How to UberEats in the Bush! 😋🐆

A leopard’s version of “UberEats” is certainly not the same as the one you’re used to! 😃

Here, a leopard is carefully securing its meal in a safe spot, ensuring it can dine in peace without interference from other apex predators.

This incredible moment was captured in Chobe National Park, Botswana! 🇧🇼

What an Extraordinary Year 2024 Has Been! 🔥

Heartfelt thanks to everyone who joined us on unforgettable journeys through the vast African wilderness. 🌍

At Wito Africa, we promise to deliver only the most authentic experiences—designed to maximize wildlife encounters, comfort, and discovery. From the endless plains of the Serengeti and the pristine beaches of Zanzibar to the jungles of Rwanda and Uganda, Botswana’s untouched Savuti and Chobe, the Okavango Delta, and the breathtaking Victoria Falls, we’ve been proud to craft life-changing adventures across East and Southern Africa.

In Tanzania, the iconic Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire, Kilimanjaro, and Zanzibar continued to captivate our guests. Photographic safaris, led by world-class photographers, allowed travelers to capture Tanzania’s stunning wildlife, awe-inspiring landscapes, and vibrant local cultures.

Zanzibar offered a luxurious retreat, where pristine white sand beaches provided the ultimate comfort and relaxation for our discerning guests.

In Rwanda and Uganda, we shared intimate moments with mountain gorillas, chimpanzees, and golden monkeys. Tree-climbing lions in Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda, and walks with endangered black rhinos at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary added to the magic of our jungle adventures.

Southern Africa took us to new heights of exploration. Botswana’s Okavango Delta revealed its rich diversity of wildlife, birds, and flora, while the untouched wilderness of Savuti brought us face-to-face with majestic lion prides. The elephant paradise of Chobe left indelible memories for all who visited.

We’re thrilled to expand our horizons for the 2025/2026 season! Alongside our beloved destinations, we’re introducing exclusive English and Spanish-led trips to Laikipia, Kenya—a land of rare black leopards, breathtaking landscapes filled with big cats, elephants, and even African wild dogs.

🌟 To all who traveled with us or supported us this year, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Here’s to a bright and adventurous 2025!

Save this post for your future bucket list trips to Africa with us!

We’re starving, but our dinner is guarded by noisy guineafowl (s)

We need a better plan—maybe start with a snack-sized guineafowl, then move on to a young giraffe, or go big with a full meal… an elephant? 😋🦁

Ever feel like the wildlife is judging your outfit choices on safari? 🤫

Turns out, the animals see everything—even when you’re rocking those classic safari neutrals. I’ve witnessed so many moments where a warthog or zebra thought it was blending in, only for a lion to catch it anyway!

A huge thank you to our recent guest from the USA, , for sharing these stunning photos from their Tanzania photo safari with Jenna!

Why do some lions appear bald? 🤔

This was my first time capturing a portrait of a male lion with some patchy spots on its mane. It looks like the mane is still developing—or maybe it’s just bald! I took this shot in Chobe National Park, Botswana! 🇧🇼

Have you ever come across one of these bald-headed lions? 🦁

I see you, wild Serengeti lioness up in the tree—just wondering, will you come down from there?

From the big cats, monkeys, and elephants, to the ancient migration and the smallest details…

When you travel with us, it’s the little moments—a private bush dining experience under an acacia tree, storytelling under the stars with members of the local Maasai community, the way the sun sets over plains covered with wildlife, cooking with local mamas, and the knowledge and humor of our naturalist guides. These unforgettable experiences become cherished memories on your African safari with us.

Special thanks to & for allowing us to share the beauty of the Tanzanian wilderness with their honeymoon couple, & .

Hit that reset button! 🐘😍

You’re fresh off the plane, jet lag hasn’t even set in, and you’re already witnessing the iconic Victoria Falls and enjoying breathtaking encounters with elephants at the Chobe River!

Whether you’re seeing the falls from the sky on a helicopter ride or exploring every viewpoint on a guided hike, the mist from the falls will make your time in Zimbabwe unforgettable. From there, you’ll cross the border into Botswana’s elephant paradise, Chobe National Park.

Just 10 minutes into your private boat ride and BAM, a family of elephants strolls by. You’ll spend the rest of the afternoon cruising down the Chobe River, floating past hippos, spotting crocs on the riverbank, and watching buffalo, all while enjoying your favorite beverage as you wait for the magical African sunset—and, of course, more elephants!

The sunset over Chobe is something out of this world. Capture the golden hues, the silhouette of elephants against the fading orange sky, as dusk emerges. And this is just day one! Who else has had a ‘pinch-me’ moment on safari?

Looking for ideas for an unforgettable Botswana safari? Here’s a sample itinerary that we can personalize to fit your travel style, schedule, and discerning taste! Start or end with Victoria Falls, then Chobe, Savuti, Okavango Delta, and finally Khwai—if you’ve ever dreamt of a perfect safari, this is it.

Which stop on your African adventure are you most excited for?

It’s okay to daydream, but…

Nothing says ‘recharge’ like trading your usual hustle and bustle for Africa’s open plains and breathtaking wildlife.

