<destinations>From Ngorongoro Crater National Park to Serengeti National Park</destinations>
<totalduration>9 Nights</totalduration>
<startingprice>9,950</startingprice>
<journeyoverview>This is one of our most exciting departures. Built for the photographer who wants stunning results, and a lot of them. By combining these two extraordinary destinations our chances of numerous sightings of cheetahs, lions, black rhinos, leopards, elephants and so much more, are very high. Ngorongoro itself is certainly one of the most spectacular sites on earth. Dramatic dark clouds creep down the blue haze of the crater rim, only to rest on the crater floor against mats of striking marigolds and purple pan weed. Throw in large populations of lions, hyenas, large elephants with impressive tusks and black rhinos and you have a bucket list destination like no other. The Serengeti too is a spectacle to behold. Its vast grasslands provide some of the cleanest picture plains on the continent, peppered with monolithic kopjies that are frequented by lion, cheetah and the occasional leopard.</journeyoverview>

Wildlife density beyond measure, yet its the backdrop of these animals that really makes this place special. Yellow marigolds and purple-pan weed carpet the floor and a blue crater rim meets dark and dramatic clouds above to create an art-scape like no other.

<totalduration>5 Nights</totalduration>

<journeyoverview>Adventure awaits! And what an adventure–a trail is a special experience, the ultimate experience of freedom and the wild. Guided by Andrew, who has a very special connection to Makuleke. He knows every baobab in the area, the most beautiful scenic vistas and it is a place he continuously refers to as his favourite in Africa, smitten with the wondrous fever tree forest and stunning biodiversity. Experience sleep-outs in the bush, the most diverse and remote ecosystem in the Kruger…. let the wild embrace you like the long lost lover it is. Nestled the Limpopo and the Luvuvhu Rivers in the northern section of the Kruger National Park is the Pafuri region, an area spanning 24 000ha (59 305 acres). Within the Pafuri area is the Makuleke Concession, the ancestral home of the Makuleke people and the most diverse and scenically attractive area in the Kruger National Park. So while the wild enchants you, the folklore of early explorers and ancient civilisations will whisper in the wind around you.</journeyoverview>

<destinations>Mana Pools National Park</destinations>
<totalduration>5 Nights</totalduration>
<startingprice>6,950</startingprice>
<journeyoverview>Mana Pools is an extraordinary destination that will appeal to those who truly love Africa. A unique place, where one roams free along the wildlife and where one feels the immensity of nature, on foot next to giants and predators alike. Giant elephant bulls balancing on their hind legs to reach unattainable branches and bring them crashing down. Painted dog packs roam the floodplain and forest, and lions call in the starry night. At this time of year, the bush is dry and water is scarce, which means wildlife will congregate around water sources. As the Zambezi valley awaits the rains, the bush turns into a magical place where animals kick up dust that captures the light in a surreal manner. At sunrise and sundown, golden, pink, orange light filters through the Albida Forest and Ana trees, and the pulse of African magic will beat through your heart. This safari is for those who love light, wildlife, adventure. It is for those who have an eye for beauty and who enjoy sitting and listening to the world around. Photographers, non-photographers are welcome, sense of adventure and passion for the bush are all that are needed. The safari is designed to be as immersive as possible, spending time wandering around the forests and banks of the Zambezi in search of elephants, wild dogs, lions, and any creature that catches the light. Every day is different in the enchanted forest, or on the floodplain, and we enjoy the comfort of spending quality time in a beautiful location, having the opportunity to sit back and relax whilst enjoying all the Zambezi Valley has to offer.</journeyoverview>

Light that would make angels weep. The mighty Zambezi River, 4 pools that retain water in the dry season, endless incredible opportunities to roam free alongside wildlife, on foot. Wild dogs, elephants balancing on the hind legs to reach towering branches, hippos in the golden light, lions calling in the night. Mana Pools is wild, raw, magical, and the dream for any lover of the true African experience.
