“I had three vacations wrapped up in one.”

That’s from our client Linda, who recently traveled with us through Cape Town, Victoria Falls and the Manyeleti Private Reserve.

She told us Cape Town was beautiful, she loved the cuisine and culture that she got to experience, and she was surprised that the encouter with the penguins touched her as much as it did.

Victoria Falls was breathtaking, "I can see why it's one of the Seven Wonders," but what really touched her heart here was meeting the people and the school children.

The Manyeleti Game Reserve did not dissapoint, the helicopter ride and the small prop plane was like nothing she's ever experienced. The animals, food and the safari camp blew her away!

But most of all, she appreciated the planning and care from our team to make her trip entirely stress free.

Linda, thank you for trusting us with your trip. Hearing about your incredible experience is exactly why we do what we do.

It’s been a busy few weeks at Hills of Africa, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Bush & Beyond came to our office and we hosted some local agents so they could learn all about the Bush & Beyond camps. Amy and Becky headed to Safari Pros in Denver to hear from other camps and agencies about the year ahead (and to pick up ideas for the future). Abby and Sam flew to Dallas to cheer on our client and dear friend Stratton Horres at his book release for From Crisis to Kilimanjaro, and got to hear his story of growth first-hand. Then Abby and Becky hit the road to Raleigh for a lunch and learn with Xigera Camp.

We’re always learning, always growing, and always looking for new ways to take care of our clients.

And just like that, our Wander group has headed home.

Looking back at these photos from Tintswalo Safari Camp and still pinching ourselves. The Manyeleti put on an absolute show — rhino, wild dogs, lions, and more, and the camp itself was as incredible as ever.

But honestly, it’s the people that make these trips. What a group. We already miss you all.

How to come Here’s how to make this your November.

Join us on our 2027 Wander Trip, November 5–17, where we will take you through some of Africa’s most extraordinary destinations. We start in Cape Town, make our way to the thundering Victoria Falls, and end in the stunning Manyeleti Private Game Reserve — staying at the incredible Tintswalo Safari Camp.

And as you can see from this reel, the Manyeleti delivers. Rhino, wildebeest, wild dogs, lions (and so much more!!) four nights in this private reserve and the bush does not hold back.

This is a small group trip guided by Sandy, and there are still a few spots available for 2027. If Africa has been on your list, now is the time.

Victoria Falls did not disappoint to out group of Wanderers.

A few days ago our Wander group was living their best lives in Zim. They had incredible local lunch at Dusty Roads, sundowners and dinner on a river cruise, a private tour of the falls, and for the brave ones — Devils Pool.

If this sounds like your kind of trip, we still have a few spots open for our 2027 Wander Trip through South Africa and Victoria Falls.

Sunrise. Hot air balloon. Ch*****ne breakfast. The Maasai Mara.

If that isn't enough to get you out of bed at dawn, we don't know what is.

A balloon safari over the Mara gives you about an hour above one of Africa's most breathtaking landscapes — watching the sunrise, spotting wildlife below, and floating over it all at the best possible angle. Your pilot can take you closer to the action if something is happening on the ground, which makes every flight completely different.

Not everywhere offers this experience, and the Maasai Mara is truly one of the best places in the world to do it. The ch*****ne breakfast waiting for you at the end is just the cherry on top.

We are so incredibly proud to share that our client and dear friend Stratton Horres is releasing his book From Crisis to Kilimanjaro on October 20th, and we can't wait to read it!

From Crisis to Kilimanjaro is a memoir about resilience, transformation and rediscovery. After a life-altering cancer diagnosis, Stratton made the extraordinary decision to summit Mount Kilimanjaro. The book weaves together the wisdom, adventure and personal growth that came from that journey.

From Crisis to Kilimanjaro is available October 20th. We could not be more excited for Stratton and we hope you'll join us in grabbing a copy!

Happy National Braai Day!

Today South Africa celebrates Heritage Day — and there is no better way to do it than gathered around an open fire with good food and great company. The braai isn’t just a barbecue. It is a South African institution that cuts across every culture, every language, and every background in one of the world’s most beautifully diverse nations.

At Hills of Africa, we have a special place in our hearts for a good braai and the idea that the most meaningful moments happen around a fire, under an open sky, with the people you love.

Sound familiar?

Whether you’re firing up the grill today in honor of one of our favorite places or just dreaming of the real thing, enjoy. And we would love to help you get there.

Happy Braai Day from all of us at Hills of Africa!!
