'How to boil a kettle in the desert' and other sandy adventures from our happy travellers currently travelling through Namibia.

A throwback this to Etosha National Park, Namibia in 2015. Many visits have followed and the camera is somewhat larger these days.

The sad reality is that while elephants might seem commonplace in many protected areas, some estimates suggest up to 200,000 have been illegally killed since this photo was taken.

"Just to let you know we have arrived at Sunset House and it is truly amazing - thank you"

With family or friends and your own private hospitality team, it can be difficult to tear yourself away from this stunning 3-bedroom villa in order to explore the surrounding South Luangwa National Park, or 'Valley of the leopard' 🐆.

A few memories from Moela Safari Lodge in Botswana.

More than just seeing massive crocodiles basking in front of your room, Moela Safari Lodge tells the story of community ownership and local pride.

Built with handmade clay bricks and the expert craftsmanship of Batswana artisans, revenue from tourism is then reinvested into educational outreach, predator-proof livestock protection, invasive plant removal and drought relief.

At this human-wildlife pinch point on the edge of the Makgadikgadi National Park, it aims to empower local communities to safeguard their own heritage as well as that of the local wildlife.

Hornbill stealing the show at Leroo La Tau Lodge.

Trying to take a picture of this elephant drinking below the lodge and this African grey hornbill wants to get in on the action.

Faran Travel stayed at the lodge in early May, just before the bulk of Botswana's zebra migration came to town, but there was still lots to see, even when just hanging out in your room.

The dust has settled on our first hosted trip through South Africa, Zambia and Botswana.

Two weeks of 5am wake-up calls, strong black coffee, 'what was that' moments, birdsong, big skies and camp fire stories. Pure bliss!

Truly grateful to have been trusted by our wonderful guests to show them first-hand what a Faran trip is all about.

Thanks to , , and for having us along the way.

We're constantly in awe of the skill and instinct of Africa's expert safari guides and trackers.

In landscapes of endless tall grass and dense thickets, they somehow manage to spot the un-spot-able.

If you've experienced those "how on earth did you see that?!" moments on safari, you'll know exactly what we mean.

Although it does help when animals decide to use the 'road' every now and again.

This was a morning in the Sabi Sands, South Africa, on our most recent trip.

Some beautiful Phinda lions this .

Who fancies hanging out with Africa's apex predator for Earth Day 2026?

Just arrived in Johannesburg ready to host a private group through some of the highlights of South Africa and Botswana, with a mini-break in Zambia - at Victoria Falls - in the middle.

Multi-country trips can present some obvious logistical challenges but also tonnes of variety.

Many of our travellers are choosing to travel for longer, perhaps combining what would have once been two separate trips (or more) into one. We've got the know-how and the connections to make sure it goes off without a hitch.

Very excited for whatever encounters may come our way. Stay tuned for updates!

The perfect safari wake-up... soft hues, strong coffee and toast over an open fire. Our idea of a 5-star breakfast.

It is World Rewilding Day and we'd like to highlight the stunning Sapi Private Reserve in Zimbabwe.

Adjacent to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Mana Pools National Park, in the north of Zimbabwe, is where you’ll find this 118,000 hectare reserve (for reference Greater London is around 159,000ha). Hunted since 1957, it is now protected by , who are restoring this essential ecosystem to form part of the wider Zambezi biosphere reserve.

Those who choose the Sapi Private Reserve will enjoy not only high-end hospitality at Tembo Plains Camp, but complete exclusivity on game drives, walking safaris, boat safaris, canoeing or perhaps a spot of cricket on the riverbank!

Beyond this, visit in the knowledge you have made a choice to eschew the more well-known areas in favour of the frontier, the wild and the meaningful.
