Cheetah Tuesday - last stride of 2024!
Grace, speed, and pure elegance—all in a day’s stride for this stunning cheetah on the move at Ol Donyo, Chyulu Hills, Kenya.
Did you know cheetahs are the fastest land animals, reaching speeds of up to 112 km/h (70 mph) in just seconds! But it’s not just about speed—it’s about strategy, agility, and focus.
As we take our last stride of 2024, let’s move with purpose, dream big, and get ready to chase bold adventures in the new year!
🎥 Watch this beauty in action!

Africa is a continent of limitless horizons—from the sweeping dunes of Namibia's Sossusvlei to the waterways of the Okavango Delta. These breathtaking places remind us that no dream is too big and no horizon too distant.
What’s your next great adventure?
Let Africa’s endless landscapes inspire bold dreams for the year ahead.

Did you know? Africa is home to the Baobab Tree, often called the "Tree of Life." These ancient giants can live for over 1,000 years, storing water in their trunks and providing shelter and nourishment to people and wildlife alike.
As this year draws to a close, let’s be like the Baobab—strong, enduring, and generous. What roots have you planted this year, and how will you grow in the next?
We worked hard to plant the seeds of service in the minds of our children on our Kenya visit.

As the year winds down, let’s pause and marvel at one of Africa’s greatest wonders: the Great Migration. Over 2 million wildebeest and zebras journey across the Serengeti and Maasai Mara every year in search of greener pastures—a true testament to resilience and survival.
Late December sees the herds spread throughout the eastern and southern reaches. In the early months of the new year, the grasses in the deep south of the Serengeti are lush with rain, drawing the herds down to graze and give birth.
Do you have a migration story from this year? What goals did you pursue or places did you explore?
Ours was to share the colourful cultures, wonderful wildlife and wilderness of Kenya with the kids.
26/12/2024
Start 2025 with an unforgettable adventure!
What’s the ultimate way to kick off the new year? A Great Migration safari in Tanzania’s Serengeti of course.
From January to March, the Serengeti transforms into a magical nursery as 500,000 wildebeest calves are born—at a staggering rate of 8,000+ a day during peak calving season. Witness this breathtaking phenomenon on the open plains of Ndutu, where safety in numbers meets heart-racing predator action.
But that’s just the beginning! Tanzania’s Northern Circuit offers:
The iconic Ngorongoro Crater—a haven for the Big Five.
Tarangire National Park with its ancient baobabs and elephant herds.
The cultural treasures and diversity of Lake Eyasi, home to the Hadzabe people.
A January safari is the perfect blend of nature, wildlife, and culture. Will you be there to experience it?
26/12/2024
Still unwrapping memories from Christmas? We've already start dreaming of unboxing our next adventure in Africa!
Picture yourself spotting lions in the Serengeti, cruising the Zambezi River, or trekking to see mountain gorillas in Rwanda.
This Boxing Day, trade wrapping paper for wanderlust and let your next great journey begin. Ready to explore? We’ll help you pack more than just your bags—we’ll pack your soul with stories.
Where will your African adventure take you next?
