The world's most prestigious flower show crowned South Africa at the 2026 Chelsea Flower Show.

For the second consecutive year, horticulturist Leon Kluge led Team South Africa to gold at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show in London - the most prestigious flower show on the planet.

Our 2025 botanical safari guests were lucky enough to experience Leon's work in the landscapes that inspired it before it wowed Chelsea.

The 2025 display, "Living Oceans," featured 25,000 stems of ethically sourced indigenous fynbos, celebrating the extraordinary biodiversity born where the Indian and Atlantic Oceans meet. From Disa orchids to Cape Proteas to cliff-dwelling Streptocarpus South Africa's floral kingdom stopped the world in its tracks.

South Africa truly is the flower basket of Africa (and the world), and we can take you there.

For 50 years, rhinos were silent in northern Kenya. Then 2025 changed everything.

21 black rhinos were reintroduced to Loisaba Conservancy, a landscape poached into silence. Months later, a calf was born. Not just survival. Recovery.
But The Nature Conservancy (TNC) Africa isn't only about bringing animals back. Working across 55 million acres, they're building a conservation model rooted in people:

1,200 Kenyan women earning livelihoods through the BeadWORKS craft programme
Cape Town's first-ever Water Performance Bond restoring native plants and billions of litres of water
7 million hectares of African ecosystems protected since 1990
From the Congo Basin to Lake Tanganyika, TNC is betting on communities as the most powerful conservation tool on the continent.

Did you know? The Shoebill Stork looks like it was drawn by someone who had only ever heard a bird described to them and we mean that as the highest compliment.

Standing up to 1.4 metres tall, with a bill shaped like a Dutch clog and eyes that hold an unsettling level of intelligence, the Shoebill is one of the most prehistoric-looking birds alive today.

It is also one of the most sought-after wildlife sightings in East and Central Africa.

What makes the Shoebill unforgettable:

It can stand completely motionless for hours, waiting for a lungfish to surface then strikes with one of the fastest and most powerful bill-snaps in the bird world.

On a stretch of coastline near Knysna, South Africa, a team of scientists found something remarkable, footprints left by dinosaurs 132 million years ago, now sitting in the intertidal zone, submerged twice a day by the ocean.

These are the youngest dinosaur tracks ever found in southern Africa, and they're rewriting what we know about the region's prehistoric past. Among the prints are those of theropods, possible ornithopods, and giant sauropods all moving through what would have been lush tidal channels and river banks, in a landscape completely unrecognisable from today's coastline.

The discovery came after massive volcanic eruptions 182 million years ago were thought to have wiped out evidence of dinosaurs inland. Scientists turned to the coast and found history waiting in the rock.

Kwita Izina — Kinyarwanda for "to give a name", is Rwanda's annual gorilla naming ceremony, held each year in the shadow of the Virunga volcanoes.

Each new baby gorilla born into the wild is given a name in a ceremony that brings together park rangers, conservationists, researchers, local communities, and visitors from around the world.

Mountain gorillas once teetered on the edge of extinction fewer than 300 individuals remained in the wild. Today, thanks to decades of community-led conservation, that number has grown to over 1,000.

Kwita Izina is where Rwanda celebrates that victory, year after year, one tiny gorilla at a time.

History is about to become your bedroom.

Robben Island, the UNESCO World Heritage Site where Nelson Mandela was held for 18 years, is converting its former apartheid-era prison guard houses into overnight guest lodging.

Did you know? The Okavango River is one of the only major rivers in the world that never reaches the ocean.

Instead of flowing to the sea, it fans out across the Kalahari Desert in Botswana, spreading into a vast inland delta of channels, lagoons, floodplains, and islands covering up to 15,000 square kilometres at peak flood before slowly evaporating and soaking into the sand.

It goes nowhere. And in doing so, it creates one of the most extraordinary ecosystems on Earth.

The Okavango is proof that nature doesn't need to follow the expected route to create something magnificent.

In 1978, David Attenborough knelt in Rwanda's Virunga Mountains. Two wild gorillas climbed onto him.

Nobody planned it. Nobody expected it.

And it became one of the most quietly powerful moments in conservation history.
At the time, fewer than 300 mountain gorillas remained on Earth. What happened next and who made it happen is a story worth knowing.

A plant missing for nearly 200 years has just been found again and the story of how it happened is everything we love about conservation.

It was last collected and described in 1830 by German horticulturist Johann Franz Drège, and then not seen again. For nearly two centuries, botanists believed it was either exceedingly rare or extinct.

That changed when biodiversity officer JP le Roux stumbled across it during fieldwork on the Bokkeveld Plateau near Nieuwoudtville, after a fire in 2024 had cleared the area.

He posted a photograph on iNaturalist, where fellow botanists were able to confirm its identity.

Part of the mystery had been geographical the plant was originally believed to occur in the Caledon-Bredasdorp region of the Western Cape, around 300km away. Researchers had simply been looking in the wrong place.

And this is the landscape that Denver Botanic Gardens is taking travellers into this August. Led by botanical experts, you'll explore the same extraordinary region where discoveries like this still happen.

Did you know? The Secretary Bird is one of the most unusual birds of prey on Earth and it hunts entirely on foot.

Standing over a metre tall with legs like a crane and the face of an eagle, it stalks through open grasslands delivering lethal stamp-kicks to its prey like snakes, lizards, small mammals with a force five times its own body weight, delivered in under 15 milliseconds.

It's faster than a blink. The snake doesn't stand a chance.

When you travel through Southern Africa's open Grasslands and Savannas with Ujuzi, you stand a real chance of encountering one of these extraordinary birds at work. Your guide will read the landscape so you know exactly where to look.
