East Africa has a vibe of its own. And trust us, there’s so much more to experience than just going on safari!

From community walks to boda boda tours, we highly recommend exploring East Africa through the eyes of locals. It’s a great way to discover hidden gems, connect with communities, and experience the culture beyond the usual tourist trail.

Amboseli in Kenya is world-famous for 2 things: its large herds of elephants and the breathtaking views of Mount Kilimanjaro ⛰️

But there’s so much more to be found in this national park. Wildebeest, for example, plus waterbirds, lions, cheetahs and hyenas.

The best game viewing areas? Those you find in the south of the park, around the Olodoare Plains, Oltukai, Longinye Swamp, Observation Hill Swamp and Lake Kioko.

Where we’d stay in Madagascar? Relais Du Kirindy 💚

This magical accommodation sits opposite Kirindy Reserve: the perfect base for exploring tons of wildlife in one of the country’s richest forests.

Luxurious? Not particularly. Charming, authentic and small-scale? Definitely!

Some baobabs in Madagascar are over 1,000 years old and yes…they’re so wide that 30 people could hold hands around one🌳

Another fun fact: the trunk can store up to 120,000 litres of water, enough to fill a small swimming pool! That’s how they survive the long dry seasons.

Ever heard of a tree-climbing lion? 🦁

The Ishasha sector in Queen Elizabeth Park is famous for them. These masters of relaxation can often be found spread out across the branches of huge fig trees.

Why they climb? No one knows for sure. It could be to escape the heat, avoid biting insects or simply get a better view of what’s happening below.

📍 Ishasha, Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda

Guess where we are this time? 🌍

One hint:

To get to this river in Madagascar you’ll need to cross quicksand, whereafter you board the local ‘ferry’ 🚣🏿‍♀️ An unforgettable adventure!

Meet our fleet 🚘

This is the ultimate all-terrain camping vehicle, ideal for families or a group of friends! Our Land Cruiser Double Cab has 4 window seats, can fit 2 rooftop tents and has a roof hatch for game viewing 🦒
