There's a certain feeling that stays with you long after a safari. The quiet of an early morning, the sounds of the bush waking up, and the anticipation of what might be waiting around the next bend.

Out here, life moves to a different rhythm. There's time to slow down, take it all in and appreciate the moments you didn't see coming.

That's the safari state of mind.

Ask anyone in our Cape Town office where to go before or after a safari in South Africa, and the city is bound to come up.

With its ocean views, mountain trails, vibrant food scene, and beautiful coastal drives, Cape Town offers plenty to explore before heading into the bush. Pair the city with a safari, and you’ll experience two very different sides of South Africa, from the energy of the coast to the quiet magic of the wilderness.

There’s always one sighting you find yourself replaying. 🐘

For our traveller Dwayne George, this was one of them - a moment with elephants that earned a permanent place in the camera roll and the memory bank.

Africa has a way of giving you favourites you didn’t know you were waiting for.

Not much compares to seeing a massive bull elephant simply pay you no mind and stroll by 🐘

Captured by Thaakiera Ackerdien at Mana Pools during her recent travels, this moment is a reminder of the sheer presence of an elephant. Their gentle, yet intimidating presence is something many safari-goers speak about for years to come.

Today, on World Elephant Day, we’re celebrating these iconic giants of Africa, whose landscapes would not be the same without them.

A bucket-list trip realised. In this traveller story, Tamara and Kevin, joined by their close friends Rich and Cindy, turn a long-held dream of southern Africa into a journey through Victoria Falls, Botswana’s Okavango Delta, and Namibia’s desert landscapes.

Their adventure begins in the mist and roar of the Falls before moving into elephant country, Delta waterways, tiny bush planes, lion cub sightings, cheetahs on the hunt, and the wide-open stillness of Etosha and Damaraland. Along the way, unexpected moments, from flight disruptions and crutches to long road transfers and a brief illness, are met with care, flexibility, and guides who make the complex feel effortless.

But what stays with them most is the scale of the wilderness and the people who shaped the journey: the staff whose warmth reframed the meaning of tourism, the guide who became like family, and the rare feeling of having lived a bucket-list chapter that exceeded every expectation.

Africa’s waterfalls are more than scenic stops – they're places where rivers shape forests, mountains, communities, and unforgettable travel moments.

From the thundering mist of Victoria Falls between Zambia and Zimbabwe to the high cliffs of Tugela Falls in South Africa, the coffee-growing hills around Sipi Falls in Uganda, and the dramatic drop of Kalambo Falls between Zambia and Tanzania, each waterfall tells a different story.

Swipe through five of Africa’s most remarkable waterfalls and discover why these landscapes deserve a place on your safari itinerary.

A chapter written in gold. In this traveller story, Jaclynn and Tedd, two self-described animal people from the United States, set off on a southern Africa safari that takes them from the waterways of Botswana’s Okavango Delta to Hwange, Victoria Falls, and the legendary leopard country of MalaMala.

Their journey begins with stillness, birdlife, and deep Delta greens before unfolding into unforgettable wilderness moments: 15 elephants encountered on foot, lions resting in the shade of their safari vehicle, the spray and scale of Victoria Falls, and the rare thrill of seeing a brown hyena at MalaMala.

But what stays with them most is the feeling of being guests in a world that belongs entirely to the wild. From painted dog pups and nursing lionesses to thoughtful hospitality, seamless logistics, and even a mid-safari “hamburger and fries” intervention, this is a story of wildlife, care, humour, and the kind of adventure that raises the bar forever.

A 25-year dream, written across southern Africa. In this traveller story, David and Stephanie celebrate their wedding anniversary with a multi-country journey that moves from the history of Johannesburg to the wild drama of the Greater Kruger, Victoria Falls, Botswana’s Okavango Delta, Cape Town, and the Winelands. Their adventure begins with a deeper understanding of South Africa’s past, before unfolding into big-cat sightings, elephant encounters, the raw beauty of the Panorama Route, and the misty power of the Smoke That Thunders.

Along the way, seamless transfers, thoughtful guides, and warm hospitality turn complex cross-border logistics into something that feels effortless. From the poetry of Splash Camp in the Delta to the stories shared by their Cape Town guide and the culinary finale of Franschhoek, this journey becomes more than an anniversary trip. It becomes a standalone volume in their lives filled with wildlife, history, food, connection, and the rare feeling that everything simply clicked.

From “someday” to safari. In this traveller story, Steven and his parents turn a long-held family dream into a journey across southern Africa – one that blends adventure, comfort, wildlife, and meaningful time together.

Their trip begins in Johannesburg before moving to the spray-soaked drama of Victoria Falls, where genuine hospitality turns an unexpected illness into a memory of care. From there, Botswana brings them deeper into the wild: the intimate rhythms of Khwai, evenings around the boma, lion and hyena sightings, and the unforgettable magic of the Okavango Delta from above.

By the time they reach Cape Town, with penguins, mountain views, and the Cape of Good Hope behind them, Africa has become far more than a bucket-list destination. It has become a shared family chapter, one filled with golden light, generous people, wild places, and the feeling that the story has only just begun.
