On World Ocean Day 2024, we reflect on this year’s theme: Catalyzing Action for Our Ocean & Climate. The oceans are the lifeblood of our planet, brimming with unparalleled biodiversity. We stand at a pivotal moment for oceanic conservation and our collective action today shapes the tides of tomorrow.

World Ocean Day Organization says, “By growing the movement through transformative collaboration, we aim to create not only a healthy blue planet, but also a more just, equitable and sustainable society” and lays out a few ways we can do so. A few include:

• accelerate a just transition to clean and renewable energy;
• rapidly and equitably phase out its existing production including for single use plastics;
• collaborate with and amplify the voices of local leaders who are working to implement action within their communities;
• protect and restore natural coastal and ocean ecosystems (and on land) by creating strongly protected areas covering at least 30% of our lands and waters by 2030;

Victoria Falls, one of the most iconic natural wonders in the world, offers various ways to explore its beauty. From walking tours and hikes along paths with plenty of lookout points, to awe-inspiring scenic helicopter flights. If you crave a bit more adventure, ziplining and bungee jumping are available at different locations around the Zambezi River! Or even take a dip in “Devil’s Pool” - a natural infinity pool located on the edge of Victoria Falls. Situated on the Zambian side of the falls, this unique attraction offers visitors the exhilarating opportunity to swim right up to the precipice of the waterfall during the dry season, when water levels are low, allowing brave souls to peer over the edge and gaze down at the mighty falls! Dry season is captured here as this photo was taken in mid-October – the falls are still breathtaking here, but just imagine Victoria Falls at its full capacity in green season!

Happy birthday to South African wine! South Africa is the only country in the world that knows exactly when it’s very first bottle of wine was made - 2nd February 1659. Yes, you read that right, 365 years ago!!! Many of our travelers have opted in for a Cape Winelands tour during their stay in South Africa. They sip their way through the beautiful vineyards – where each glass tells a story of the rich terroir and fascinating history of the land! Have you been? Tell us about your favorite South African winery!

Keep your eyes out while you’re on the water in Africa – whether it’s by boat cruise, canoe safari, or mokoro ride – you’re likely to spot a hippo (or a pod of hippos as pictured here!) while you’re floating along! Did you know a herd of hippos can also be referred to as a “bloat”? Photo taken at Rekero Camp, located in Kenya’s Maasai Mara.

Those who have witnessed an African sunset understand they are unlike anything else. Will you experience the extraordinary this year? Photo taken during a walking safari at Selinda Explorers Camp, located in the Okavango Delta, Botswana.

When you’re on a safari, observing your guide’s expertise is an adventure all on its own! Their ability to read the wild’s subtle signs takes you on an adventure of discovery, guiding you through nature’s hidden stories one track at a time. Photo taken on an early morning game drive at Selinda Explorers in Botswana, where two expert guides were taking our travelers on a mission to find a pride of lions. Check out those prints in the sand!🐾

Luxury or Adventure Camps? ⛺️ When planning your African safari adventure, there are many factors to consider while tailoring your trip specifically to you! One of these considerations is understanding whether you prefer an adventure camp or a luxury camp (or a combination of both!). Adventure, or expedition-style camps provide a more rugged and immersive experience, where the typical accommodations are tented camps. Make no mistake though, these tented camps are still beautiful, comfortable, and provide a high-quality experience! Luxury camps, on the other hand, are still immersive experiences, yes, but are often preferred by travelers who value more infrastructure (think… walls and platforms) and want to prioritize a more lavish experience alongside the wildness of safari. Both are wonderful and unique ways to see Africa. The choice between the two depends on how you envision your unique safari adventure!

📝: Respect the environment💚 The essence of safari is to promote conservation, through an up-close look at the incredible wildlife that roams the land and experiencing Africa in its entirety. Follow the principles of "Leave No Trace,” don't litter, stay on designated paths, and avoid disturbing the natural habitat. If you’re not sure, feel free to ask your safari guide, who is a highly trained and skilled naturalist!

