. Huge suites, private plunge pools, elephants swimming in front of your room, barbecues on boats as herds cross in front of you… with no one else around. Multi-award-winning, and it’s hosted some very famous travellers.

Blend it all together – ecosystem, reserve, wildlife, camp, activities, ultra-exclusivity – and I’ll argue this camp and this region are unrivalled for that depth of experience.”

Today, we celebrate a century of Sir David Attenborough as he turns 100.

To millions, the natural historian is a genuine global treasure and the voice of the natural world. For many of us here at Yellow Zebra, he is the reason we do what we do. His pioneering storytelling hasn't just shaped our careers; it has fundamentally impacted how we perceive and protect the wild spaces of Africa and beyond.

Happy 100th birthday, Sir David. Thank you for bringing the natural world to our screens 🌍🦓

“Moments we’ll never forget.” 🦍

Susan, Marion, and Magda from our Operations team recently returned from an incredible journey through Rwanda. In Magda’s words, the experience was even more special than they’d imagined:

“The three of us set off on our Rwandan adventure knowing it would be special, but it turned out to be so much more!

“We had three unforgettable nights at Wilderness Bisate Reserve, where we felt completely spoilt. Everything from the lodge to the people and the food was beyond what we could have ever imagined. And then the highlight… gorilla trekking. Filled with moments we’ll never forget, it was humbling, emotional, and something that made us feel so deeply connected to these incredible animals.

“We ended at Wilderness Magashi, making even more special memories, such as G&Ts at sunset while watching a pride of lions, and even catching a shooting star across the African night sky! Rwanda will stay with us forever! We have full hearts and unforgettable memories, and we’re already dreaming of going back.”
