🐘 World Elephant Day—and we couldn’t resist sharing Hilary’s rather unusual day at the office.

While catching up on emails at Sarara Camp in northern Kenya, this elephant wandered by to check on her progress. Encounters like this are one of the things we love about Sarara—and they’re part of a much bigger story.

Sarara lies within Namunyak Wildlife Conservancy, also home to Reteti Elephant Sanctuary, one of our favorite community-led conservation projects. Reteti rescues and rehabilitates orphaned elephant calves, with the goal of returning them to the wild.

Its work goes well beyond rescue, helping protect habitat and support the communities who share this extraordinary landscape with elephants.

Elephants have a way of leaving an impression. Share a favorite elephant photo or memory from safari with us—we’d love to see them. 🐘

Too hot this summer?

Maybe. But not all heat is bad.

Namibia’s dry climate is part of what makes it so striking. Millions of years of sun, wind, and very little rain have shaped towering dunes, ancient fossils, extraordinary geology, and incredible earth-tone colors. Even the wildlife has adapted to life in one of the driest places on earth.

But don’t be fooled into thinking Namibia is always hot. Our summer is their winter—one of the best times to visit—with warm, dry days and early mornings and nights that can be downright cold.

So, start thinking about next summer. It might be time to let your inner adventurer out. Climb a dune. Try sandboarding in the world’s oldest desert. Go looking for desert-adapted elephants.

We think Namibia might just surprise you.

Today, on World Ranger Day, we recognize the men and women working behind the scenes to protect Africa’s wildlife and wild places.

On safari, we witness some of the world’s most striking wildlife and meet the guides who help us understand it. Less visible are the rangers whose knowledge, vigilance and sheer dedication protect these animals and the wilderness they inhabit. Quite simply, none of it would be possible without them.

One particularly powerful ranger story is Akashinga—“The Brave Ones”—the women protecting wildlife in Zimbabwe while creating new opportunities for their families and communities. Take a moment to learn about their work. Akashinga

There's a version of Kenya many people don't see. The one right after the rains, when everything is impossibly green and petrichor — that unmistakable smell of rain hitting dry earth — still hangs in the air.

Newborn impala on wobbly legs. Elephant herds moving through grass instead of dust. Some days, it's just you and your guide in the vehicle — no one else in sight.

January doesn't get the hype. But talk to anyone who's actually been, and it's often the trip they loved most.

Ask us about it — we could talk about January in Kenya all day.

Some places remain wild enough that the noise of the modern world still feels far away. Kafue is one of them.

Kafue is Zambia's largest national park. Here you’ll find river systems, floodplains, abundant wildlife, and the kind of quiet that's becoming increasingly elusive. The people who visit rarely feel the need to talk it up. They simply return.

Reach out if you'd like to be one of them. We're now planning 2027 safaris.

The Kenyan coast offers culture, historic hotels, water sports, colorful birds, dhow sunsets, fresh seafood and endless white sand beaches.
Wander the ancient narrow cobblestone streets of Shela on Lamu and enjoy a sundowner on a local dhow boat.
Catch a 60 kilo sailfish off the beaches of Watamu or just enjoy fresh yellowfin sashimi at a beach cafe.
Explore and shop the artist community in Kilifi and take a boat up the river of mangroves to look for the Carmine Bee-eater coming in to roost.
The coast makes a great extension to a Kenyan or Tanzanian safari.

If A Gorilla Story on Netflix moved you, imagine standing in the same Rwandan mountains — just feet from a mountain gorilla family. That's exactly what our Kenya & Rwanda journey offers: the private conservancies of the Maasai Mara, the pioneering wildlife projects of Laikipia, and a gorilla trek into Volcanoes National Park.
Attenborough has spent a lifetime showing us why this matters. We've spent 30 years helping people experience it firsthand. Reach out to us to learn more. 🦍🌿

There's nothing like seeing Africa with 10 of your best girl friends! We're still waking at 5am every morning remembering the early morning coffee deliveries to our tents, all day walks to our mobile tented camp, a lion taking down an impala, mom and son cheetah wrestling in the sun, warthog tails, afternoon jogs with our escari, lunch dessert, sounds of the bush at night and of course the sundowners!

Safari will likely bring you to Africa. But the human connections can bring a depth that will keep you returning. A group of women clients recently met up with some GLOW Foundation alumni girls who are advancing change through education across Kenya. The foundation supports girls through university and into a career. The GLOW girls then use their education to provide a waterfall of impact in their own communities. The girls spent the day with us, sharing their stories and showing us around Kibera, the largest slum in East Africa, as an example of the challenges they faced growing up. We met leaders of Amani Kibera who are helping young people in the slum participate in peacebuidling, conflict management, and health awareness through sport, cultural and educational projects.