While on safari, have you ever viewed wildlife from a hide? A hide is a small structure in a natural area, concealed and often camouflaged - sometimes even built below the ground’s surface - to provide observers with a safe and discreet view of the local wildlife. Hides are strategically placed near watering holes, feeding areas or other locations where animals are likely to gather. A thrilling way to observe the animals that roam near your camp without being noticed!

With their untamed elegance and regal grace, lions are no doubt one of the most iconic residents of the African savannah. Witnessing the majesty of these big cats reminds us of the awe-inspiring beauty that exists within the animal kingdom, and signals to us that we must ensure their protection. Lion populations have been declining in many parts of Africa due to various threats, including habitat loss, human-wildlife conflict, poaching, and depletion of prey. On , let’s unite in our admiration and dedicate ourselves to ensuring their prosperity. Do you have a special memory of a lion sighting on safari? Share it with us in the comments!

Knowledgeable birders may know this… do you? Pictured here is the Lilac-breasted roller - Kenya’s national bird! The strikingly beautiful bird is said to be chosen to represent Kenya for its array of differently colored feathers, which can be thought of as symbolizing the numerous tribes across the country. 💜💙🧡 Lilac-breasted rollers are commonly found throughout East and Southern Africa, and you’re sure to see them while on safari.

Today is World Giraffe Day! These stunning creatures are aptly called “towers” when in a herd and are also referred to as a “journey” when they are walking. Giraffes are social animals and roam together typically in numbers of around 15 and are led by a male. Did you know that giraffes can survive for 2-3 days without drinking water? They can do this because they get their water from their food and dew on plants. Fascinating animals indeed! For giraffe lovers visiting Kenya, a stop at Giraffe Centre, or a stay at Giraffe Manor, is a wonderful way to get close to these gentle giants. Join us today in celebrating Africa’s beloved giraffes!

With 6,000 km of coastline, lush forests full of fascinating creatures, and gorgeous tropical weather, Madagascar should be on everyone’s bucket list! 🤩 With a wide range of activities, travelers can decide if they’d like to have a laid-back beach vacation or an exciting adventure. Madagascar is home to lemurs; brilliantly colored geckos and chameleons; 🦎 tenrecs, spiny hedgehog-like tenrecs; and the fossa, a carnivorous animal that looks like a cross between a puma and a dog but is closely related to the mongoose. More incredible sights to see include the Avenue of Baobabs, the Tsingy Forest, Ankarafantsika National Park (containing eight species of lemur!) and more. You never know what you might see on this incredible island! 🏝

There is a phrase in Zulu, “Hamba Kahle” which translates in English to “Go Well”. This is a phrase people often use when telling someone farewell or goodbye, either to those about to embark on a journey, head home, or to loved ones who have passed on 🤍

Travel Tip Tuesday 📝🌍 Safari guides in Africa are incredibly experienced and knowledgeable, and because they are typically from the local area, they are deeply familiar with the terrain and wildlife. They will answer your questions, accommodate any special interests, assist with photography, and keep you safe. Listening to your guides’ instructions is essential to having the most enjoyable experience. Beyond knowledge of wildlife, their skills are wide ranging - from mechanical expertise to first aid, from understanding the needs of all age groups to dealing with foreign accents, to serving sundowners with care and often flair. Prior to 2004, it was almost unheard of to have a female guide, but today, women guides are increasing in number and bringing new skills to their guests! Always listen to your guide and you will have the best experience on your safari 🐘🦒🦏🐆🦛

National Park Spotlight: Tarangire National Park -
One of the most beautiful national parks in Tanzania, Tarangire National Park, is a fairly short drive from Arusha, and closely located to Lake Manyara National Park. Its name comes from the Tarangire River, which crosses through the park, and is a primary source of water for wildlife. Some wildlife you may encounter on your safari in Tarangire: elephants, antelopes, gazelles, buffaloes, lions, zebras, warthogs, and many more! Tarangire National Parks is also known to have spectacular bird watching, especially in the green season when migratory birds display their colorful plumage!

An astonishing herd of elephants spotted in Kidepo Valley National Park in Uganda. As many of us know, elephants display compassion and emotion, much like humans do. They fiercely protect their young, they support one another, especially if one is ailed or vulnerable, and they even play and socialize with each other often. To witness these beautiful animals and their interactions with each other is truly life changing.
