A moment of zen…Floating down a channel off the Zambezi river with the sounds of birds, and the water splashing off our canoes, our epic guides avoiding the hippos and crocodiles, and then to come across a family of elephants coming for a sip of water. It was my first time seeing an elephant from that perspective and in that context and it was glorious!
This is what makes safari so special, you just never know what surprises nature has for you!
PS. Zambia doesn’t require PCR tests, so you can like, literally pack up and go right now! ☺️

A video we took while in Timbavati of a huge male simba marking his territory. The trackers at the front of the vehicle have nerves of steel...

Here's some short video footage of the elephant behaviour detailed in the previous post. Turn up the volume!
I only caught a few seconds of the matriarch and another adult female coming in to reunite with their family, but you can clearly see the urgency with which they rejoined.
Looking at the footage, I notice one lactating female and her young baby in the stressed group, whom I presume is a daughter of the matriarch. The abnormal left tusk on the largest cow, growing down and backwards, makes for an obvious identification clue. Perhaps @amboseli_trust can help us figure out who the family is?

Here is something only @lewa_wildlife can deliver! Taken while on safari last year, we got to watch a white rhino and his baby chase away a herd of elephant. 😂 We will be spending part of our Friends and Family Safari here in May! •

Sound on for this one! Oh what I would have done to have been there to witness this. To hear the thunderous roars, to see that raw power.

It happened! Like anticipated, the four Rekero Males, caught an intruding young male lion inside their territory! Lions are extremely territorial, and they don’t tolerate strangers within..., amazing footage by #naboishocamp safari Guide Benjamin Kisemei, thank you for sharing! #naboishocamp #asiliaafrica #malelion #lionfight #naboishoconservancy #kenya #masaimara
Today is a special day for the rangers who dedicate and risk their lives each and every day to protect our wildlife and our land. Not just in Africa but around the world. Especially at a time we need it most. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!

World Ranger Day is celebrated worldwide to commemorate rangers killed or injured in the line of duty and to celebrate the work rangers do to protect the planets natural treasures and cultural heritage.
Support rangers this World Ranger Day - donate to @game_rangers_international or @thingreenlinefoundation, share this post, talk about it. Lives have been lost protecting our megafauna - and it is thanks to these men and women in many ways that species like elephants are not yet extinct. #worldrangerday #standwiththeworldsrangers #conservation #humanwildlifeconflict #antipoaching
#tbt to the Okavango where having a picnic breakfast on a boat with some hippo is just life. 😎#Botswana #greatplains #selindacamp #selinda #wanderafrica #okavango #boat #river #hippos #picnicbreakfast #breakfast
Learning how to fish in the Okavango Delta as the sun sets. Didn’t catch anything, but it was still immense fun ☺️ #fishing #okavango #delta #lake #river #delta #adventure #wanderafrica
The Land Cruiser’s of the Okavango Delta area are beasts. They are modified with snorkels and ride higher than the standard safari land cruisers. Water levels can reach above the hood (bonnet) of the vehicle and your feet can get a little wet! So, in addition to the rough terrain, they also have to deal with powering through deep waterways and flooded roads! So much fun! #landcruiser #toyota #okavangodelta #okavango
A time-lapse of our early morning tea and coffee break during our game drive with Lion Sands Ivory Lodge @lionsandsgamereserve - rule #1 of being on safari: NEVER miss a game drive!
We got to be apart of this beautiful and exclusive morning today at @tablemountainca ! Thank you @escapeexplore & @weareafricatravel ! It’s been an unforgettable week to further deepen and expand our relationships throughout our favorite places in Africa! 🌍🍾✈️ 🌄 #tablemountain #sunrise #africatravel #southafrica #safari #honeymoon with Brandi Parmar 🧡💕
Thankful for all the people in my life and those working toward saving our wildlife, and protecting our lands so we can enjoy moments like this! #wanderafrica #thanksgiving
Thanks to @andreas.fox legendary guiding skills and experience, we got lucky enough to experience this encounter. Elephants in front/below us, Buffalo to our right, and a white rhino behind us! Only at Borana! #wanderafrica #thisisafrica
Two things I have always wanted to do:... 1: Take a helicopter ride.
2: See the Victoria Falls
Today, I got to do both! Flew over the Zambezi, saw 30+ elephants on the river banks, and a few in the middle of the river! #wanderafrica #victoriafalls #zimbabwe
#tbt to this incredible experience while on a private walk guided by @roelofschutte #wanderafrica
Lesson learned...watch your back when trying to steal a lion's meal! 😂 Beyond the sound of the wind a loud "oh f**k" can be heard from the Hyena! #wanderafrica
