Happy images from Namibia! A special trip for a group of friends embarking on a small group tour creating new memories. They wanted to see the highlights of Namibia and Botswana, stay in small scale comfortable accommodations and have the convenience of a driver and guide. This is the hot season but wildlife sightings are sublime at this time of the year.

✨ Trip of the week: Madagascar Expedition : 1st - 23rd October 2025 with

If you are looking for a relaxing time on a beach with a gentle stroll in a forest this safari is not for you. If you want an active holiday, something different, with a bit of hiking and adventure, then this is it!

We will show you fantastic scenery, you will hike in jungles and deserts with hundreds of species of fauna and flora that are endemic to the island. With a fascinating culture and delicious cuisine Madagascar is a fusion of the whole history of the Malagasy people and completely unique to anywhere else in the world.

This will be the 6th Trip to Madagascar with Leon.

In 23 days you pirogue down the Tsiribihina river, visit the Tsingi de Barama, look for Fossa in the Kirindi Forests, see the iconic alle de Baobabs at sunset, explore the jungles of Ranomafana, explore Isalo National Park with spectacular scenery, swim under waterfalls and in crystal clear pools, sighting the different lemurs trees along the way. You finish at Adasibe, home to the largest lemur, the Indri, whose eerie call you will never forget.

This is a beautiful example of community based tourism!

Lewaso Camp is a community tourism initiative by local Massai founder Paul Lebeneiyo that aims to provide inspiration and jobs within the local community. It was Paul’s dream to build Lewaso Camp on tribal land to provide a different model as grazing hundreds of cattle is now not sustainable. He hopes his camp will be an inspiration to the younger generation. Rather than leave the area to earn money in the cities or other safari camps, some can work at Lewaso and stay within their community and pass down their rich traditions to their children. Profits from his camp will go to a trust to promote education for less fortunate families within the community. The camp is situated a unique boulder-strewn landscape that abounds with wildlife. Guests can enjoy immersing themselves in traditional Masai culture through learning about the singing wells, bush walks and rungu throwing. A great bonus is that it is away from the herds of safari tourists found in the main tourist areas.

Guests can spot animals here on game drives, walking safaris, on a camel safari, or from an ATV 4-wheeler. It is home to the big cats including the 3 well-known black leopards, wild dogs, and many elephants.

A self-drive in Botswana is full of adventure, adrenaline, stepping out of your comfort zone, moments of silence. You will have time for reflection, appreciation of the beauty of nature, you feel humble. It will certainly be a trip you will never forget.
We can certainly share that we are always happy to hear when clients made it through without getting stuck, as there are plenty of moments we cannot be by your side to assist as destinations are so remote. Thank you for sharing these moments.
