One year ago today - waking up at Explora Torres del Paine after camping our way along 5-nights of the W-Trek and it feeling like heaven on earth.

The Pel's fishing owl is one of the most sought after sightings for keen birdwatchers. We've been lucky enough to encounter quite a few over the years. This youngster was spotted at Duba Explorers Camp in the Okavango Delta, at the time a breeding pair of owls was nesting on the same secluded island as the camp itself.

Swipe to see more of this stunning camp.

The vintage safari style you will find in your room.

Rhinos are doing extremely well in Kenya's Borana and Lewa Conservancies. So much so that this white rhino was a little too curious as we stopped for tea and coffee during a game drive... or perhaps the smell of freshly based cookies was just too tempting.

With their eyes located on the sides of their massive heads they lack depth perception, but a sharp, expertly timed clap from Lead Rhino Monitor and Ranger, Kiloku, provided the reminder that we were there.

In 2014 the fence between the neighbouring Borana and Lewa Conservancies was removed to create a unified 93,000-acre sanctuary, which now protects around 14% of Kenya's total rhino population!

By choosing to stay at a property on either Conservancy you are directly contributing to the ongoing efforts to protect, not only rhinos, but all species big and small that share a beautiful part of Kenya with this flagship animal.

The Linyanti in northern Botswana comes into its own at this time of year as the Linyanti River and its floodplains act as a lifeline, particularly for elephants and buffaloes, which can amass here in their thousands.

The surrounding water sources start to dry up and the scrub starts to brown so herbivores are drawn to the permanent water and the lush plains. As lion prides and wild dogs shadow the herds it can be especially rewarding to just turn off the engine and watch the action unfold around you.

Our travellers are loving the new Hemingways River Camp Mara.

Having opened anew in June of this year, the camp works perfectly for those not wanting to compromise on comfort but still have that under-canvas, out-in-the-wild feel. Located in the exclusive Mara North Conservancy it offers a more private and flexible experience compared to the nearby Masai Mara National Reserve.

The camp and those who choose to stay here contribute to a community-based conservation model that protects 74,000 acres of the Maasai Mara in partnership with more than 800 Maasai landowners. This approach ensures landowners benefit directly from conservation, safeguarding wildlife habitats and preserving one of Africa’s most iconic ecosystems.

With a stay 4, pay 3 special outside of the months of July, August and the festive period, a resident lion pride and nearby hyena den - what's not to love?!

Celebrating film photography this World Photography Day!

We love playing around with a film camera when on safari. There's something about the finite number of shots, not knowing or remembering exactly what you've taken and that gentle sense of anticipation when you get them developed.

As a solar eclipse sweeps across the northern hemisphere tonight, many of us will be looking to the skies hoping to glimpse this once-in-a-generation event.

In Northern Kenya spending a night under a blank of stars is an absolute must. Basecamp Samburu's star-beds allow you to do so in absolute comfort - complete with a proper bed, a private dinner set-up and even a hot-tub!
