Did you know there are four different species of giraffe and that they are distinguished by their patchwork? Not only that, but each pattern is also unique to every individual animal! Just like human fingerprints.

Frankie’s unbelievable wildlife encounters in the Mashatu Game Reserve continued over the next few days. Of particular note was finding a cheetah coalition who’d taken down an impala. Soon enough hyenas appeared and claimed the dinner as their own!

#Worldsafariday
We are excited to celebrate the second annual #Worldsafariday!! There is much to be thankful for today, but especially we celebrate the incredible wildlife, people, experiences, and culture which make each day on safari better than the last.
Safaris allow us to experience and support Africa - our passion - which we love to share with you, our wonderful and intrepid travelers. Beyond the incredible wildlife and wide-open spaces, it’s the people who we meet along the way, the guides, rangers, conservationists, local community members, who leave us with lasting impressions and desire to travel more.
Happy World Safari Day! How are you celebrating?
Behold: the magnificent Victoria Falls at their finest! The falls typically reach peak water flow in April and it looks like this year will be no exception. The locals refer to the falls as "mosi-oa-tunya," meaning "the smoke that thunders". #wondersoftheworld #Africa #explore #exploremore #Zimbabwe #Zambia #VictoriaFalls
