HAPPENING NOW...
Behold one of Zambia and Zimbabwe's most iconic experiences, and one of the Seven Wonders of the World: Victoria Falls! Bench Africa is on location, and this is what it looks like right now!!
Hands up - who's been here?
Safari isn't always about the heart-pounding action; sometimes it's these 'awww' moments that steal the show. 🧡🐾
Well this was unexpected!!
While gorilla trekking steals the spotlight in Rwanda, there is a plethora of wildlife that calls it home. Imagine spotting a majestic tusker right from your safari lodge. Well, it happened! Some lucky guests were treated to this extraordinary sight.
Super tuskers, with their giant ivory tusks, are exceedingly rare, and only a handful remain in the world. Witnessing one in the wild is a once-in-a-lifetime experience!
DID YOU KNOW...?
When a giraffe lowers its head to take a sip from a watering hole, it causes a rush of blood to their brain, resulting in a drop in blood pressure. To counteract this, they swiftly whip their heads back up in a smooth, almost choreographed motion. This quick manoeuvre helps regulate blood flow and keeps the giraffe feeling balanced and steady.
So, the next time you see a giraffe perform its signature head whip, remember: it's not just a quirk, it's their clever way of handling a head rush! 🦒
How many animals can you count?
It's impossible to fathom that this area in Tanzania was once barren, with wildlife numbers at an all-time low. But thanks to the dedicated efforts of Singita and the Grumeti Fund over the past two decades, this landscape has transformed into a thriving wilderness.
Join us in celebrating the great work of all the great conservation organisations in Africa and let's honour their vital contribution to these wild places! And while we're at it, let's celebrate you, because without tourism this simply wouldn't be possible!

The Great Wildebeest Migration is an annual event where millions of wildebeest, along with other animals like zebras and gazelles, move across the Serengeti in Tanzania and the Maasai Mara in Kenya. They follow the seasonal rains in search of fresh grazing, creating one of the most spectacular wildlife spectacles on Earth.
The migration is typically unpredictable in nature, and any number of slight shifts in the environment can alter the precise timing of the herds’ journey each year. How long they remain in any one place, and the duration of the process itself is all dependent on the subtle nuances of nature itself.
Because the Great Migration is such a popular attraction, lodges and camps located within prime areas for access to the action are in high demand over key periods and as such, we do advise you plan and book in advance where possible.
