The reason most of us go on holiday is for the experience, and going on safari in Africa is not short of experiences. The difficult part is finding what makes one safari more unique than another.
This month we are highlighting just some of the unique experiences offered by our various clients

If you are new to an Africa safari, sitting in an open vehicle with a ranger and tracker looking for game can be an adrenalin inducing experience, and quite enough.
However, for me I love the opportunity to get out of the vehicle and to explore on foot. You may not encounter any of the big game, as they usually disappear and hide before you do notice them, but you do get to see so much more. It is an opportunity to touch and feel, smell and taste and generally see things totally differently.
Every morning the delicious aroma of freshly ground coffee wafts through the air at Neptune Ngorongoro Luxury Lodge. Being located in the middle of a coffee plantation, known the world over as producing some of the finest coffee is a real privilege. It awakens the senses as not only does the coffee smell delicious, but the plantation ensures stunning views across the hills.
MalaMala has a global reputation for its incredible Big Five wildlife experience. The density of game on one of the largest and most pristine land areas in South Africa is truly breathtaking. As if this wasn’t enough, MalaMala are trailblazing the community ownership model for generations to come. This makes MalaMala the ideal place for families to come together to really understand the African bush, the wildlife and the importance to the local community. We must educate our children now - Instill a passion and a sense of responsibility in them - for the long term survival of our planet’s many natural wonders.
Machaba is the Setswana name for the Sycamore Fig tree whose fruit attracts animals from afar.
At Machaba Safaris we know that it’s not only the tree and her animals that need our protection, which is why we lend our support to the fragile local communities whose people have lived in these remote regions for centuries.

Blue Flag beaches are some of the best in the world and Cape St Francis beach can now lay claim to this coveted status. This international accreditation ensures that visitors can be confident with the water quality, the access for all, and that it meets high environmental and international sustainability standards.
Despite their reputation as the world’s most fearless animals, honey badgers try to avoid trouble. I have seen them bolt for a hole after sniffing fresh lion or leopard tracks.
Honey badgers usually only attack when surprised by predators, which often happens when they are digging – with poor eyesight and their noses in the ground, they can be oblivious to their surroundings. When startled they rush at their assailants, releasing a potent scent from their anal glands, rattling and standing tall with their hackles raised. This usually scares the predator away. Even if a badger is caught, its loose skin enables it to twist round and bite its attacker.
