First day in the new job at 𝗪𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘁 𝗔𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮.

After two decades of exploring, it is still awe-inspiring to be able to bring scientists and tourists into the heart of the most remote continent on Earth.
Antarctica cannot help but to have the most powerful effect on you. It is not just the surreal beauty or unimaginably large landscapes; it is the reconnection to nature in its rawest form. You feel humble and fragile, yet, simultaneously, empowered and deeply connected to our planet.
We only entertain small groups at our luxury camps, providing a much-needed sense of space and discovery. From Emperor Penguins to the Geographic South Pole, iridescent ice tunnels to the endless High Polar Plateau – this is our home.
And we can’t wait to share it with you…. Adventure awaits at White Desert Antarctica

SIMBAVATI RIVER LODGE

Simbavati River Lodge is a family-orientated safari lodge, situated in the Timbavati Private Game Reserve, which forms part of the Greater Kruger National Park. The lodge is popular with families because of its spacious chalets and entertaining kiddies' programme. There is no rigid pattern of children's safari activities at Simbavati; however, after breakfast, a ranger will be on hand to take any children in the camp for some exciting bush activities. Depending on the weather, the age of children and their interests, the activities will either be outdoors or in the lodge. These include adventures like treasure hunts, making the plaster cast of animal spoor and bird identification.

The Willow warbler may weigh no more than a box of matches and fit snugly into the palm of your hand, but it has a huge journey. Each year it flies all the way to the UK from Africa, travelling more than 8,000 kilometres (5,000 miles) across seas, mountains and desert to arrive in time for spring. As if that’s not enough, in autumn it flies all the way back again. Many others visit us in winter from colder northern regions, or briefly stop off here as they pass through. All over the world, every year, millions of birds are on the move.
This movement is called migration.
It is one of the greatest wonders of the animal world.
