EXPLORE the heart of Matopos National Park. Find cave paintings of the ancient San people, ride mountain bikes through traditional Ndebele villages, and track rhino on foot in this exceptional region.
Mozambique is one of the best spots in the world to see whale sharks. Averaging about 30 feet in length, these colossal sharks are harmless to humans. Often spotted on a snorkelling trip, they come close to the shore to enjoy the small fish, shrimp, and plankton that comprise their diet.
Suppose you’re looking for the perfect opportunity to indulge in an ethical whale watching experience in one of the most beautiful locations in the world. In that case, there’s nowhere quite like Ponto do Ouro beaches and the rejuvenating serenity of White Pearl Resorts.
Restore your soul, relax your body, and experience a truly once-in-a-lifetime chance to meet these fascinating marine mammals in their home habitats. Your mind, body, and soul will thank you!
These majestic creatures are also known as African wild dogs or African hunting dogs. They are wild canines native to sub-Saharan Africa.

FOR THE LOVE OF ELEPHANTS
Today we celebrate World Elephant Day with this poem.
In the tracks of giants
To walk in the wake of elephants,
to be small in a world of giants
to learn the spoor of silence,
and the deep rumbling eloquence of kin.
To move in the skin of elephants,
to feel the alliance of sand,
the contours of land
and the far reaching pull
of water.
To be alive to the sway of elephants,
to remember the songs of seasons,
the ancient lines of migrations,
and loosen your reasons
for fences.
To wake up to the web of intelligence,
to the wild origins of sentience,
to find your voice and raise it,
that others may raise theirs’
for elephants.
By Dr. Ian McCallum
