Escape To Africa Safaris would like to wish you all a Happy New Year. Hoping that 2024 brings you joy and good health.
This is a beautiful photo of Victoria Falls also known as the smoke that thunders. One of our favorite destinations on our safari tours. A beautiful walk along the shores of the gorge with spectacular views of millions of gallons of cascading water will leave you in awe!

Wishing all Escape To Africa Safaris family and friends a Happy Festive Season! One of the questions I get asked the most is what is the difference between African and North American festive seasons?😀
Refer to the starkly contrasting photos below to differentiate the African festive season from the North American festive season.

Join us next year as we venture into African bushes on a 14 day Safari. We visit 5 different National Parks including Matopos National Park, Hwange National Park, Victoria Falls, Chobe National Park in Botswana and finally Mana Pools National Park.

Just came back from an amazing Escape To Africa Safaris with people that made it feel like a family vacation. We saw more animals than any one of us expected. The "BIG FIVE ANIMALS" all ticked off the bucket list in less than two weeks.
Stay tuned for more pictures and updates. I'm standing next to my good crazy friend Thierry in this photo.

One of the questions we have been asked the most about African safaris @ Escape To Africa Safaris is, "When is the best time to go on a safari?"
Each season is unique in its own way.

Spring season* November through to March/ April:
It's very green and sometimes wet. This is when most animals and birds have babies. Displays of young ones throughout the Bush delight guests.

Winter season* May through July: Still a beautiful season but animals tend to hide from the cold weather and spend most of their time under cover.

Fall and Summer* This is usually from August to November.
It is the best time for a safari in our opinion! Due to dryness and warmer weather, the animals come out in abundance to waterholes. Sunsets and sunrises are very beautiful and photographers will be in awe of golden hour.

Call us at 250 777 3303 or email us at [email protected]

We're happy to discuss anything safari related in a more detailed manner.

Hoping that everyone had wonderful Holidays. We are wishing everyone a Happy New Year.

Sorry we haven't been actively posting and or updating our page for a while now. I have been busy as I am in the process of acquiring my Pilot's License. We are resuming our African Safari Trips later this year from August through to November of 2023.
Here are a few pictures to kickstart safari conversations.

One of the most photographed birds in Africa, also a National bird for Botswana. The lilac breasted roller. ❤

These are very shy animals and rarely pose for a photo, but this young kudu wanted to show off his majestic beauty. Most of us wish we were as photogenic as this handsome guy who was happily posing for a photo.❤

Reminiscing on years we spent researching these beautiful creatures. One of the most interesting animals to spend time with. We are lucky to have witnessed them socializing, hunting, feeding, and vigorously defending their kill/food from hyenas. If you're one of the lucky ones to have seen these guys, please share your story with our Facebook family here.❤

If you’re looking for an African holiday, or need some travel inspiration for your next holiday, you’ve come to the right place.
Here at Escape to Africa Safaris, we design and organize tailor-made African expeditions, offering unforgettable wildlife encounters. Join us now as we are in the midst of our 2022 Bookings.

We create outstanding wildlife and adventure holidays in Southern Africa, especially in Zimbabwe where we are proudly from. Our team of experts explore all destinations we specialise in to ensure lifetime memories.

Africa is a fascinating continent offering exciting and unique experiences, breathtaking landscapes, ancient cultures and possibly the largest concentration and diversity of wildlife that you will ever see. Don't just dream it, live it.

Victoria Falls is an increasingly popular tourist destination. There are a number of unique aspects to this World Wonder which perhaps further explains its appeal. It is famous for being the largest waterfall in the world, in the wet season. It is 108m tall and 1708m wide with millions of gallons of water each minute. There are many beautiful lodges in this little town.
One of the reasons we at Escape to Africa Safaris love it, is because it's located in the Park. Thus when you step outside your lodging, you will be entering the natural habitat with an abundance of animals, including many of the continent’s elusive “Big Five”. Be wary, you will possibly run into buffalo, elephants, warthogs, baboons and many more right by your doorstep and in the middle of town. So take extra care! Remember, part of respecting nature is appreciating that you could be in danger and using common sense is a must.

If you, your friend and family are yearning for a Safari this year or next, please get in touch with us. Victoria Falls can be one of the places to take you to!

