Where can you spot the Big 5 in less touristy destinations?

✨ Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe – The nation’s largest park, home to one of the densest concentrations of game in Africa including all of the Big 5.

✨ Moremi Game Reserve, Botswana – Nestled in the Okavango Delta, it provides a unique ecosystem for the Big 5, with diverse landscapes from dry land to delta.

❄️ Winter:
Winter unveils a stark beauty, with crisp, clear nights perfect for astrophotography. Animals frequent the waterholes, offering unique photo opportunities against the vast, cloudless skies.

🌱 Spring:
September marks a soft warmth returning to the land. Flora bursts into life signaling peak wildlife activity. Position yourself by a waterhole with a picnic and watch as a carousel of animals provides endless photographic treasures.

Namibia through the year offers a kaleidoscope of scenes for photographers. Each season narrates a different story, awaiting to be captured and shared. 🌍

You will experience that even in 1 day, Namibia will blow you away about it’s color pallets. If you can, spend a day gazing at the desert and photograph 50 shades of orange 🌅

‘As a Human Geography student, my aim was to contribute to making a difference in less developed countries and to work towards a more equitable world. Then I met William in Zimbabwe after my Zambian internship. I never envisioned that tourism would become the avenue through which I could effect positive change, enhancing both lives and the environment simultaneously.
Thank you for traveling with us and making my dreams come true! ‘

At African Travels, we strive to craft a unique experience for you. Thrilled to share a glimpse into this family’s adventure in Rwanda, thanks to some stunning photos we were fortunate to receive! They embarked on a one-of-a-kind journey filled with local experiences for the kids, unforgettable wildlife encounters, and the immersive beauty of this African destination. Thank you for sharing!

However, we are deeply saddened by the recent developments in the north of Rwanda, bordering Congo. We hope for a swift resolution as tourism represents a vital source of income for many Rwandese. Our thoughts are with those affected during this challenging time.
