We have been dealing with South Africa as a tourist destination since prior to the majority-rule government of 1995, when only a handful of tour operators in the UK were selling the country. We have seen the product develop, and visitor numbers increase from the hundreds, to hundreds of thousands. Throughout this process we have been building relationships and refining our offering, to a point whe

re we don't believe our knowledge, contacts and expertise can be bettered. Similarly we have been dealing in Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana, Namibia, Mauritius and the Seychelles for 20+ years. We have been part of the growth of these countries as tourist destinations, and again we have developed relationships and expertise that enable us to offer a peerless service and knowledge. In East Africa (Kenya & Tanzania) and Central East Africa (Malawi, Rwanda, Uganda) we work with some of the most experienced operations on the ground in each country, bringing with them a wealth of experience.

Following a stay in Chobe, Rebecca took a light aircraft flight over to the Okavango Delta region, to explore this wildlife rich area. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the lush landscape of the Delta is made up largely of winding waterways. A traditional Mokoro boat trip is the best way to get up close to the nature in this region. Rebecca had a unique sundowner drink, with the table set up in the ankle deep water of the delta! The Moremi Game Reserve offers amazing game viewing by vehicle, as well as year round water activities.

After her first stop in Victoria Falls, Rebecca hopped over the border to Botswana to embark on a safari in the Chobe National Park, as well as paying a visit to BTTE in Kasane to catch up with the latest news in the Botswana Tourism circles, as well as partners on the ground.

A safari in Chobe National Park offers the best of both worlds on safari, with drives through the game abundant park and boat cruises along the Chobe river both on offer. Solar powered boats and vehicles are on offer as part of the company’s focus on sustainability, and have the added benefit of being quieter than regular vehicles - perfect for sneaking up on the more skittish animals of the bush!

Did you know we offer a cruise? Like us, it’s relatively small, with only 21 cabins on the ship. It takes you around the magical islands of The Seychelles, from larger inhabited islands, to smaller islands dedicated entirely to conservation. The Seychelles is all about the wildlife, equally on land and at sea, and this cruise on a small ship is one of the best ways to get the most out of your Seychelles holiday. It can be booked as a stand alone holiday, or combined with other elements. Take a look at The Seychelles on our website to see some of our suggested itineraries.

Out on safari, your ranger will be a fountain of knowledge. They go through rigorous training to qualify as a guide, but for many, the knowledge they possess is the result of growing up in amongst the nature they strive to share with the rest of the world. Full of fascinating facts and an impressive understanding of the bush, great rangers make an awe-inspiring safari that much better. From the smallest of creatures to the largest, they will make it all captivating.

Arguably the best way to have dinner on safari is in a traditional boma. Historically used as protective barriers to keep livestock safe from predators overnight. The concept of a boma has evolved over time, and today serves as an outdoor dining area on a safari, perfect for community eating and to mimic the traditional bush experience. The ambience is enhanced by the soft glow of lanterns or a crackling bonfire, creating an intimate and enchanting setting to connect with nature and fellow travelers.

The zebra migration in Botswana is a remarkable natural phenomenon that captures the attention of wildlife enthusiasts from around the world. Each year, thousands of zebras embark on a challenging journey across the vast plains of Botswana, creating a breathtaking spectacle. Driven by their instinctual quest for fresh grazing and water, thousands of zebras move together in a synchronised manner across vast plains and river, all the while avoiding the keen predators tracking them.

The zebra migration in Botswana is a testament to the marvels of the natural world, and there is nowhere better to experience them than Botswana and surroundings. See our website for more information about this remarkable destination.
