We love this quote from R Elliot “If you only visit two continents in your lifetime, visit Africa twice.” A visit to Africa, especially an African Safari, is truly a magical experience. Combine that with the majestic gorillas in Uganda for one of the most extraordinary experiences of your lifetime. We still have availability on our Uganda Safari and Gorilla Trekking journey in February. Join us today!

Fun Fact Friday – Dung Beetle
Dung Beetles can be found almost everywhere in the world except Antarctica.
They are excellent decomposers which helps to improve soil quality.
They prefer dung from herbivores and specifically plant material that hasn’t been fully digested such as elephant, cow or rhino.
There are three types, rollers, tunnellers and dwellers.
The “rollers” as seen in this video create a ball with the dung, roll it away to be used as a food source or breed chamber.
Dung Beetles are the world’s strongest insect. A roller can pull a whopping 1,141 times its own bodyweight. That’s the same as a human dragging six full double-decker busses along a road!
WOW!!
Today is Save the Elephant Day, a global initiative dedicated to spreading awareness about elephants and advocating for their conservation. Aside from their remarkable beauty, elephants also have strong cultural significance, provide jobs for local communities, and are a crucial contributor to maintaining biodiversity. Through education, activism, and support for conservation, we can work together to create a brighter future for elephants and their habitats.

A sun setting in the horizon signifying an end to a day is a beautiful gift enjoyed by many worldwide. Tonight, in the Greater Kruger Area of South Africa, we were blessed with a stunningly beautiful sky of pinks and reds as we watched the sun descend during our “African Sundowner”.

With our female guide Tanya, sharing her expertise, we enjoyed a fabulous day game driving in the iconic Kruger National. The elephants 🐘, zebra 🦓 and giraffes 🦒 are our favourite but all were mesmerizing! Nature at its best.
Bon Voyage ladies…
To the lovely ladies travelling on our South Africa Wildlife, Wellness, Wine and UnWind adventure we wish you a wonderful journey. Bon Voyage!
