Ethos African Snippets

What makes a place special and stand apart?

We think it has a lot to do with the experience and the people.

We are constantly telling you that you should book our camps and lodges, here are a few more reasons why …..

CRATER'S EDGE

Crater's Edge has only been open for a few months, but looking at TripAdvisor, they seem to be doing OK.  All reviews are 5 Star!

"Where do I begin? It’s heaven on Earth!! The rooms/tents are so tastefully decorated and comfortable with a lovely fireplace and gorgeous bathtub to soak away all your stress whilst overlooking the magnificent views of Ngorogoro Crater. It’s the epitome of tranquility and being surrounded by nature’s beauty. The food and service was top notch as well. Overall an excellent experience and we will definitely be back again!"  CLICK HERE for more

KAMBAKU

Whether you are new to safaris or have experienced many different places, how a place makes you feel is very important and Kambaku is no exception.

"Wow. What an incredible experience.
We were greeted by the lovely Lalla who was so warm and inviting. She was very attentive and helpful throughout our stay. The staff were all friendly and professional.
The accommodations were exceptional with a large bedroom/sitting area/bar/desk and an enormous bathroom. The shower stall alone was about the size of a bathroom in my house!
The most notable part was (as you would hope it would be!) the safaris. We had the dynamic duo bringing us out twice a day: Guy the ranger and Renny the tracker. Renny was so good at his job, finding a tiny owl in a tree at night with just a flashlight. Guy made the experience extra special. He was knowledgeable, engaging, enthusiastic and funny. Even though we had never been on safari, we knew pretty quickly that our experience was special.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!"  CLICK HERE to read more

KONKAMOYA

We decided that we wanted to get to know Nathan at Konkamoya a bit better, so we asked him a few questions and loved some of his answers.  It is really obvious that he loves what he does and will make your clients experience even more special.  MEET NATHAN

MALAMALA

July is the month South African's celebrate the life of Nelson Mandela. To honour Nelson Mandela's 67 years of public service, people around the world designate 67 minutes of their time to make a difference in the lives of others. 

This year a group of staff from MalaMala spent time with the local community in Mkhuhlu Village and helped them develop a vegetable garden.   READ MORE

MACHABA SAFARIS

For Africa's wildlife to thrive and survive, local communities need to play their part and acknowledge the benefits of conservation and tourism.

When visiting some of the more remote parts of Africa, it isn't always possible to meet some of the locals, but it is possible if you visit Verney's in Hwange National Park.  READ MORE

VIDEO OF THE MONTH

How often do you get to see three of the Big 5 in one sighting?  At MalaMala it does happen.

FUN FACT

Do I look like mom or dad?

You can see in this photograph that the colouration of Southern Giraffes, one of four species of giraffe throughout Africa, can vary quite widely. Their colours can range from a light tan, medium brown, reddish brown, and dark brown. Even within those categories the shade can vary. Generally it's the males that boast a dark brown colour, and they darken as they age, however it is not a guarantee and you may also see dark females or light coloured males.

Thanks to Garonga for this.
