Meet The Team Behind Your Safari: Joe Corder

ROLE: Specialist Safari Consultant

WHAT I LOVE ABOUT MY JOB: Working with clients to build exceptional safaris that they will remember forever. As well as the travel, of course!

FAVOURITE EXPERIENCE IN AFRICA: Walking in Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 - getting out on foot and immersing yourself in the bush. The guides in Zim are some of the best in Africa, so seeing how they interpret the wilderness is very special indeed. Nothing gets the blood pumping more than getting up close to big game outside of the vehicle.

PLACE I MOST LOOK FORWARD TO GOING TO: I’m lucky enough to have travelled to 14 different countries in Africa but the place that holds my heart is Zambia 🇿🇲

📍 Ready to plan your next trip to Africa? Joe’s got you covered!

It was fantastic to be back on the Kenya coast last week, exploring the well known beach areas of Diani and Watamu, especially as the weather was wonderful and my wife Jane joined me so there was no need for those 'dinner for one' evenings. From larger resorts to boutique hotels and private villas, the Kenya coast has a huge amount to offer, including wonderful coastal scenery, some charismatic wildlife (monkeys!), lovely birding and all the usual marine activities (fishing, snorkelling, scuba diving, wind-surfing, kite-surfing, reef exploration, sunset dhow cruises and if you are very lucky, turtle watching). Highlights included a gorgeous lunch at the stunning Alfajiri Villas, lovely, friendly service at several places including Kinondo Kwetu, Waterlovers and the quirky Maje Boutique Hotel, and a great fun sunset cruise on the Hemingways Dhow at Mida Creek, near Watamu. Kenya is best known for incredible wildlife safaris, but for for those who have time, a few days on the coast afterwards is highly recommended!

“Safari Spirit – The People Behind Your Experience in the Conservancies of Kenya’s Masai Mara.

Peppered across the heart of Kenya’s Masai Mara region lie a number of private conservancies each run in partnership between the local Maasai landowners who lease their land to safari companies to protect wildlife and the land, while also providing economic benefits to the local community.

The first conservancy was founded in 2005, and 20 years on we see a world where luxury meets sustainability, and community spirit thrives. Like so often in the safari industry it is the people behind these safari camps with their warmth, professionalism and dedication who make the safari experience extraordinary. From fine dining to expert guiding, these camps are made by their people – warmly delivering a “hard to beat”, level of personal service, all while preserving the delicate ecosystem and empowering the local communities from which they hail.”

🌿 Take a Beat. Gain Perspective. 🌿

Sometimes, all you need is a step back—to disconnect from the noise of modern life and reconnect with what truly matters.

Imagine walking through the untamed beauty of Northern Tanzania, where every footstep brings you closer to nature, to Africa, and to yourself.

A serene walking safari isn’t just about wildlife; it’s about presence, perspective, and the humbling experience of being part of something greater.

🦓💚Celebrating International Zebra Day!💚🦓

Today, we champion one of nature’s most iconic striped wonders - the zebra! From their dazzling black-and-white patterns to their essential role in ecosystems, zebras are a reminder of the beauty and diversity of wildlife.

But zebras face challenges like habitat loss and poaching, particularly the most endangered Grevy’s zebra. It’s a day to especially thank all the conservation efforts helping to protect these increadible creatures and ensure wild herds continue to thrive. 👏

Like this post and share with someone who loves seeing zebras roaming across Africa’s plains.

Thanks to our clients Hugh Pile, Brian Pain and Peter Corder as well as own Michele and Joe for these extraordinary photos from their travels. ❤️🦓

We always look forward to new photographic shares by the incredible .

Look at these for feeling part of the herd! Aren’t elephants the most majestic creatures? They have such a high level of emotional intellegence that is so humbling and we love it when special moments are captured so perfectly on film.

To all photographers and videographers out there, thank you for sharing your art and we’re honoured to help some of you on your journey in making it.

👍 Give us a follow for more inspiration and ideas to go on your own incredible safari.

Thanks to the amazing conservation and protection efforts across East and Southern Africa, elephant populations are looking more and more positive and, in some areas, we are now seeing elephants herds who are a little more relaxed around humans thanks to new generations with little or no memory of horrific poaching.

Whilst you can have amazing wildlife experiences in so many places, read our blog about the best places to go on safari in Africa to see elephants.

Okavango Aerial Adventures

The Okavango Delta in northern Botswana is quite possibly one of the most beautiful environments on our planet. Teeming with iconic wildlife species, the landscape of rivers, lagoons, floodplains, permanent swamps, forested islands, open grassland and mixed woodlands is as close to the ‘Garden of Eden’ as you are likely to find, and seen from the air it is breath-taking.

Moving around this vast landscape usually require travelling by air, and this will naturally provide awe-inspiring views of the unbelievably flat terrain, with chances to see wildlife such as elephants, buffalo and giraffe as you pass overhead.

But for a really special experience, book a dedicated ‘doors off’ scenic flight with local operator Helicopter Horizons, which allows you to focus more on spotting animals and flying along the most beautiful stretches of the delta. Early morning is the best time, while animals are still active, on a recent trip to the delta I was fortunate to spot wild dogs hunting and a leopard drinking in addition to the easier to spot elephants, giraffes and buffalo!

Here are a few images from my recent trip, from the dry southern edge of the delta through to the permanent channels in the north. You can see some footage from my recent aerial adventures within a short film of my trip – One Week in the Okavango. Rob.

What a pleasure to spend 4 days recently on a small group educational to the wonderfully exclusive and refreshing Karangoma Camp and Kweene Trails in Botswana’s Okavango Delta. ��

You can’t go far wrong visiting the stunning Okavango Delta, but even in this most exclusive of safari destinations, both Karangoma and Kweene Trails were able to impress, offering a genuine escape into the wild, far from other tourists. The trip was expertly hosted by Chris from Wild Expeditions Africa and Simon from Beagle Expeditions, and our small group was fun and relaxed, with everyone able to appreciate the true beauty of the wilderness. We witnessed some incredible scenes and lovely wildlife moments, whether from a vehicle, on foot, in a mekoro or from a ‘doors off’ helicopter.

The sunsets were magical, the drinks were cold and conversation flowed…………while the animals moved quietly around us in this wildest of settings. Whilst Karangoma offered the comforts of a permanent tented camp, Kweene Trails was a little more adventurous in style and it was such a pleasure to experience.

Simple safari things, like having a morning cuppa around the camp fire, marvelling at the dramatic night sky and falling asleep to the melodic call of a Scops owl, all reminded me what really is so special about safari. It is an escape into nature, a journey into the wild, and a reprieve for our souls. Many thanks to Chris, Simon and all my group comrades for a wonderful few days in one of Africa’s most special places. Rob.

Michele trekked with chimpanzees in the fairy-tale Mahale Mountains in Tanzania, one of the most beautiful and magical places in Africa to visit.

Taking a picturesque journey that is not for the faint hearted, you’re rewarded with a flight over the Serengeti before reaching the remote forested slopes that tumble into the turquoise waters of Lake Tanganyika.

Find out everything you need to know about trekking with chimpanzees in Michele’s blog about her once in a lifetime experience.

We love hearing from our clients when they return home, especially when they share some of their fabulous photos with us.

Here, sharing a few words and some of their epic photographs from Linda and Brian after their trip to Kenya in September.

“In summary, it was absolutely amazing - totally exceeding our expectations. Everything ran really smoothly, showing how thorough Mary from Safari Consultants had been.

Here are some of our favourite photos from the 7,500 we have!

We return to normal life with the fondest of memories of our trip. Thank you, once again, for the perfect job you did in organising everything for us.”
