In the midst of the Covid-19 global pandemic, it s easy to feel overwhelmed and a bit hopeless. When I was forced to postpone my upcoming safaris planned for this May and June to Tanzania and Botswana to next year, I must admit it was a pretty horrid feeling. Part of that feeling was purely selfish - I m really going to miss Africa this year! But I m also worried about my friends working in safaris and conservation, and what this means for the people and wildlife of Africa. But before I could even start to feel miserable about all that, emails started rolling in from our guests from all across the world. No one talked about cancelling; everyone was just as keen as I was to make sure we get over to Africa, even if it is a year later. I am so grateful for this - because Africa really needs us right now.
"Look at all the animals!"
This is a phrase youre likely to hear and say yourself about ten times on your first day in the Mara-Serengeti ecosystem. It's impressive for an adult, but for kids who are so zoned in to everything that moves this East African gem is an absolute wonderland of sights and sounds.
If there s a place on earth that shows that it s possible to recover from even the most extremely desperate situations and that proves the phenomenal resilience both of people and nature, it has to be Rwanda. This December I spent a full month there and it reminded me how valuable it is to be able to spend significant time in one place really getting to know it better.
Due to a very last minute cancellation, as of today one room has become available on my Rwanda safari this year. I am offering this room (2 people sharing) at a hefty discount as a result! You can do either week one, week two, or both combined. I m open to any suggestions if you think you can join us next month! I can also offer this to a single person at a big discount, however single supplement still applies for the lodges.
Drum roll! It's that time of year again when I release the details of my upcoming safaris for 2020 and 2021. If you are thinking of going on safari next year or the year after, please read on....
