Late August and September brought the warmer weather and some windy days that cleared the skies. An unexpected but welcome cold front followed the wind and crisp mornings have kicked off with clear light basking the banks of the Luangwa and Mwaleshi rivers at sunrise. Out in the bush lagoons have started to dry up, […]

We have been bundling up against the cold the last few weeks but our resident wildlife has been keeping us busy from leopard and wild dog darting at Tafika to lion kills in front of Big Lagoon. Mwaleshi and Takwela opened mid-June so it’s great to have all of our camps open making some of […]

This dry season we’ve been pleasantly surprised by the mild heat of September and October which has proved to be even cooler than the UK summer. That said, it has still been warm enough to ensure plenty of hustle and bustle at the remaining waterholes and riverine areas. Before we get stuck into our news, […]

As we move from winter into late dry season, there has been lots to keep us entertained and the chills haven’t only come from the last breath of winter. Our Remote Africa team have been very focused on regrouping after the pandemic and once again creating the best experiences in the areas that we love. […]

The end of our safari season always arrives more suddenly than expected, but with the end comes new beginnings. October (and even more so, November) is made of really hot stuff and isn’t for the faint-hearted. That said, if you can handle the heat and are happy to slug down a daily glass of rehydration salts, […]
