Boating Expeditions

The best way to truly explore the incredible landscape of the Okavango Delta, is to get out on a delta expedition onto its waterways in a motor boat, and spend your nights in a light mobile camp set along the water courses and channels of the Okavango. As you cruise along the channels and streams, the sights and sounds feed the thrill of adventuring through pristine territory. Expect spectacular sightings of the abundance of birdlife, Hippos, Elephants, Buffalo, Lechwe, Giraffes and many more large mammals that call the Delta home. Whether you are slightly adventurous at heart, or simply want to marvel at the pristine and remote wilderness, the Trans-Okavango boating expedition offers a unique and unforgettable safari experience.

When thinking of Karen Blixen and the movie ‘Out of Africa’, the very image of the legendary bush plane is inseparable from this continent and safaris. Whether it is to admire the vast deserts and savannahs or tour the mighty Mount Kilimanjaro, a panoramic flight by bush plane is a must for a complete African safari experience.

Himba

Meet the Himba, the last of Namibia’s semi-nomadic pastoral tribes who live in the remote Kunene River Region. They are known for their striking appearance from covering their skin in a cosmetic mixture of butterfat and an ochre pigment.
Today, around 50 000 Himba continue to live by ancient traditions while managing to find a way to live side-by-side with western civilisation in neighbouring settlements.
Interestingly, the Himba language has no word for the colour blue and so they “see” only hues of green.

Horse Riding

Aside from walking, horseback is perhaps the most natural way to explore on your African safari. The inaccessible path of the vehicles are highways for horses, and in the absence of engine sounds you are able to have closer contact with wildlife. As faithful companions of mankind in exploration of the world for millennia, horses continue to provide a reliable means of travel. The pace can vary from cantering alongside Wildebeest and Giraffes while watching the sun set, to a quiet trot through a herd grazing game. Experiencing Africa’s ever-changing landscape on horseback will create many moments that you will cherish for a lifetime.

Chimpanzee Tracking

Chimpanzee encounters are always fascinating, entertaining and fun. While taking an intimate peek into the daily delights, follies and quirks of our closest relatives, you will recognise (and respond emotionally) to customs and behaviours much like your own. Chimpanzees are constantly on the move. When heard from afar, their hooting and shrieking transform the forest into an eerie place. Once among the troop, their blend of tenderness, camaraderie and social drama, is so recognisable and relatable, that it draws you into a wildlife experience like no other. Chimps are far more active than Gorillas and are often found high up in dense forests. It may take effort to find them, but once you do, you will be enthralled by their antics.

COUNTRIES OF ACTIVITY

Uganda, Rwanda and especially Tanzania in east Africa are the best places in the world to track chimps.

TIME OF THE YEAR

While this is a year-round activity, the best time is in the drier months of June to November when temperatures are mild and walking trails are easier. This is especially so for Tanzania.

PHYSICAL EXPECTATIONS

It is recommended that hikers are in good physical condition. A trek could last between 1 to 7 hours over varying terrains.

AGE RESTRICTION

The minimum age for Trekking is 15 years of age.

Mountain Gorillas Tracking

Nothing quite prepares you for the first glimpse of black fur among the undergrowth of the thick forest. The adrenaline surges as you find yourself eye to eye with an imposing Silverback with inquisitive youngsters peeking through the foliage with even keener interest! On the Gorilla trek, you will watch these giants playing, teasing each other, eating, and slumbering in a manner that mirrors our own. Although powerfully built, they are shy, gentle animals and live in tightly-knit troops with one or two alpha males in each. Their close social bonds are on display as they groom each other or hug and tickle the young with obvious affection. Although Gorilla treks are thrilling, the journey through densely-forested slopes to find them can be quite challenging. However, the close encounter will positively impact you forever and is well worth any physical challenge.

COUNTRIES OF ACTIVITY
Mountain Gorilla tracking can be found in Rwanda and Uganda.

