You’re on safari, the golden African sun setting as you watch wildlife gather by the waterhole. The air is warm, and nature hums all around you. But as night falls, another tiny creature may come into play – mosquitoes.

On SADC Malaria Day (November 6th), we’re reminded that even in the wild beauty of the African plains, it’s important to protect yourself from malaria. While many safari destinations are malaria-free, some aren’t, so taking precautions ensures your adventure stays unforgettable for all the right reasons.

Here are a few simple ways to keep mosquitoes at bay:
• Wear long sleeve shirts and pants from dusk till dawn
• Use mosquito repellent
• Make use of your mosquito net
• Speak to your doctor about anti-malaria medication

Journey to the lush green fields of South Africa. Bend down and gently brush your fingers through the leaves until you find the perfect, plump strawberry. Pluck it, wash it, and taste the sweet juicy essence of the freshest fruit you’ll ever eat . Or maybe it’s the cherries calling your name as you climb the ladder and reach for the bright-colored gem waiting to be picked from its tree.

With its numerous strawberry farms and cherry orchards bursting with fresh produce, South Africa’s picking season is a beloved activity that draws visitors from near and far, lasting all the way until December.

Safaris aren't just about spotting wildlife, they are also about recognizing our role in their future. Every pawprint, every rustling leaf reveals the delicate balance of nature's resilience. However, these precious ecosystems face mounting threats.

As we marvel at nature's wonders during a scenic game drive, we must acknowledge the impact of our choices. Every action we take toward sustainability echoes through the wilderness. By working together, we can ensure future generations will still experience the pulse of the natural world.

Happy World Sustainability Day! Let's commit to preserving the beauty we witness on safari for generations to come.

We are partnering with Ele-Collection to address the plastic waste crisis in the region encompassing Victoria Falls, Livingstone, and Hwange. This area produces approximately 300–400 tonnes of plastic waste each month, with Victoria Falls town alone contributing around 60–90 tonnes monthly—amounting to an estimated 730,000–1 million kilograms of waste annually.

This waste isn’t just damaging the environment—it’s causing the tragic deaths of over 5000 animals in 2010 alone and leading to more elephant attacks due to plastic ingestion.

By working together, we can protect both our wildlife and local communities in creating a cleaner future for all.

The dry season in Southern Africa may look shriveled and harsh, but there's a silver lining—game viewing has never been easier! With grasses and foliage either withered or eaten, animals are more visible and gather around limited water sources, making them easier to spot. If they’re not roaming in the open, they’re likely resting in shady sanctuaries.

Morning game drives start just as the sun breaks the horizon, and night drives linger into dusk with scenic sunset views.

In the warm waters of Southern Africa, a charming creature waddles along the shore. Meet the African Penguin, dressed in nature's finest tuxedo, with eye-catching pink patches above its eyes. Listen closely, and you might hear its unique call, reminiscent of a donkey's bray – hence their playful nickname, "jackass penguins".

Today, we celebrate World African Penguin Awareness Day. These endearing birds face challenges: their numbers are dwindling due to a changing climate and lurking predators. But here's a heartwarming twist – you can "adopt" one! While they can't live with you, your support provides a safe haven in a nature reserve, ensuring these tuxedoed friends thrive for years to come.

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.
