| Opening eyes, hearts and minds through amazing Africa
We’ve had some wonderful safaris this year and, although it’s been a year of picking ourselves up by our bootstraps, we have celebrated so much with our adventurous travellers! From an exclusive family safari on the banks of the Mara River in Kenya to the prize-winning wilds of Hwange in Zimbabwe, from a mobile camp on the migration trail of Tanzania to balmy days in Botswana’s beautiful Okavango Delta, from the breathtaking Victoria Falls to the magic of Mana Pools, we’ve traversed the continent!
And now, as we explore the possibilities for next year, we’re also planning on expanding our own horizons! We promise to reveal exciting news in 2023. |

| Just the way we love a safari – adventurous luxury, exclusive experiences, wild and warm connections. |
|
| If you want to be closer to the earth – the sights, smells, sounds and soul of Africa – then you will find it with an adventure hosted by either John Barclay or James Stenner in the Okavango Delta. This is luxury of a different sort, one that takes you back to basics with all the creature comforts and allows the wild experience to surround and astound. Botswana’s wildlife-rich Moremi comes to action-packed life with your private guide on this exclusive, private journey into the wild. |

Chilo Gorge Safari Lodge is set spectacularly on the edge of the stunning wilderness of Gonarezhou National Park, in South-East Zimbabwe. Guests enjoy access to the pristine wilderness of Gonarezhou, with the authentic animal interaction which goes with a park which is rarely visited. Gonarezhou is a gem amongst African parks, with a recent re-introduction of black rhino to the area, and offers experienced safari travellers an increasingly rare chance to explore untouched Africa. In addition, there is a very powerful community and conservation story at the centre of how the lodge operates.

Set on a private riverside site in the Mara North Conservancy, Serian’s Kimya Kimya is a stunning camp full of character with amazing views over the Mara River, a favourite gathering spot for elephants, giraffe and zebra. Life at Kimya Kimya is low-key and tranquil. With all the creature comforts of a bush camp; leather and worn wood, swathes of cotton, cold beers, fireside barbeques and ice-laden gin and tonics. This exciting new lodge has only just been launched and we think it’ll be perfect as a start or finish to an exciting safari. We’re currently taking bookings for 2023.
