One of the most rare, precious gifts one can witness on safari, the birth of new life. This extraordinary moment was captured right outside of Jamala Madikwe, Royal Safari Lodge in South Africa. In the tender moments that followed the birth, elephants gathered around the newest member of the herd as the young calf took its first wobbly steps.These moments of wild awe create profound shifts in the human psyche, reconnecting us to that tender place within each of our hearts.

Zimbabwe is home to some of Africa’s most magnificent wilderness and a spectacular array of wildlife. The kindness of locals will set your Zimbabwean experience apart from any other travel in Africa.

In the words of the celebrated author and dear friend of ROAR AFRICA, Alexandra Fuller:

“My trip with ROAR AFRICA to Zimbabwe was beyond incredible. Deb is a genius: Talk about a magical trip, in every way. With the minimum of fuss, she seamlessly curated a full soul experience. From stunning wildlife, to incredible camps, to truly inspiring village visits, and oh oh oh the people, my people–how I have missed the grace, hospitality and warmth of the land and people that raised me. Our ROAR AFRICA guide, Humphrey Gumpo, was wonderful; deeply knowledgeable, impressively competent, and infectiously joyful. I was smitten by the whole trip; a life-changing experience, and profoundly healing. It reminded me why I feel so Zimbabwean in my bones, blood and soul.”

The Journey to the Summit - Dec 1-9, 2024

Comment KILIMANJARO below to learn more about ROAR AFRICA’s climb-of-a lifetime to Africa’s tallest peak!
 
Mount Kilimanjaro, the largest freestanding mountain in the world, is one of the icons of Africa. Its cloud-covered peaks soar above Tanzania’s golden plains, a sentinel of the forest and savannah tapestry below. To summit this majestic mountain and stand on the ‘Roof of Africa’ is the pinnacle of experiential travel on the continent – and it’s surprisingly achievable if you hold a moderate level of fitness. One cannot put into words the feeling of accomplishment, awe even, on reaching the top; the zenith of an exhilarating and profound personal journey you’ll hold in your heart forever.
 
Our Journey to the Summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, taking place December 1-9, 2024, in Tanzania is the ideal trip for anyone, including families, with a sense of adventure and determination. Led by Oliver Browne, a world-renowned expert mountaineer and adventurer with countless successful Kilimanjaro summits to his name, you will be guided with sensitivity and care every step of the way and wrapped in love from the moment you land in Africa.

As with any expedition, it is entirely natural to be worried about the demands of the endeavour; however, there is a profound mindset shift that comes with deciding to push past your norm. As you know, ROAR AFRICA curates each and every journey to meticulous standards with a level of care and attention to detail that surpasses expectations. This journey is no exception. You will sleep comfortably in soft cots, dine on excellent, nutritious food cooked by a top-tier chef who caters to every diet and be in the company of an ample team of porters. Post-summit, Tropic Air helicopters will glide you back down to Legendary Lodge, a supremely comfortable oasis for two days of rest, reflection and contemplation.

In the words of Oliver, “climbing Kilimanjaro is one of the best things you can do in your lifetime, if not the best thing.”

A journey to Namibia offers solitude and silence amidst incredible landscapes, geology, rock-art and unmatched stargazing.

The sweeping dunes of the Namib Desert undulate along the coastline in an amber cascade like no other. Witnessing miles of golden sands meeting the sapphire sea is truly breathtaking. 

There’s no better way to take in the sights of this safari destination than from above. An intimate hot air balloon ride invites you to view the unique salt pans as the birds do. A scenic coastal flight allows you to fully appreciate the pristine coastline. 

There are also ample opportunities for wildlife viewing to appreciate the desert-adapted animals that call this country home.

Experience an unforgettable Christmas in the Mara this December

Africa is a continent of extraordinary destinations. The Maasai Mara in particular is iconic; a rich tapestry of culture and abundant wildlife and a place of connection where the plains offer the scarcity of freedom, space and silence. The spirit of the Maasai people breathe life into the land, their vibrant red and blue shukas, dancing, humming, jumping, cosseting you in warmth and absolute joy. And what a joy it is to enjoy the holidays somewhere as different as this, alongside crackling African bushfires, blood red sunsets and a night sky that twinkles so bright.

This holiday season, we invite you to embrace a transformative journey with your loved ones to , a spectacular lodge in the heart of the Mara Triangle. In a rare opportunity, the exquisite Loirien Villa has become available from December 24 to 29, 2024, with three beautifully-appointed bedrooms and seamless indoor-outdoor spaces providing ample room for six guests.

Each carefully-curated moment at Loirien Mara embraces the heart of the Maasai Mara, allowing you space to breathe and absorb the infectious energy of this sacred landscape. From hot-air ballooning across the savannah and spotting the Mara’s iconic wildlife on game drives, to exploring on foot, you are completely in step with your environment.

As the modern world has grown increasingly disconnected from the earth, ROAR AFRICA journeys are designed to restore the vital relationship between humans and the wild. We are thrilled to invite you to join us on an epic adventure to the “roof of Africa” this Dec 1-9. This journey will energize, enliven and inspire you in a way that simply cannot be put into words!

The Journey to the Summit is the Mt Kilimanjaro climb of a lifetime led by a team of worldclass guides. In this utterly unique ROAR AFRICA experience, guests will be provided with the best possible sleeping arrangements, excellent chef-cooked food, ample porters, and a highly experienced doctor with us every step of the way for your comfort and peace of mind. To take this extroardinary adventure to an entirely new level, you will be transported off the mountain by Tropic Air helicopters to a soft, luxurious landing at the beautiful Legendary Lodge in Arusha, a working coffee plantation.

This year holds particular significance as it marks the 135th annivesary of the very first recorded summit by German geographer, Hans Meyer and Austrian mountaineer, Ludwig Purtscheller. ROAR AFRICA’s journey to the summit is not merely a physical challenge; it’s a chance to honor the legacy of exploration, perseverance, and the pursuit of the extraordinary. Standing at Uhuru Peak on this historic anniversary will be a tribute to human resilience and a reminder of our shared ability to transcend limits and reach new heights.

After 18 years of changing lives through safaris across our home continent, we know nature is our greatest source of freedom and joy. To summit this peak, either solo, with friends or with your loved ones in tow, is the pinnacle of experiential travel in Africa. This trip will be unlike anything you have ever done before.

While Kilimanjaro is the largest freestanding mountain in the world, Tanzania’s iconic peak is also one of the more accessible mountain climbs, which we will ascend, slowly and thoughtfully via the spectacularly beautiful Machame Route, led by world-class mountaineer and adventurer Oliver Browne and ROAR AFRICA.

The duration of the trek is intentional, allowing guests to embark on this adrenalizing adventure at their own pace, with one guide per person and all the thoughtful luxuries signature to ROAR AFRICA. You’ll sleep comfortably and dine on excellent food cooked by a top-tier chef who caters to every diet. You’ll glide down the mountain post-summit in a Tropic Air helicopter to a soft, luxurious landing at the beautiful Legendary Lodge in Arusha, a working coffee plantation.

Namibia’s harsh beauty and unforgiving terrain stirs something deep within the human spirit.

There is an incredible sense of timelessness one feels in the vast expanse of the Namib Desert, where towering dunes shift in the wind and the arid earth cracks beneath the relentless sun.

With just 2.4 million inhabitants spread across twice the size of California, peaceful isolation is abundant.
