Being South African born, the natural beauty of the African continent is something you forget to appreciate from time to time. Especially when it’s all work and no play! And then, just when you think it’s business as usual, you’re approached by your colleague who asks, “Are you free next week?”. Having never had the opportunity to go on a luxury African safari before, I jumped at the opportunity to join my team on a trip to the Sabi Sand Game Reserve. Just the thought of being able to spend two nights at the acclaimed Chitwa Chitwa Game Lodge was a dream come true!

Chitwa Chitwa Game Lodge: A Classic Safari Dream

From the second we arrived, I could feel the warm, welcoming embrace of the Chitwa Chitwa Game Lodge staff. Ice-cold drinks in hand, we make our way inside. Here, the tasteful blend of contemporary and classic safari style coupled with close attention to detail let me know we’re in for a treat! My first luxury safari has barely even started, and already it’s so much more than I had expected.

According to legend, the story of Chitwa Chitwa goes something like this…

There was once a giraffe that shared the lodge’s lakeside home. And the Brink family became so accustomed to the ageing bull visiting that he became an extended family member. To this day, you can still feel him presiding watchfully over the lodge. And it’s this essence that’s also captured in their logo.

Chitwa House: Our Home for Two Nights

After our refreshing welcome, we’re shown our home for the next few days, the glorious Chitwa House. The warm earthy tones complemented by chic African inspired décor make the whole villa feel warm and inviting. Let’s not forget the fully stocked mini-bar. I mean, that made me feel oh-so at home!

And, to top it all off, the villa has its own beautifully appointed private patio with an unobstructed view of the watering hole. I sit for a minute, taking in the view and just letting the sounds of the bush wash over me. As far as first safaris go, this one is off to a fabulous start!

A Chitwa Chitwa Safari Experience for the Books

We head out to the game drive vehicle, wrapped up in warm layers and buzzing with excitement. Our guide, Daniel, introduces us to our tracker, Betuel. And then we’re off on the first game drive of my first safari!

I cannot contain my excitement. The vegetation is lush and full of life. Being new to the safari experience, I pipe up with all of my 50+ questions about the bush, which Daniel answers dutifully, exhibiting his clear knowledge and experience.

Starting each day out in nature is undoubtedly the best way to start any day. The feeling you get out on the game drive vehicle as the first rays of the sun warm your skin, the fresh, aromatic smells of the bush waking up your senses. And the best part is that no two game drives are the same. Every time you head out, you know you’ll have a unique experience.

Spotting The Big 5 For The First Time

The first animal we encounter is – can you believe it – a mama elephant and her calf. Completely unfazed by us, they continue grazing on the lush foliage. I sit in awe of their size and majestic beauty. Their skin, wrinkled and weathered, hinting at their ancient wisdom.

Can you think of a better surprise than just casually bumping into a mighty rhino? Because I can’t! A sight considered so rare, I can’t help but to feel privileged to see not one, but three of these incredible, endangered creatures. These Chitwa Chitwa bush experts really know how to create magical moments!

Leopard Land

The Sabi Sand is known to be leopard land. And as they say, sometimes you need to see to believe. We’re lucky to spot two leopards, Kuchava, a stunning female leopard, and her six-month-old cub! I feel entranced watching them dart playfully in and out of the long grass, leaping and bounding.

Like nearly any safari-goer, big cats are at the top of my list. To say Chitwa Chitwa delivers on sightings would be the understatement of the year! Daniel allows us a perfect up-close view of Blondie and Mohawk while these two Northern Avoca brothers enjoy their afternoon siesta.

Suddenly startled, Mohawk raises his head, hearing something only fine-tuned ears would be able to detect. He rises and calls, and Blondie follows his lead. I can feel the rolling waves of pure power leave their maws. The vibrations shake the entire vehicle. I can feel tears forming in my eyes. Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined a sensory experience so spectacular.

An Experience to be Had at Chitwa Chitwa Safari Lodge

People can try to explain what a luxury African safari is like to you. However, without experiencing it for yourself, you will never truly understand.

It’s incredible how different the sensory experience of an African safari is. The sights, the smells, the taste – and the crunch of a few bugs – it’s all something everyone should get to experience in their lifetime.

My first safari experience was something I can confidently say I will never forget. Chitwa Chitwa Game Lodge treated us to some truly spectacular sightings. Our luxury safari was unlike anything I had experienced before in my life. I only wish that I had done it sooner!

