🌍💚 Today marks Africa Day, a day to honour the incredible diversity and richness of this magnificent continent. At Crafted Africa, we are immensely proud to be part of the journey to unveil the hidden gems of Africa to the world.

Anyone who has ever visited Africa knows that this continent is brimming with extraordinary treasures, almost impossible to capture in just a few images. This land is a tapestry woven with vibrant cultures, stunning landscapes, and boundless diversity. From the rhythmic beats of traditional music and dance to the rich flavours of its cuisine, Africa’s soul is deeply felt in every corner. The majestic wildlife, the breathtaking flora, and the serene oceans surrounding its coasts create a symphony of nature that is simply unmatched.

Africa is home to a mosaic of people whose stories, traditions, and smiles add to the continent’s richness. The savannahs, deserts, mountains, and rainforests each tell a different story, each as captivating as the last.

At Crafted Africa, we have chosen to highlight the splendor of Malawi 🇲🇼, Zambia 🇿🇲, and Mozambique 🇲🇿 through these photographs. These countries alone are brimming with incredible resources and natural beauty that leave us in perpetual awe. Whether it’s the serene waters of Lake Malawi, the untamed wilderness of Zambia, or the pristine beaches of Mozambique, each destination offers a glimpse into Africa’s heart and soul.

As we commemorate Africa World Day, let us honour and cherish the essence of this extraordinary continent. Let’s continue to explore, protect, and celebrate the richness of Africa, today and every day. ✨🫶

It’s one of the most gorgeous, pristine and private locations…

✨ AZURA BENGUERRA ✨

Imagine an unspoilt island within a Marine National Park, deserted beaches of pure white sand that extend for miles, sparkling turquoise seas criss-crossed by local dhows plying their trade, sunny days and star-studded nights.

This is the enchanting island escape you always imagined! 🌴

“I arrived in style via helicopter and I have to say it was a highlight, the view over the island is absolutely breathtaking. The staff is incredibly welcoming and friendly, the food was absolutely delicious, and the accommodation was luxurious and classy. Topped with one of the most stunning beach locations, Azura Benguerra has it all!” - Mike Varndell

Interesting facts on African Wild Dogs!

Did you know that…?
🥩 The packs have 80% success rate when hunting
🔸 They generally live up to the age of 11
🏎️ They can run up to 70 km/h
👂 They have incredible hearing
🐗 They use abandoned underground warthog and porcupine to give birth in
🐶 Pups are priority over dominant pack members for feeding

Sadly they are endangered and their population is estimated up to 6,600 individuals…

Those ones were captured in South Luangwa National Park, but guess what?! The good news is they are now back in Liwonde National Park as well! 🇲🇼🥳

#PHOTOS4AFRICA: BE AN UNSUNG HERO

📸🌍 #Photos4Africa 🌍📸 How about a beautiful photo on your wall telling an amazing story about how you helped save tourism in AFRICA 🌍 We are launching a campaign #Photos4Africa aimed at trading great photos in exchange for helping those in African Tourism who have been brutally affected by COVID19. We are reaching out to all our partners / friends who care about Africa to offer photos, prints, videos, paintings and tag #Photos4Africa along with your own Go Fund Me page to directly support your staff and your projects. So if you can donate a little something (or as the case may be bid for an amazing photo / beautiful painting or simply anything you would love from Africa) help us help you. Due to travel bans and safety many lodges are closing their doors and have been forced to let go of most of their staff. The impact of COVID19 could be devastating for communities, wildlife and conservation. Maybe reflect back on the MEMORIES of your dream trip to AFRICA. Remember the guide that made your experience as amazing as it was, the barman that shared bush stories while making you an ice cold G&T, the spotter who found your first leopard or the hosts that went above and beyond. These hardworking legends are always the first out of bed and the last to hit the pillow, at the same time they are working for months on the trot away from their friends and families. These are the unsung heros that now find themselves at a loss, with families of their own to feed and shelter. Nobody planned for this disaster and nobody deserves this and here in Africa there are certainly no Govt bailouts. Any support big or small will go soo far. We urge you keep that African dream alive. The sooner you book your next trip the more likely you are to save a job, and will be an unsung hero yourself while planning an epic adventure. The industry as a whole would really appreciate this and there are some great specials on the market at the moment. We hope you enjoy the vid below (turn the
