Magical Namibia.
The camel thorn trees of Deadvlei are utterly captivating, perfectly reserved in the arid dryness of Namib-Naukluft National Park.

Whether in its Indian luxury camps or here in Africa, @thesujanlife offers a premier front seat to the big cats.

Though always embracing a distinct symbiosis, the Maasai often found conflict with predators encroaching on their land and killing their livestock. In more recent times, their traditional ways have adapted to incorporate a more modern approach to conservation. Cattle graze the long grasses and fertilise the land, developing an ecosystem of cohabitation that benefits all creatures, as @kicheche_safari_camps’ guide Benja shares.

A Mexican stand-off between two of Africa’s big cats.
Lions can be supremely territorial, cheetah much smaller and more timid.
But the cheetah could easily outpace the lion and, despite his superior power, even the boldest lion would avoid an unnecessary tussle.

Did you know that elephants ‘hear’ their feet?
In his amazing new series on @appletv, the Reluctant Traveller, actor @eugenelevy001 was informed by his guide that elephants create guttural sounds deep in their chests that reverberate through the ground and are felt and ‘heard’ by other elephants through their feet.
In another of his episodes, he discovers that the rainforests of Costa Rica aren’t such a bad place after all - but anyone would fall in love with the nature he discovered and our wonderful partner, @nayarasprings
It`s a superb series if you are searching for a little travel inspiration or armchair escapism.

Elephant may be the world’s largest land mammal and wonderfully majestic, but there is something more about them that makes them particularly endearing. Perhaps it is their sedate majesty, perhaps their charming interactions or playful trunks.
But there is something more... their eyes possess a kindness, their interactions mimic our own, and despite their four legs, long nose, big ears and wrinkled skin, there is something distinctly yet indescribably ‘human’ about them to which we can relate.

Though the Great Migration is in constant flux, July and August are often regarded as the best months, adding the high drama of river crossings to the perennially-impressive views of two million creatures on the move. If you have ever wished to view the Great Migration and are considering a safari in the coming months, now is the time to give us a call.

Two predators, two hungry stomachs, one dinner. Scavengers by nature, spotted hyena will often wait for a big cat to kill its prey and then move in en masse to steal the meal.

As conservation tourism becomes both more viable and desired, we embrace this opportunity to fulfil clients’ dreams and protect the fragility of Africa’s ecosystems and species.

They may look completely relaxed under the midday sun, but there is always one eye attentively scanning the horizon for threat or prey.
Cat naps only for this majestic pride.

Every life is precious. Doldol was born prematurely and abandoned. Tiny when rescued by @sheldricktrust, she was given an abundance of love and care, attended to every moment of every day in the hope that, one day, she might be rehabilitated back into the wild.
The extent to which carers go, both at Sheldrick and other animal rescue centres across Africa, is simply staggering, yet this is just one element of a surge of work being undertaken towards a brighter future for African wildlife and ecosystems.
If you are interested in learning more, visiting sanctuaries or taking part in conservation efforts during your safari, mention it to your travel designer who will be able to align you with one of the incredible organisations we support and partner with.