Silvan Safari’s Lion Prides: Introducing The Mighty Nkuhuma and Avoca Males

Silvan Safari

0 comments

By Nigel Ridge on July 29, 2021July 29, 2021

One of the most incredible sightings to see on safari is lions, and Silvan Safari’s lion prides are no exception. In fact, they exceed expectations.

There’s possibly nothing more heart-stirring than seeing 15 plus individual lions swaggering down the road towards you or spread across the open plain. Or, even better yet, fighting over a fresh kill.

Meet the Nkuhuma Pride

The pride most frequently seen around Silvan is called the Nkuhuma pride. And yes, this pride is large. In fact, with 26 lions, it’s safe to say that it is the biggest pride currently in the Sabi Sand Private Game Reserve.

This pride consists of two dominant males (known as the Avoca males), seven adult female lions, and ten sub-adult cubs (ranging from about 12 to 16 months). Recently, seven new additions, which are now about 10 to 12 weeks old, joined the pride. In short, it’s the most powerful and one of the most confident lion prides I’ve had the privilege of ever witnessing.

Thrilling Lion Sightings at Silvan Safari

Lions are not known for being the most active and energetic animals. Like everybody knows, they are particularly partial to lazing about most days and even large portions of the night. They are big cats, after all! But the sightings that this pride can provide, when timed right, are second to none.

I have experienced everything from 19 lions walk right past the safari vehicle to the lionesses and cubs all climbing trees and playing. But possibly the most impressive sightings are when you catch them either bringing down or busy feasting on a buffalo. Since this is a large pride, their skill in killing buffalo is incredible. It’s almost like the pride’s signature, and the pride’s females are formidably successful hunters. Therefore, being around them while this is taking place is a shock to the senses. The sound of the growling and fighting and the dominant roaring is genuinely something to behold.

We were lucky enough to find them in time where three of the seven lionesses managed to bring down a massive buffalo bull. It was a fantastic experience to see the whole hunt, from start to finish. Later on that day, we revisited the site where they had killed the buffalo, and the most precious unexpected sighting awaited us. For the first time, they had introduced the seven-week-old cubs (at the time) to the kill site.

Fearless Avoca Males

The Avoca males are a strong, dominant and fierce coalition. They are always pushing their territory further and further afield, vocalising and marking as they go. “Mo-hawk”, as we call him due to the lack of mane in certain areas, is a powerful individual with his brother “Blondie” not far behind backing him up. Blondie does have a limp but, trust me when I say that he can move and move fast.

This coalition is powerful, but I fear that they may be pushing too far afield, biting off more than they can chew by ignoring and not sufficiently monitoring most parts of the northern territory. They are very focused on the Birmingham males in the southern region of the Sabi Sand Reserve, as they do pose direct competition to these two.

Birmingham Boys

The Birmingham boys still have fight in them and must not be underestimated. The demise of the Avoca males or even one could drastically change the dynamics of the pride in the area with new males constantly looking to take over.

Many people think lions are the kings of the jungle or, better yet, kings of the savannah. But, in my opinion, lions have one of the most challenging lives out in the African bush. The constant fighting for dominance and survival amongst each other is hard. I’ve seen healthy, strong, and dominant prides rise and fall very quickly due to the change in males or pride numbers getting too large.

At this present time, the Nkuhuma pride and Avoca males lions are among the greatest, largest, and most powerful prides and coalitions in the Sabi Sand, but for how long? Only time will tell, and we all can’t wait to see what happens next!

Our Top Child-Friendly Lodges in Africa

It can be both wonderful and difficult for a child on safari. The wonder obviously lies in the adventure and the animals, and the difficulty lies in keeping quiet and fidget-free for long periods. This is why it’s so important to know the best child-friendly lodges when planning a family safari in Africa.

I remember being ordered to sit silently in a hide next to a waterhole in Zimbabwe when I was twelve, and it was one of the most challenging things I had ever done, or, according to my parents, didn’t do. It is for such reasons that many of the luxury lodges in Africa don’t cater for children under age 16. But there are several that do.

And they do it remarkably well! Think bushwalks, junior ranger training, butterfly/fish/insect catch-and-release, arts, crafts, games and special game drives.

“Children will not remember you for the material things you provided but for the feeling that you cherished them.” – Richard L. Evans

Our Top Child-Friendly Lodges in Africa

Here are our favourite child-friendly lodges in Africa that will welcome your little ones with open arms. They have several facilities and activities tailored to keep the rascals busy and inspired until they pass out in their cosy safari beds for the night.