A very Happy New Year to you all. Wishing everyone a happy and healthy 2022. Here is a majestic Male Kudu to start our year 2022❤.

The Greater Kudu is a very shy woodland antelope found throughout eastern and southern Africa. Despite occupying such widespread territory, they are sparsely populated in many areas due to declining habitat, human encroachment, deforestation as well as poaching. There are two Kudu species, thus the Greater Kudu and the other being the Lesser Kudu.
The male Kudus are not always physically aggressive with each other, but sparring can sometimes occur between males, especially when both are of similar size and stature. In rare circumstances, sparring can result in their spiral horns interlocked with both males unable to free themselves from the other's horns, which can sadly result in the death of both animals.

Escape to Africa Safaris is wishing everyone a very Happy New Year! Sending our love to all corners of the world❤. With this ongoing pandemic, we are hopeful that 2022 may be a promising year for everyone.
If your New Year's resolution is an African Safari, get in touch with us as we are preparing for next year safaris.

Merry Christmas to you all. Escape to Africa Safaris is wishing you happy festive Holidays filled with love and good health❤

Mainly preyed upon by lions. When a herd member is attacked, others will rush to its defence. Collectively a number of buffalo are more than capable to stave off an attack by an entire pride of lions. A wounded buffalo bull is regarded as most dangerous by hunters, and is one of the reasons why this animal is included into the so-called 'BIG FIVE'.

It's smiles all around😀. The babies are everywhere. It's the time of year when most antelopes, zebras, birds, butterflies, grasshoppers and many more animals are having young ones❤. Perfect time for family Safaris.

Ever heard of a bird called Drongo?
I personally think these birds are the smartest out there.
They like fooling other birds and other mammals by acting as watchdogs, always poised and ready to warn other creatures of impending danger. Or at least that’s what the bird wants you to believe. These little birds don't always get meals the honest way, such as foraging and capturing insects in mid-air using their incredible aerial skills. They're rather little criminals. At other times, like on cold mornings when few insects are flitting around, the drongos turn to a life of crime. They mimic the alarm calls made by other predators, once again conning them into fleeing and leaving their chow behind. I could go on and on about these little clever birds.

It's a winter wonderland in Nelson, but just a few short months ago our group was in Africa enjoying the hot sun and spectacular wildlife. This delightful encounter with elephants took place in Chobe, National Park. . . . . . #herdofelephants #guidedtrips #reservefor2019 #nelson #zimbabwe #botswana #africa #safaris #liveinthekoots #bush #tours #explore #travels #landofsun #twoworlds

A beautiful & quiet Christmas....enjoying our time together and being conscientious of un-plugging and less focused on technology. The canyon was worthy of a few moments of video.

Taking off from a small airstrip in Manapools on our way to Victoria Falls. This National Park is over 20,000 km2 and is a haven for wildlife. October is a very dry month and excellent for animal viewing throughout the area. . . . . . . #manapools #manamagic #nationalpark #wildlife #ourtrips #safari #zimbabwe #dry #october #bushflight #charterplane #fly #overafrica #sky #barren

Some beautiful moments from our recent trip "Journey into Zimbabwe". Our six guests experienced characterful lodging, exciting interactions with wildlife, deep golden sunsets, an array of travel including bush flights and Land Cruiser, & were touched by the magnificent feel of Africa. We are setting up trips for the 2019 season. We guide a minimum of 4 and a maximum group of 10 people on our vintage style safaris. Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/escapetoafrica/?hl=en

Sorry it isn't clearer but so rewarding for the group to see a pack of painted dogs we used to research. The Nyakasanga pack is currently made up of 10 adults and 7 pups. They are highly social and fiercely loyal to eachother. . . . . #Manapools #painteddogs #safari #nelson #zimbabwe #intelligent #loyal #hunters #pups #nyakasanga #followus #bush #africa #survival #pack @escapetoafrica

Here's a few shakey videos from a few minutes ago. It's not Africa but always neat seeing deer and bears in our garden. Our dog Sadie isn't keen on having black bears in the garden! . . . . #blackbears #Nelson #Kootenays #bears #wildlife #beardog #visitors
