Serving up a selection of mouth watering food prepared by three of Southern Africa's top chefs sure can make a girl homesick.

It was a culinary treat to have not one but three Chefs from preparing dishes in London last night. Each bringing their own flair and flavour to the table - as well as their huge smiles and enthusiasm. Rooibos infused cod, Durban curries and ostrich... Along with superb service, genuine warmth, and attention to every detail - you are always assured of extraordinarily good food when staying at any of the lodges or hotels.

It’s no secret Lankester White team are all avid birders and our favorite bird species to talk about and help protect are vultures- here photographed is a White Backed Vulture that I took in Zimbabwe this very morning. Anyone wanting to know how to help these vulnerable birds should look to the Endangered Wildlife Trust or the Victoria Falls Wildlife Trust who are both doing amazing work in conservation in Southern Africa.

It is in fact the Global Birding Weekend this weekend and today is the Big Birding Count- so we hope all you birders are out there today counting your species like proper twitchers! If you don’t have an app to help you we recommend the BirdPro as the top Southern African bird app currently available.

Jo is in fact in Zimbabwe right now adding to her list as I type this so good luck to her!

Practise makes perfect when photographing an African sunset. How good of nature to provide the opportunity every 24 hours - so everyone gets a chance.
Amongst the many things we love about a multi generational safari:
Time together. Laughs together. Sharing sightings. New adventures for young and old... and the opportunity for sharing skills and maybe being able to borrow that fancy camera equipment 📷 📷
Thanks for your advice and cameras.

Private bush villas and exclusive use camps are perfect for ensuring there is space enough for everyone to relax. As well as all having a chance to click away at the sunset.

CONGRATULATIONS and his talented team for winning not only a gold medal Chelsea Flower Show, but also Best in Pavilion and best new Design. What a hatrick. His innovative design showcases the flowers against a clay mountain range - as they grow in the Cape in South Africa. After a four year absence from Chelsea, Leon and the team have come in once again proving SA is brimming with talent.
Leon and I first met many years ago as volunteers helping to build the SA stand at Chelsea - so yes, possibly shed a tear when I saw him at the stand.

It’s spectacular and not to be missed if visiting Chelsea over the next few days. No surprise that is a sponsor - innovation, conservation and showcasing the Cape Flora being in their DNA. Visiting should be on everyone’s list when going to South Africa.

Well done to all those involved.

My other highlight was seeing the name of .garden (the best garden designer in the UK) as part of the team for , and . I so excited to see Tania’s name on the board I forgot to take a photo of the actual planting 🙈💐🙈💐🙈

Watching chimps go about their business is a privilege… and if it were not for you, many of these amazing sightings might not have been possible. Happy 90th Birthday, Jane Goodall! You are a true inspiration to us all. I remember sitting in Arusha listening to you talk on the stage platform at my children’s school. I turned to look at them and their faces were completely enraptured by you and your words. They were four and seven at the time but even at that age understood what you have done for the world through your tireless conservation work. My daughter clearly remembers asking you what young chimpanzees do for fun. Your answer was that they love to chase each other around ☺️ I don’t think she will ever forget that.

It is people like yourself that inspired my own career as a guide and my passion for conservation.

Asante sana … Thank you… Dankie

What an honour to meet Propser Uwingeli, Chief Park Warden of Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda.

For most of us, Volcanoes National Park is all about the gorillas. for Prosper it is managing the conservation and research of the great apes. It is overseeing the guides, the trackers and porters. The administration of permits. Overseeing tourist experience and safety. As well as managing local communities living on the borders of the park.

It was truly an honour to meet such a dedicated and knowledgeable conservationist.

Experience We Have to Share

For the most part, travelling to “Africa” means going on safari or finding a remote beach destination. Why is this any different to most people’s travel experience? Because for the most part, unless you are very wealthy, once you are on safari you are where you are. If you have made a mistake about your accommodation and location, you are pretty much stuck where you are. It is not as simple as packing your bags and finding a new hotel or airbnb.

These are the elements that can make or break your safari: Location, the season, your guide, your vehicle, the camp , lodge staff, accommodation, and the logistics. Any one of these can ruin your experience or even worse, put your lives at risk.

We are African. We have lived and worked across Africa. We have the contacts, the insight, and the experience to ensure that your time in Africa affords you the best value for what you are spending. That your experience has been put together with your family or group specifically in mind.

Email or call - we are more than happy to chat through your thoughts and requirements and to help put together your trip of a lifetime.
