With so many of our clients currently on safari, the updates coming in from the bush have been nothing short of incredible. Here are just a few…

“The camps were amazing! The best we have ever done!!”

Wilderness

“So far, they’ve been treated to some fantastic wildlife sightings! They were fortunate enough to see our resident Bomani Pride of 21 lions at Bomani Pan, along with a large herd of buffalo and a beautiful breeding herd of elephants right at the pan”
 
Imvelo Safari Lodges

“Their rare sighting of a pride of lions, leopards mating twice, a cheetah with a cub and different herds of elephants during their game drive safari at Samburu National Reserve, along with views of Samburu’s iconic wildlife and special five, was a direct result of the pristine habitats their visit helps preserve.”

At African Portfolio, our journeys are often inspired by personal connections. For Anouk, Lake Malawi is one of those special places. Having grown up visiting its shores, she recently returned after more than 30 years, rediscovering the timeless beauty that first captured her heart.

Fringed by golden beaches and the crystal-clear waters of one of Africa's largest lakes, Lake Malawi remains one of Africa's best-kept secrets. From snorkeling among colorful cichlid fish and kayaking across calm waters to sunset dhow cruises and relaxed lakeside evenings, Anouk rediscovered the magic that had stayed with her all these years.

"Returning after more than 30 years reminded me why I fell in love with Lake Malawi in the first place. It has a timeless, unhurried beauty that encourages you to slow down, reconnect, and simply enjoy the moment." — Anouk

Read Anouk's latest blog, Lake Malawi Revisited, and discover why this remarkable destination is the perfect complement to a safari.
