The question we get more than any other about solo safari isn't about safety. It's about whether it's lonely.

The answer? Not at all. Because traveling solo rarely means being alone.

Meals are shared around one table. Game drives bring together a handful of fellow travelers and expert guides who know the wilderness intimately. And the quiet moments are entirely yours to choose.

She’s been reading this bush for eleven years and still crouches at every fresh print like it’s the first one - introducing Alice Mantaine

Female guides are still a minority in this industry. The ones who make it are exacting, patient, and impossible to rattle. We work with several of them across our properties, and this month we’re putting them in front of the camera instead of just behind the radio.

Ask your specialist to request a female guide on your next booking. It’s simpler than people expect, and we can usually make it happen, especially at Angama Mara | Angama Amboseli | Angama Safari Camp.

Don’t go to Africa for the safari.

Go for the long lunches that turn into afternoons. The people you meet along the way. The places you never knew existed. The moments that weren’t on the itinerary.

And yes, go for the safari too.

We’re delighted to share our latest feature in Modern Luxury, exploring the Africa that goes far beyond the wildlife, and why the most extraordinary journeys are often about everything in between.

There’s something about Morocco that stays with you, perhaps it’s the scent of freshly baked bread drifting through the narrow streets of Fes, the energy of Marrakech’s bustling souks or sitting down to a candlelit dinner beneath the stars in the Dades Valley.

We’ve brought together some of our favorite experiences in our 12-day Culinary Journey to Morocco, taking you into local kitchens to learn recipes passed down through generations, through spice markets with expert guides and across the Atlas Mountains to the palm groves of Skoura.

It’s a wonderful way to experience a country whose food, hospitality and traditions are so closely connected, with beautiful places to stay along the way.

As bucket-list-worthy as witnessing the Great Migration may be, find yourself in the wrong place at the wrong time of year, and you could miss the herds entirely.

So, when exactly should you travel to East Africa?

That depends on what you want to see! From the dramatic Mara River crossings between July and October to the calving season in the southern Serengeti between January and March, the Great Migration is a year-round spectacle. The trick is knowing where to be, and when.

And when it comes to the greatest wildlife show on Earth, timing really is everything.

There are only four suites, and small camps like this tend to book out first.

Kanana Nyana opens in the Okavango Delta this week, bordering Moremi Game Reserve in one of the Delta’s most productive wildlife areas. Each thatched suite has its own plunge pool and takes its design cues from a different tree: Marula, Sausage, Ebony, and Mokolwane Palm.

Kanana means small in Setswana. That’s the whole idea, and it’s worth asking about early dates before everyone else does.

If you asked us to plan your honeymoon, we’d never make you choose between safari and the sea.

We’d give you both.

We’d start in the Serengeti with early mornings and wildlife that still leaves seasoned travelers speechless. Ending with evenings around the fire, replaying the day’s sightings over dinner.

Then we’d send you somewhere the pace changes completely.

Zanzibar.

This destination isn’t about filling your days but rather aimed at finally having time not to.

A few nights in the bush. A few more beside the Indian Ocean.

That’s the kind of contrast people remember long after they’ve unpacked.

October in northern Botswana: the pans are dry and life gathers at the river. Elephant herds come down to drink in the afternoon heat, and every arrival is worth watching.

Each month here tells a different story. Speak to a Travel Concierge to find yours. Link in bio.

If we were planning your November, we’d have you on a private charter out of Cape Town before dawn, landing on a blue-ice runway a few hours later.

The early Emperor penguin expedition is timed for the one window when the chicks are still down-covered and clustered at Atka Bay while the adults stand guard. It’s one of the rarer wildlife sightings on the planet, and it only works in November.

Most people come home through Cape Town and do nothing in particular for a few days. Some add a safari after. Either way, ice to ocean to bush is a strange, but excellent sequence.
