Happy Heritage Day, South Africa! On this special day, South Africans come together to celebrate their ‘Rainbow Nation’ of cultures, traditions, and diversity.

‘Rainbow Nation’ was a term coined by Archbishop Desmond Tutu in the 1990s due to the country’s colorful mix of cultures and ethnicities. Did you know that South Africa has 11 official languages?

Many South Africans love to ‘braai’ on this day. Braai is a quintessential tradition that brings people together around a bonfire to enjoy a feast of succulent poultry grilled over hot coals and served with mouth-watering sides.

Happy World Rhino Day!

On this special day, we acknowledge our horned friends and the countless heroes who are doing all they can to save them from extinction.

African Parks is embarking on a special mission to rewild 2000 southern white rhinos into areas where they are safe from poachers. 40 rhinos have already found homes in the Munywana Conservancy in South Africa, while another 120 rhinos have moved to private reserves along Kruger National Park’s western border.

Rhinos are one of the biggest victims of poaching due to demand for their horns. It’s a big problem which may lead to their extinction.

Buffalos have a hidden talent that they use at night. These impressive animals, members of Africa's famous Big 5, aren't just about muscle and horns. When night falls and dangers near, these clever creatures have a super-effective alarm system.

The whole herd goes completely quiet, melting into the darkness like shadows. It's their smart way of tricking predators, making it super hard for lions (their biggest enemy) to pick out single buffalos.

Today is and we honor the king of the jungle!
Most lions come from Africa – with one or two subspecies existing elsewhere. They love to eat and can devour up to 40kg of meat in a single meal!

Lionesses are excellent at multitasking as they care for the cubs and do most of the hunting, while male lions protect the pride’s territory.

The recent ban on private vehicles in the Maasai Mara Game Reserve is a significant development in the ongoing conversation about sustainable tourism in Africa.

While some might see it as an inconvenience, we at GILTEDGE view it as a step in the right direction. This move helps to reduce the Mara’s carbon footprint, boost economic empowerment for local guides, and control overtourism during the Great Migration.

At GILTEDGE, we’re committed to ensuring our guests continue to see and experience the best of this iconic destination. We applaud the Maasai Mara’s decision and look forward to a future where sustainable tourism and unforgettable experiences go hand-in-hand.

Today, on World Snake Day, we celebrate some of the most misunderstood creatures of the African savannah.

Did you know Africa is home to over 200 species of snakes, each with unique adaptations and behaviors? While some may be venomous, most are harmless and even beneficial to humans, keeping the ecosystem balanced and providing natural pest control.

Hidden away in the Taita Hills of Kenya, the Taita Apalis is a small bird with a big conservation challenge. This critically endangered species is found nowhere else on Earth, making it one of Africa’s rarest avian treasures – and there are only about 1,000 of them left in the wild.

Luckily, local organizations and scientists are working tirelessly to protect this species through habitat restoration and monitoring programs. Your sustainable safari can also make a difference.

You’ll also scope out colorful birds and witness some dramatic predator action.
