As any safari fan will tell you, it's often the least expected wildlife gems that put a big smile on your face. That's why this month we're celebrating great migration safaris....in the Serengeti (Tanzania), Masai Mara (Kenya) and Kasanka (Zambia)
The trick to planning a migration safari is to find the right spot, away from the crowds, staying at smaller outfits. Here are just a few ideas to whet your appetite. 10 Day Kenya Migration Safari

6 Day Short Serengeti Migration Safari Arguably THE definitive migration safari, with the flexibility to get into the very best spots in and around the Serengeti with some of the best gu1des in East Africa, many miles away from anyone else.
What could be better, roaming around the Serengeti in the wake of the migration! We include two nights in neighbouring Loliondo conservation area to offer the contrast of night drives and walking safaris. These safaris operate on set departures but can also be offered on request. |

Principe - the first completely ecologically run tropicalisland economy: The government of Sao Tome/Principe and independent investors have entered into a strategic partnership, aimed at developing the sustainable tourism potential of Africa's second smallest country. Congo Basin Safaris: if you've experienced most of the traditional haunts in Africa you'll understand why we're constantly going back to places where the boundaries get pushed. Here's a refresher on Chris's Congo/CAR library from a few years ago, another from Bryan Jackson's Gabon/CAR library. We're looking into Odzala later this year...drop a note for 2012.
Epicurean Safaris: Who's up for champagne and oysters at Harbour House, Confit duck at River Cafe, Tapas at Steenberg's Bistro 1682 or Karoo lamb at Monneaux's ? These are just a few of the hand-picked and in some instances, award winning eating places on offer from Cape Town. Simple stops during exclusive cellar tours in the Cape region. Available from our friend Sandy Wood. The Serengeti Highway: ...get the latest on the Stop the Serengeti Highway campaign, a year on.
This campaign is far from over!

A "Gooney Bird" over Kenya: One of the world's best known aircraft, an iconic DC3 registered as "5Y WOW" and named "Furahah" (Swahili for Happiness) is now based on Mombasa. She's a recently modified aircraft with a longer fuselage, lightweight floor, 32 seats with extra leg space, a modern suite of avionics and new powerful turbine engines. She's flying daily services to the Masai Mara or available for flights through East Africa. One of us will have to test her out!
Scottish GameFair 2011: We kicked off our UK summer shows at Scone Palace, Perth. Met lots of old friends, enjoyed outstanding weather and look forward to getting back up north same time next year! |