As you drive through the untouched wilderness of Savute in an open safari jeep, the warm African sun gently soothes your skin. A refreshing breeze cools your face, grounding you in the moment as your senses fully awaken to your surroundings.

You start to notice the small details essential to this ecosystem. As you take in the landscape, different elements of Africa come together in your mind. This remote region of Botswana feels like a rugged, sandy beach—minus the ocean or picturesque palm trees. Instead, the authentic golden savanna, dotted with bushy trees, provides a unique setting with the thrilling possibility of spotting lions.

I remember seeing lions lounging in any bit of shade they could find, practically wishing for an umbrella. You pause to observe a pride with cubs—don’t forget there’s a warthog side-eyeing the lions, too!

When the sun sets in Savuti, the predators come out to play. Cue the lions and hyenas, who definitely didn’t get the ‘early to bed’ memo. Watch them in action at one of the park’s iconic waterholes!

As you wrap up the night with a gin and tonic or an Amarula, watching the magical African sunset, you can’t help but think how cool it is to see lions, hyenas, and elephants hanging out in the same neighborhood.

Whether you’re looking to create a tailor-made adventure that fits your schedule, interests, and travel style, or you’d like to join a small group of like-minded travelers, we can help you plan every detail.

We believe that small efforts can make a big difference when you know your WHY! 🌍

Proud to have Kelvin from our Tanzania management team finalize our new partnership with SeedBombs, where we’ll Toss Seeds & Grow Trees together!

Growing up in Tanzania, I was always fascinated by the beauty of our wild spaces. Seeing wildlife in their natural habitat without boundaries made me want to share that beauty with the world. I used to watch elephants traverse between parks and villages, roaming freely alongside other animals migrating between dry and wet seasons.

But as human settlements grow in areas near the parks, these creatures are increasingly limited in their search for green pastures and water. That’s WHY it’s so important to help take care of the natural world, so it can continue to take care of our wildlife.

We believe small actions can lead to big change, and that’s why we’re so excited about Wito Africa’s new partnership with SeedBombs, Tanzania. Together, we’re helping restore forests, one tree at a time. This initiative will focus on wildlife corridors in the Mara Region and Hanang (Mbulu).

With every safari, you’ll be part of Wito’s Toss and Grow initiative. Going on safari with us means planting a seed bomb in Tanzania’s wilderness, knowing it will grow into a tree that captures carbon, supports wildlife, and helps reverse desertification. 🌱

Going on safari with us is an easy way for you to give back to our planet. The Wito Effect ensures that every trip makes a meaningful impact, empowering local communities and conserving the beauty of Africa for generations to come.

For more info about this initiative, you can email us at [email protected] and ask to be added to our mailing list!

Ready to leave your mark on the planet? Come on safari with us, and let’s make a difference together. 🦁🌍

I’ll tell you this: the first time I saw gorillas in the wild jungles of Uganda and Rwanda, I realized no picture could ever capture that feeling.

I’ve been where you are—wondering if a gorilla trekking adventure will really be worth it. Will it live up to all the dream encounters one sees online? Will it change you?

For me, the gorilla trekking experience isn’t just about adventure—it’s about connection. I’ll never forget how small I felt the first time I saw a gorilla in the wild.

Not small in a bad way, but in awe. I used to be caught up in the fast pace of life, but in the jungles of Uganda or Rwanda, time slows down. You learn to appreciate every moment, every breath.

Many people might think it’s just about ticking off a box. But standing there, watching a family of gorillas, I realized how much we have to learn from them. It’s a truly remarkable experience. 🦍✨

Why should you plan your first gorilla experience with us? We are experts in crafting unique African experiences, handling everything for you from start to finish.

Our team will guide you safely into the untamed jungles of Bwindi and Volcanoes, where you’ll have life-changing encounters with gorillas—without the stress of planning every detail.

To get started, simply DM us or email [email protected] to start planning your dream gorilla trekking experience.

We didn’t think we had the time to do this 🤔

To pause life, travel to Africa, and reconnect with something deeper—mingle with the local tribes, experience the wildlife, and take in the unique landscapes!

But the more we resisted, the louder the call of the wild became. Until one day, we just went for it and planned our trip with the experts—we decided to go on our first-ever safari in Tanzania.

While on safari, we discovered the enchanting beauty of wildlife in their natural habitats throughout Tanzania’s northern safari circuit. From countless elephants—some even coming up close and personal at our elevated treetop lodge in Tarangire—to lions and cheetahs in the Eastern & Central Serengeti, leopards, hyenas, jackals, hippos at Lake Manyara, pink flamingos at Ngorongoro Crater, and thousands of wildebeest and zebras in the Northern Serengeti, we saw all the creatures, big and small!

The best part of it all was the warmth of the local people with their natural hospitality. We couldn’t help but wonder, why hadn’t we done this earlier?

That’s when we realized—it’s true. That feeling in your gut telling you to travel to Africa at least once? Listen to it. Go on an African safari, and you’ll be completely transformed by its endless magic!

If you want to create your own life-changing safari in Africa with us, just DM or email us at [email protected]. One of our experts will be happy to craft your dream safari experience!
