Misguided Safaris

You don’t really just see an elephant, You feel it.

A presence that humbles the moment it enters the frame.
This bull moved with quiet confidence, cutting across the track like he had somewhere to be. No rush. No fuss. Just wild intention.

We sat in silence. Phones up. Hearts wide open.

A moment so simple, it stays with you forever.

Wish you were here.

Thinking About a Family Safari? Now’s the Time!

Skip the crowded theme parks and predictable sightseeing tours. Africa offers something far more meaningful, a family safari that will leave your kids wide-eyed and forever changed.

Picture your children watching a herd of elephants cross the savannah or hearing the distant roar of a lion under a setting sun. This isn’t just a vacation. It’s an open-air classroom, where nature teaches the lessons that matter most—wonder, patience, respect.

Many family-friendly safari lodges offer hands-on activities like wildlife tracking, catch-and-release fishing, and cultural crafts with local guides. It's travel with purpose, designed to spark curiosity and connection in young minds.

Look for malaria-free safari zones and family accommodations with private villas or spacious suites. Comfort, safety, and incredible wildlife experiences do go hand in hand.

In a world that moves too fast, this is your chance to slow down and share something unforgettable with your children or grandchildren.

A family safari in Africa isn’t just a trip. It’s a story they’ll tell for the rest of their lives.

What an AMAZING first group for 2023! They came, they saw, they safaried. From sunrise bushwalks to late night starry sky filled game drives, there was nothing they couldn’t tackle. And the wildlife! Wall to wall Kruger put on an amazing show.

One of our favorite camps in Kruger is Olifants. Perched high up on a hill overlooking the Olifants River below, this camp feels more like a medieval fortress with views that stretch all the way to Mozambique. If you’re here, you’re at peace.

What's on our mind? Food! Always. Of the many delicious dishes we've enjoyed on safari, honestly there's nothing like the comfort of bobotie. Warm. Meaty. Full of curried flavor. It's delicious, and definitely a go to on cold winter nights. Try it for yourself and tell us what you think!

This classic dish from South Africa, Bobotie (pronounced ba-bo-tea), is made with ground beef seasoned to perfection and a creamy, decadent topping. It is rich, savory, spicy, aromatic, and zingy. A comforting meal, full of the flavors of Africa!
