Mid-June is deep into winter in Southern Africa – great for safaris due to sparse vegetation and easier wildlife spotting.

🦁 Did you know June is one of the best months for game viewing in Southern Africa? With the dry season in full swing, animals gather at watering holes and the bush thins out, giving you front-row seats to the wildest show on Earth.

📅 Plan your winter escape now – Africa is calling.

🦩 This Father’s Day, we’re celebrating the surprising ‘superdads’ of the African wild.

Did you know that male flamingos are some of the most devoted dads in the animal kingdom? From building the nest to taking turns incubating the egg, they share parenting duties equally - and even help feed their chick with a special nutrient-rich “milk” produced in their throats.

At Anywhere in Africa Safaris, we’ve learned that fatherhood in nature comes in many shapes, shades, and surprises — just like the amazing dads we know in our own lives.

So here’s to the fathers who show up, share the load, and do it all with grace and color.

Happy Father’s Day from all of us! 💗

In my most recent blog, I mentioned that Ethiopia is firmly on my radar — and here’s why.

For the adventure traveler craving depth, drama, and discovery, Ethiopia is a land like no other. Beyond its epic landscapes and ancient history, it’s also home to some of the world’s most fascinating and culturally rich tribes — from the lip-plated Mursi to the body-painted Karo — offering a rare window into authentic, age-old traditions that still thrive today.

Here are my top 5 must-do experiences that prove Ethiopia is one of Africa’s most thrilling, underrated gems:

🏔️ Trek the Simien Mountains
Dubbed the "Roof of Africa," this UNESCO-listed range offers jaw-dropping escarpments, dramatic peaks, and the chance to spot rare wildlife like the Gelada monkey and Walia ibex. Think multi-day treks, misty mornings, and views that leave you breathless in every sense.

🌋 Descend into the Danakil Depression
One of the hottest and most otherworldly places on Earth, the Danakil is a riot of neon lava lakes, acid pools, salt flats, and active volcanoes. It’s extreme, it’s elemental – and it’s the ultimate off-the-grid adventure.

🏰 Explore the Rock-Hewn Churches of Lalibela
Carved straight from the earth in the 12th century, these mystical churches are a marvel of ancient engineering and spiritual devotion. Walking among them feels like time travel.

🚣‍♂️ Raft or kayak Lake Tana & the Blue Nile Falls
Paddle Ethiopia’s largest lake, dotted with historic monasteries on forested islands, and chase the thunder of Tis Issat – the Blue Nile Falls, best seen during the rainy season in full, misty force.

🚵 Bike or hike through the Bale Mountains
Winding trails, Afro-alpine landscapes, and the elusive Ethiopian wolf await in this less-visited highland region. A paradise for those who love remote, raw wilderness.

✨ And of course — a cultural journey to Ethiopia wouldn’t be complete without connecting with the vibrant tribal communities of the Omo Valley. It’s an unforgettable, deeply human experience.

🐘🌊 Gordy's Great Adventure: Elephant Seal Takes a Stroll Through Gordon's Bay! 🌊🐘

Earlier this week, residents of Gordon's Bay were treated to an unexpected visitor—a young southern elephant seal, affectionately dubbed "Gordy," was spotted leisurely making his way through the neighborhood streets.

Weighing in at approximately two tons, Gordy's urban exploration included resting his head on a patrol car and navigating sidewalks, much to the astonishment of onlookers. Concerned for his well-being, the Cape of Good Hope SPCA, along with marine wildlife experts and city officials, orchestrated a careful rescue operation. Gordy was safely sedated and transported back to his natural habitat.

But Gordy's adventures didn't end there! Just days later, he made another appearance, this time at the Naval Base in Simon’s Town. Authorities have confirmed that he's in a secure location, resting and being closely monitored to ensure his safety.

For a glimpse of Gordy's memorable journey, check out CNN's coverage here: https://edition.cnn.com/2025/05/29/world/video/elephant-seal-gordons-bay-south-africa-digvid

Let's celebrate Gordy's adventurous spirit and the dedicated teams who ensured his safe return to the ocean! 🐾💙

A Southern elephant seal makes a surprise visit to the residential neighborhood of Gordon’s Bay in Cape Town, South Africa, and triggers an almost nine-hour rescue effort to return him to the coast.
