The Spark of Life.

One of nature’s most powerful elements—not only illuminates the night but also ignited a transformation in the human story that forever changed our trajectory. In Africa, the birthplace of humankind, fire became a catalyst for both survival and culture.

For early humans, fire brought warmth, protection, and the ability to cook food, which many believe played a crucial role in our evolution. Cooked food allowed our ancestors to extract more energy from their meals, fueling larger brains and changing the way we lived, hunted, and interacted with each other.

But that is not all..

It was around the fire that early communities gathered, forging the bonds that laid the foundation for storytelling, shared knowledge, and the culture we see today.

Home to the world’s greatest wildlife and natural wonders, Africa is safer and easier to travel than you may think—though malaria could influence your choice of destination.

We have listed our top picks for a malaria-free African Safari.

1. Thornybush Game Lodge
Set within the Greater Kruger National Park, it is known for its high density of wildlife, offering remarkable opportunities for close encounters with Africa’s iconic animals. The reserve's diverse habitats support a rich variety of species, from the Big Five to an array of birdlife, making every game drive a captivating experience.

2. Kwessi Dunes
Kwessi Dunes is a safari camp set deep within Namibia’s breathtaking NamibRand Nature Reserve, a vast desert expanse spanning over 200,000 hectares. Surrounded by rolling plains, rugged mountains, and iconic red dunes, this is a place where time feels suspended, and the horizon stretches endlessly. It’s not about pursuing big game here, but rather embracing the striking landscapes, watching antelope roam the sands, and marvelling at the starlit skies that illuminate the desert nights.

3. Marataba Safar Lodge
Spanning 23,000 hectares (56,834 acres) of untouched wilderness within Marakele Nature Reserve, this privately managed reserve immediately stands out as something truly special.

Here, you’ll be immersed in the vast vistas of the Waterberg Mountains and the rich diversity of wildlife, including the Big Five, with the rhino—a signature species—offering an opportunity for a particularly memorable malaria-free safari.

YOUR GUIDE TO THE BEST TIME TO VISIT SOUTH AFRICA. (Part 2)

June �🐋 Whale Watching & Wildlife: With less rainfall in Kruger and thinning vegetation, June is a great time for wildlife spotting. Coastal areas like Hermanus are perfect for whale watching, as humpbacks and southern rights come to mate and rear their young.

July �❄️ Winter Wonders & Wildlife: The ‘dry’ season in northern reserves means peak game viewing, though it’s winter, so pack warm! Cape Town may be cooler with rain, but it’s also prime time for diving with Great White sharks and spotting whales and dolphins.

August �🦁 Prime Game Viewing: August is the ‘dry’ season, with vegetation stripped back, allowing for excellent game viewing. Wildlife spotting is at its best across South Africa’s national parks and reserves.

September �🐋 Whales & Warm Weather: While Cape Town enjoys moderate temperatures, whales are still visible off the coast. In the Kruger and northern regions, game viewing remains superb with warmer weather.

October �🌤️ Sunny Safari Days: Cape Town transitions out of its ‘wet’ season with more clear skies. The Kruger and private reserves are still dry, offering enjoyable safari experiences.

November �🌸 Spring into Summer: November brings warm, sun-filled days to Cape Town—ideal for a city stay before heading out on safari. It’s a great time for a twin-center trip combining the city with the bush.

December �🌞 Summer Escapes & Turtles: December is perfect for combining your safari with a Cape Town visit. Witness the hatching of endangered turtles along KwaZulu Natal’s coastline, and enjoy the peak weather along the Garden Route for a multi-centre safari adventure.

YOUR GUIDE TO THE BEST TIME TO VISIT SOUTH AFRICA. (Part 1)

January �🌞 Summer in the Cape: The perfect time to combine your safari with a stay in Cape Town, as it’s the height of summer. Don’t miss the chance to witness the hatching of hundreds of endangered turtles along KwaZulu Natal’s Indian Ocean coastline.

February �💧 Wet Season Wonders: February is ideal for experiencing the lush landscapes brought by the summer rains. Explore the vibrant flora and fauna that thrive during this time, or indulge in the buzzing cultural festivals in Cape Town.

March�🌊 Last of the Summer Bliss: March offers a unique opportunity to enjoy a beach holiday in KwaZulu Natal combined with a marine safari, where you might spot majestic whale sharks. Cape Town is dry and warm—perfect for a city stay before your safari.

April �📸 Picture-Perfect Landscapes: While the recent rains might disperse wildlife, the lush greenery and clear skies make for stunning photos. You may need to search a bit harder for animals, but South Africa offers year-round wildlife experiences.

May �🌿 Green Season Safari: May is a transitional month, offering cooler temperatures and the beginning of thinner vegetation, making wildlife easier to spot. It’s a quieter time for travel, offering a peaceful and immersive safari experience.

AUTHENTIC

The first word that comes to mind when describing Jumbo Junction, and one of the few lodges throughout Africa that we think lives up to that word.

This intimate family-run lodge in the Delta has stolen our hearts.

Where we're going, we don't need roads.

It might be a bit cliche, but...

Dirt roads and two-tracks are some of the best ingredients for an extraordinary story.

Throw in an old-fashioned map and a few bedrolls and you can call yourself an adventurer.

A day out in the Delta might be one of the best ways to experience what the Okavango has to offer.

If you are watching elephants drinking water or watching kingfishers fishing. No matter what you see, you know you are somewhere remote and very special.

DRAWING CLOSER.
