Thanks to extensive conservation and translocation efforts, the Southern White Rhino population in Kenya has rebounded. Watching this mother and baby munching away on lush green grass was a special treat. Video credit: Carmin Arnot

Wow! Take a look at this video clip sent in by expedition leader Marco Tonoli. Our group was gorilla trekking at Uganda's Bwindi Impenetrable Forest when a silverback moved past them at close range. What an extraordinary moment!

Wetlands are considered one of the most diverse ecosystems on Earth, providing habitat for a great variety of plants and animals, including many threatened and endangered species. And today, we celebrate World Wetlands Day, for the significance of wetlands around the globe in preserving life and combating climate change. One of our favorite places to explore is Brazil’s Pantanal, the world's largest tropical wetlands. From Jaguars and Giant Anteaters, to small herds of Capybaras, these massive wetlands provide a pristine refuge for this iconic wildlife.

A few beautiful images and message from expedition leader Marco Tonoli: "Gorilla trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest was an extraordinary experience. A silverback moved past us at close range, his quiet strength a reminder of the remarkable presence of these animals. Nearby, a group of infants wrestled and tumbled, their interactions offering a glimpse into the social bonds that shape their lives. Moments like these are a testament to the success of conservation efforts in Bwindi, where protection has allowed the Mountain Gorilla population to stabilize and grow. Observing these animals in their natural habitat is a humbling experience."

Another update from expedition leader Marco Tonoli: "Our chimp trek in Uganda's Kibale National Park was an unforgettable experience. We observed the alpha male surrounded by his close-ranking generals, a fascinating glimpse into the social structure of the group. A mating female moved confidently among them, highlighting the dynamics of their interactions, while a playful baby chimp provided endless entertainment with its antics. Walking through the dense forest and witnessing these behaviors up close offered a profound connection to their world—a rare and humbling insight into the lives of these incredible primates."

Wow! Here's a video clip that expedition leader Marco Tonoli took at Uganda's Murchison Falls, the most powerful waterfall in the world! Here, the mighty Victoria Nile squeezes through a mere 22-foot-wide chasm to cascade nearly 120 feet to the rocks below, before flowing out toward Lake Albert. The pressure is so great that the ground trembles around it!

This just in from expedition leader Marco Tonoli — "Our Uganda adventure has begun in the most spectacular way! We were incredibly fortunate to see four Shoebills, one of the rarest and most elusive birds in the world—a true bucket-list moment for any wildlife enthusiast. Adding to the magic, Murchison Falls was at full flow, its thundering cascade a stunning reminder of nature’s raw power and beauty. This trip has already delivered unforgettable moments, and it’s only the beginning!"

One of the highlights of our Tanzania expedition is a full-day exploration of Ngorongoro Crater, one of the world's most spectacular wildlife sanctuaries. Ngorongoro is home to a staggering 30,000 large animals where you can see huge concentrations of Blue Wildebeest and Burchell’s Zebra, along with predators like Lion, Cheetah, and Leopard. You may also be fortunate to see the crater’s famous Giant Tuskers. These male elephants have tusks that are unusually large—in fact they are so long that they can touch the ground when the elephant walks.

In this video, Apex expedition leader Marco Tonoli shows you what it’s like to travel through the Serengeti during the wildebeest migration. Imagine sitting in the Southern Serengeti right in the heart of the greatest migration of terrestrial mammals on our planet, surrounded by hundreds of thousands, if not a million plus wildebeests. Amazing! Video credit: Marco Tonoli

For those of you who have been on safari in Africa, you’ve most likely enjoyed that special time of the day, as the sun is setting over an unbelievably striking landscape. You’ve returned from the afternoon game drive, and it’s time to relax by the camp fire. To reflect. To celebrate the extraordinary events of the day. To share what you’ve witnessed with your eyes and felt in your soul. To listen to the stories of your fellow travelers. To be grateful.

Loved watching as an entire family, one-by-one, climbed down, tip-toed, or leapt from this tree, with the little ones scurrying to catch up! Off to start their day in Kenya's Masai Mara!

We saw movement within the tall grasses not far from our vehicle. We waited and watched closely. Then a Serval emerged into full view. It seemed to detect something in the distance, then carried on seemingly unbothered by our presence. This beautiful, medium-sized cat can be found in the Masai Mara (and throughout sub-Saharan Africa), but you need patience and a bit of luck to spot one. The Serval looks similar to a Cheetah because of its spots, but is easily distinguished from all other cats by its unusually large ears, compared to the size of its face and body. Not surprisingly, the Serval is known for its superb hearing. It can even hear rodents, its favorite prey, moving under the ground.

What a beautiful experience to sit quietly and appreciate the moment as a male Lion saunters by.

This just in from Carmin Arnot who is traveling across the Masai Mara this week, in preparation for our Kenya expedition later this year. Have you thought about joining us?

"We have spent several days getting to know Kenya’s famous Masai Mara. From the conservancies in the far north, through the national reserve, the Mara Triangle, and ending along the border with Tanzania’s Serengeti. The Mara is very green at this time of year, highlighting the variety of landscapes. From watching hot air balloons at sunrise with a majestic male lion, to a very relaxed serval on the hunt, the wildlife sightings have been outstanding."

If there is one wildlife experience we wish everyone could have, it would be to spend time observing the Mountain Gorillas at Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in Uganda. Very little can compare to sitting just a few feet away from the largest primate on our planet—quietly observing these magnificent animals as the youngsters play and a silverback watches over his family. Of course Uganda offers many exciting experiences—from Chimpanzee tracking at Kibale National Park to seeing the tree-climbing Lions at Queen Elizabeth National Park. it's no wonder our signature Uganda expedition has become an Apex Traveler favorite! Join us!

In this video from our most recent Uganda safari, Apex expedition leader Marco Tonoli captures an unforgettable Mountain Gorilla encounter.

As the Mountain Gorilla’s of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest made their way out of the forest, the Apex team was perfectly positioned to have an unbelievably up-close experience with the dominant silverback. The Rushegura family, 16 members strong, is dominated by a magnificent silverback called Kabukojo, who shows his confidence and trust as he wanders right through the middle of our group. An incredible moment with one of the most spectacular mammals on our planet.
