These giraffes are play fighting, a behavior called necking, where males test their strength and practice dominance. While this may seem harmless, when giraffes fight for real, it can become dangerous and even fatal as they use their powerful necks and heads as weapons.

This Has To Be The Best Budget Safari Experience
In a prime location, Thawale overlooks a waterhole that regularly attracts a wide variety of wildlife, including a family of elephants that often frequent the area. The lodge is completely unfenced to give guests a natural safari experience. One of the guides is among the top birders in the region, making it a paradise for bird lovers, especially during the summer months.
The camp sits at the gateway to Majete Wildlife Reserve and is managed by African Parks, an organization dedicated to conservation and community development.
What makes Thawale even more special is that 100% of the camp’s revenue goes directly back into the reserve and local communities, helping to protect wildlife and support sustainable tourism.
Sitting outside and watching elephants gather at the waterhole feels like stepping into a wildlife documentary – but at a fraction of the cost you’d pay elsewhere.
Thawale is proof that you don’t need luxury to have an extraordinary safari experience.

Luxury and Wildlife Collide at Kuthengo Camp, Malawi
Kuthengo Camp in Liwonde National Park, Malawi, is a hidden gem for those seeking luxury, tranquility, and incredible wildlife experiences without the crowds.
Nestled along the Shire River, this camp offers stunning game drives, walking safaris, and peaceful boat cruises. The isolation adds to its magic – it’s just you, nature, and unforgettable moments.
African Parks has transformed Liwonde into a thriving conservation success story, protecting endangered species and restoring the park’s natural balance. Kuthengo Camp blends this conservation mission with top-tier hospitality – thanks to hosts Mike, Jen, and their amazing team who ensured I was well taken care of, even with my vegan diet. Plus, the luxury experience here comes at half the price of most safari destinations.
I would recommend Kuthengo Camp for seasoned safari travelers looking for something different, couples seeking sustainable and intimate travel experiences, and anyone wanting to escape mass tourism and reconnect with nature.
Thinking of planning your next safari? I would love to help you craft an unforgettable experience at Kuthengo Camp or other incredible destinations. Reach out, and let’s start planning your adventure into the wild.

In Naboisho Conservancy, we came across a sleeping herd of elephants, we were the only vehicle in their presence and this is not something I have ever witnessed. We sat silently in the vehicle directly in front of them as they slept. They eventually woke up and left.
Exploring Africa's untamed beauty over the years has been more than a journey - it's become a way of life. From tracking elusive predators on the plains of Kenya to witnessing breathtaking sunsets in Zambia, each adventure deepens my passion for African tourism and conservation. There's no greater thrill than sharing these unforgettable experiences while advocating for the protection of wildlife and wild places.

During my stay at House in the Wild, I set up a camera trap outside my room, not expecting much. To my surprise, in just a few hours, the camera captured a pride of lions, hyenas, and warthogs walking right past my room! The camp has no fences, but the guides walk you to and from your room when it's dark. (the time and date are wrong)

It’s the only place in Malawi where you can spot giraffes and African wild dogs. Majete also boasts the highest concentration of predators in the country, including hyenas, cheetahs, leopards, and lions.
And since it is off the tourist circuit, you won't see a lot of tourists.
