As the sun rises over Africa, Mount Kilimanjaro stands tall, its snow-capped peak glistening against the sky. For adventurers, the dream of conquering its summit feels closer during the months of December to March with clear skies, milder weather, and lush surroundings.

As you ascend Africa's highest peak, each step reveals a new wonder - from exotic wildlife to breathtaking vistas that stretch beyond the horizon.

The climb challenges your body, but it's your spirit that truly soars. You'll push your limits, yes, but you'll also immerse yourself in the rich Tanzanian culture, sharing laughs and creating lifelong bonds with fellow adventurers and local guides.
And when you finally reach Uhuru Peak? That moment of triumph, as the sun paints the clouds below in gold, is simply indescribable.

Bucket List Goal for 2025!

Imagine stepping into a world untouched by time, where shimmering ice fields stretch endlessly, and the only sound is the crunch of snow underfoot. In 2025, this dream can become your reality with Ultima Antarctic Expeditions.

Your journey begins in Cape Town, where the anticipation builds as you prepare to leave civilisation behind. From the moment your plane touches down on the icy expanse, you're enveloped by the beauty of Antarctica. Blue ice caves glitter like frozen cathedrals, and towering glaciers remind you of nature’s raw power.

But the real magic happens at the Emperor Penguin colony. These magnificent creatures, standing tall and proud, gather with their fluffy chicks – a heartwarming scene you’ll carry with you forever.

At the luxurious Ultima Oasis Camp, evenings are spent recounting the day’s adventures over hearty meals while gazing out at the breathtaking polar landscape.

Every year on November 21st, we celebrate World Fisheries Day – a day dedicated to honoring the life beneath our waters and the communities that rely on it. From the small fishing villages along Africa’s coastlines to the bustling harbors of the Pacific, fisheries play a crucial role in feeding millions and supporting countless ecosystems.

Overfishing is pushing our marine ecosystems to the brink with entire species disappearing, coral reefs bleaching, and once-thriving coastal waters becoming barren.

Today, we reflect on the importance of protecting our oceans and supporting sustainable fishing practices so future generations can experience the same bounty and beauty.

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
