Buffalo in the Storm 🌩️🐃

We sat amongst a huge herd of buffalo while staying at Mara Nyika in the Naboisho Conservancy, watching a storm slowly roll in across the plains. While many people think rain on safari can ruin the experience, it can actually add so much atmosphere and emotion to it. Dramatic skies, rich colours, shifting light and the excitement of the storm itself all create something incredibly special.

We took the opportunity to photograph the herd as the clouds built overhead, later turning the images into black and white which felt so fitting with the moody skies. It added such depth, drama and intensity to the moment.

Clear skies and dry weather are always wonderful on safari, but never shy away from an epic storm. Often, those unexpected moments become the most memorable part of the adventure!

And of course… a little splash of colour and a Pumba at the end of the rainbow to finish things off 🌈

Six days and five nights in one of the most incredible wilderness areas on our planet! 🐆

The Sabi Sand Nature Reserve, or the ‘Sands’ as it is affectionately referred to as, is a remarkable private reserve on the edge of the Kruger National Park in South Africa. Renowned for its exceptional predator viewing, especially leopard, this area produces incredible game viewing on a regular and very consistent basis.

Our time here has not disappointed, and on top of seeing and staying at some incredible lodges, we were treated to amazing sightings - including 12 individual leopards (mind blowing we know 🤯) and multiple prides of lions (some with the CUTEST cubs).

There are so many amazing places to visit and experience in Africa, and we would absolutely love to show them all to you, but the Sabi Sand is one that we think has to be on your bucket list.

Keen to learn more? Pop us a message and we’d love to help ☺️💛

If you’re looking for the excitement and immersion of a tented camp whilst on safari, but don’t want to give up any of your creature comforts, then these 5 camps will blow your mind 😍

Yes, they are insanely beautiful, with exceptional hospitality, but they also offer some of the best wilderness experiences around. And at the end of the day, that’s why you come on safari, right? Right.

In no particular order of spectacularness:

• Mara Toto Tree Camp | Masai Mara, Kenya
• Sabora Tented Camp | Grumeti Reserve, Tanzania
• Ngala Tented Camp | Timbavati, South Africa
• Namiri Plains | Eastern Serengeti, Tanzania
• Masiya’s Camp | Thornybush, South Africa

These are some of the most refined under canvas experiences on offer in Africa, and you would be hard pressed to find better, so be sure to save this for your next glamping expedition 🧡

Ps. Some of you may argue that these are not really tented camps, but they are. Technically. Just really really nice ones 😏

If you’re looking for somewhere to truly slow down after an East African safari, this is one of our favourite places to send you ☀️
fanjove is a small, private island off the coast of Tanzania. Remote, beautifully untouched, and a world away from the pace of Zanzibar. There is no rush here, just space, stillness, and the feeling of being completely removed.

Snorkel straight off the beach in crystal clear water, with vibrant coral reefs and an abundance of marine life. Sail at sunset on a traditional dhow, head out on an island walk discovering the history of the lighthouse and the surrounding ecosystem. Kayak, paddle board, swim, or simply find your own stretch of white sand and stay there a little longer than planned.

The island is home to a handful of beautifully simple bandas, all open fronted and set just steps from the ocean, and a glorious manor villa. Designed to feel connected to the elements, with soft linen, natural materials, and uninterrupted sea views. It is barefoot luxury in its purest form and we love how thoughtful, understated, and deeply comfortable it is.

It is one of the most perfect ways to end a safari. Time to exhale, reflect, and soak up the rhythm of the ocean before heading home. Plus you get the sense of having somewhere truly special, almost entirely to yourself.

Save this for later, or reach out if you’d like us to build it into your safari journey ✨