TIME OF THE YEAR
This can be done throughout the year but we recommended Gorilla tracking from late May to October. These are the cooler and drier months and they provide excellent viewing conditions for Gorillas.

The minimum age for Gorilla Trekking is 15 years and older.

Golden Monkey Encounters

These strikingly beautiful primates with shiny, reddish-gold coats, are fast-moving and live in social troops of up to 100 individuals. Trekking into the bamboo forests, you will witness their hilarious antics at close quarters, as they swing from tree to tree or chase each other in circles all around you.

COUNTRIES OF ACTIVITY
Habituated troops inhabit the Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda and Mgahinga National Park in Uganda.

TIME OF THE YEAR
Although a year-round activity, January to March or June to September will give you the best experience in Uganda, while May to October is recommended for Rwanda.

Lemur Encounters

Lemur encounters are as varied and unique as their island home. Lemurs are a charismatic group of primates, represented by at least 100 species, all of which are endemic to the island.

Meet the cheeky lemurs in their natural habitat, whilst they leap through the forest with their beautiful striking coats, soft round orange eyes and delicate fingers. These heart-warming primates display interesting behavior, ranging from the Indri species which sing like a whale, to the Sifaka species who sashay across the sand like a ballet dancer.

Lemurs are oddly humanlike, which is no coincidence, as they too are primates, just like us. Whilst they are not as closely related to humans as Chimpanzees and other Ape species, they are still regarded as family.

COUNTRIES OF ACTIVITY
Lemurs are found only in Madagascar, and it’s neighboring Islands.

TIME OF THE YEAR
The Lemur Experience is an all year-round activity. The Lemurs are most active when food is abundant in January to June, and October to November are excellent months to see baby lemurs.

From the basket you will glide smoothly through the air with the only sound from wind whipping past you and the occasional roar of heat from the balloon’s blaster. Enjoy the aerial views of wildlife, both in large herds and scattered across the sweeping African plains, from the ultimate vantage point. At the end of your flight, enjoy a luxurious breakfast in the bush, where you will have the chance to get back up close to the wildlife you spotted from above

This is the time nocturnal animals come to life; a time when the skies ignite with stars. On a night drive you may see Porcupines, Civet Cats, and the rare Aardvark. If luck is on your side, you might see Lions preparing for their evening hunt and setting off into the bush for a kill. A Leopard might be spotted on the ground, or Bush Babies may be seen leaping from branch to branch through the canopies, while Elephants trudge silently in the moonlight.

Meerkats

These curious creatures may well regard you as a friend, and if you are lucky enough, may even climb over you for a better view. Most Meerkats live in underground burrows in large groups of up to 40 individuals, called a gang or a mob. They are a clever, weasel-like animal that is a member of the Mongoose family.

Tall and elegant, their singing is an important part of the culture, as is the famous jumping dance ‘adumu’. The higher you jump, the higher will be within your warrior status.

Hadza

The Hadza of Tanzania are among the last true hunters-gatherers of East Africa. They grow no food, have no livestock and live without rules – a lifestyle that has changed little over the past 10,000 years. The Hadza are reminders of how humanity is thought to have lived from as far back as 2 million years ago. Join these friendly people to forage or hunt and observe how they stalk their prey, use bows with poison-tipped arrows, and rely on their vast and intimate knowledge of the natural world. Watch as they interact with the Honeyguide to find a beehive; let them teach you about wild fruits, tubers, and medicinal plants. The Hadza live for the present moment only and manage to remain free from the trappings of the modern world.

Theirs is one of the oldest cultures on earth, and they are thought to be descended from the first inhabitants of what is now Botswana and South Africa. The historical presence of the San in Botswana is particularly evident in northern Botswana’s Tsodilo Hills region. The San were semi-nomadic, moving seasonally to access water, edible plants and wildlife. Their rock paintings and carvings are collectively called rock art and are found in caves and rock shelters.
