19 years ago I bought a lot of khaki and started one of the best experiences of my life. 😊

6 months Safari Guide training with an incredible group of people, being taught by amazing teachers and being completely engrossed in the natural world.

I could not be more grateful for having had this experience and little did I know the many adventures it would lead to.

I don't think i would have ever predicted that nearly 20 years on i would still be taking people out in the wilds of Africa.

It's been an incredible year of adventures across Kenya, South Africa & Zambia.
Here's the countdown of my top 5 lodges and camps. ⛺️🌟
Tell me your favourites in the comments 👇

5) Tena Tena Camp, Zambia
An intimate and laid back camp, beautifully built around the natural landscape including chairs built out of tree stumps. Nestled in a remote, game-rich area, the camp provides a perfect balance of luxury and wilderness, with views out to the Luangwa River.

4) Marataba Residence, South Africa
A luxurious, private retreat offering an exclusive safari experience in a breathtaking wilderness setting. With personalised service, elegant accommodations and great game driving experiences its the ideal destination for those looking for a private family or group accommodation.

3) Mwamba Camp, Zambia
A rustic camp beautifully designed with the perfect mix of homely and comfortable with great comfort. Celebrated for its authentic safari atmosphere and incredible proximity to wildlife. With only a few chalets and a focus on walking safaris, it offers an intimate, immersive experience in one of Zambia's most game-rich areas.

2) Noka Camp, South Africa
One of the most luxurious rooms i've stayed in on safari and yet also a great eco-retreat perched dramatically on a cliff overlooking the Palala River. Known for its innovative design, exceptional service, and commitment to conservation, it provides a unique safari experience in a pristine off-the-beaten-path wilderness.

1) Shompole Wilderness, Kenya
One of my all time favourite bush retreats, Shompole offers a truly unique and exclusive safari experience, authentic cultural interactions, incredible wildlife hide and relaxing river tubing. Situated along the Ewaso Ng'iro River, this camp is perfect for those seeking tranquility, personalised service, and a deep connection to nature in a lesser-explored part of Kenya.

Advent Calendar Countdown - Best Experiences of 2024 ✨

Day 1: Baraka the Blind Black Rhino at Ol Pejeta 🦏

Rescued after losing his sight, Baraka the black rhino now lives like a king in a 100 acre natural sanctuary able to roam freely and safely.

If he's feeling hungry, you can be lucky enough to meet him and feed him some snacks while learning his story and supporting the vital work of conserving and protecting the endangered black rhino.

💡Fun Fact:
Did you know that the black rhino has a prehensile upper lip, which acts like a finger, allowing them to grasp twigs and leaves while feeding. 🍃

⛺️Looking for somewhere to stay in Ol Pejeta?
We stayed at the beautiful Porini Rhino Camp by Gamewatchers Safaris & Porini Camps

Sometimes you just don’t feel like having your picture taken.. 📸🦌

The start of our epic 3 hike across the Loita hills with the fabulous Maasai Trails team whose families have lived amongst them for centuries.

Ahead of us a challenging but rewarding journey through the “Forest of the Lost Child” and onto the incredible scenic views.

Along the way we had an encounter with a buffalo where we saw the Maasai warriors at their finest tracking and ensuring the safety of both animal and people, learnt so many medicinal uses of plants, heard about Maasai culture and let go of control as we were led along elephant tracks and down sometimes difficult terrain all while being incredibly well catered for and looked after by the amazing Maasai team.

What a journey and what memories.
Plenty of photos to come.

Our beautiful leopard in the Maasai Mara 🐆

We followed this girl for a couple of days, she had killed a Thompsons Gazelle and taken it into a tree so stayed between there and the nearby bush riverine.

Such a joy to spend some time with this elusive cat.

And we’re off!! ✈️

Walking Wild Kenya 2024 begins with our private charter flight to the Maasai Mara.
Can’t wait to see what incredible wildlife wonders the Mara will gift us with on this trip.

My favourite pastime is watching these wonderful animals in the wild.
This beautiful pair were striding along in South Luangwa National Park, Zambia. 🇿🇲

In 4 days I’ll be heading out to the Maasai Mara and hopefully sat watching these wonderful animals again 😍

Did you know that elephants are actually walking on their tiptoes? 🐘✨

Despite their massive size, elephants are digitigrade - meaning they walk on their toes, just like cats and dogs!

What appears to be a big, round foot is actually a thick cushion of fatty, fibrous tissue beneath their toes, which helps absorb the impact of each step.

This natural shock absorber allows these gentle giants to move almost silently through the wild. 🌿

Up close and personal with orphaned elephants at the amazing in Nairobi 🐘

Watching these babies enjoy their milk bottles is both heartwarming and heartbreaking that they aren’t able to feed off their mother’s milk. 🍼

Thank goodness for the incredible keepers who love and care for them so attentively.
Each bottle brings them closer to a wilder future 🌿💚

I do love it when Facebook shows you some long forgotten memories..! 🍃💦
15 years ago exploring the dried up river while working at Elerai Camp just outside Amboseli National Park, Kenya.
Still exploring and 15 years on.