Where To Go On Safari Away From The Crowds And Why

Botswana,Experiences,Great Migration,Kenya,Kruger National Park,Safari,South Africa,Tanzania

5 comments

By Thanda Mhlanga on March 13, 2018November 24, 2023

There’s no denying the appeal of a private African safari away from crowds of fellow travellers. You journey to the wild to immerse yourself in the grand vastness of untouched nature, to be bathed in sunlight as you meander (never walk, that’s suburban) while the Lion King soundtrack inexplicably echoes from a bush. Now imagine basking in this, your lifelong dream come true, and seeing from the corner of your eye… humans. But, like, a lot of them. This is not what you signed up for; you’ve gone to the WILD for crying out loud.

As fellow tourists, we know the perils of being thrust among throngs of our own kind. And because we understand, we’ve come up with ideas for how you can explore the hordes while avoiding the masses.

1. Go Camping (But In Style)

Remember the time you had to set-up a tent in full view of an overachieving family of life-long campers? Remember how judgy they were as it took you several attempts to set it up? Remember how a loved-one had to wrestle a wild boar to redeem your family’s honour? Yes, Rick, we too have been there.

To avoid this scenario, let the experts do the technical stuff and enjoy a more private safari experience. Places like Mara Plains Camp in Kenya provide the tents, the sights and the modern comforts from their backyard in the wilderness. Built to complement its riverine forest setting, it’s one of only five camps in the Olare Motorogi Conservancy bordering Maasai Mara Game Reserve. As a result, there is a low density of tourism vehicles, which provides the ultimate safari experience.

2. Go On Photo Safari (And Get Some Help)

We love a stylishly-captured car bonnet as much as the next amateur photographer; sometimes all a picture needs (especially a lucky snap of a once-in-a-lifetime black rhino sighting) is the outline of a hatchback. But just in case you want to try the minimalist approach – with just the wildlife – a photographic safari somewhere remote might do the trick.

Private game reserves and safari lodges like Singita in Kruger National Park and Royal Malewane employ rangers and trackers who are also wildlife photographers and who can help you capture one-of-a-kind safari snaps.

Ulusaba Cliff Lodge and Ulusaba Rock Lodge are just two properties offering photographic safaris in the Sabi Sand and have packages that include professional photographers to assist and guide you in capturing those special moments.

3. Honeymoon In The Wild (The Luxurious Way)

A private African safari is not only a great way to rejuvenate emotionally and spiritually, it can help you recover from pre-wedding stress (and the horror that was your drunk uncle’s wedding reception toast). Getting to relax and rediscover one another in a natural setting that inspires wonder and gratitude is why a honeymoon safari is the best way to start your marriage. It’s also an opportunity to do cool things like staring overlong into sunsets and whispering meaningful at the sky – while on a deck.

If tranquil is what you’re after, the Lion Sands in Sabi Sand Game Reserve is a great choice. You can spend nights in a magic treehouse observing the night sky and days on safari in search of the famous Big 5.

&Beyond‘s range of lodges in Botswana’s Okavango Delta offer gorgeous combinations of luxury, romance and wilderness. Xaranna Okavango Delta Camp is considered the Delta’s most luxurious safari experience and Sandibe Okavango Safari Lodge‘s collection of cottages, designed to organically blend into the surrounding nature, are the height of escapism while on safari, it often makes the list of Africa’s most romantic destinations.

4. Book Your Guide To The Wild

Getting away somewhere remote (even if that’s the whole point) can be scary. You can have your safari away from crowds experience without being completely abandoned – private guides are great way to mitigate some of the stress and anxiety. They will stick with you, your family or group for the length of your holiday, ensuring that you get to see Africa’s Big 5 in action and whatever other experiences you might desire. They will:

Help optimise your game viewing and wilderness experience by taking you to diverse locations
Share their wide-ranging expertise – like photography and tracking
Answer all your questions and see to your special requests
Act as liaison between you and various lodges
Help you get a deeper understanding of Africa and a richer experience of its cultures and history

Our Top 5 Photographic Safaris in the Sabi Sand

Kruger National Park,Photography & Videos,Safari,South Africa

By Melanie Du Toit on July 4, 2016November 21, 2019

The only thing that might be missing from a safari experience in the Sabi Sand Reserve is a photograph that does justice to the wonders witnessed. Sharing an unfenced border with the Kruger National Park and its abundant wildlife, there are sure to be endless photo-worthy moments with Africa’s Big 5 all in attendance and an impressive array of bird species. Unsurprisingly, such visions crave documentation – which is easily available in the reserve thanks to the specialised photographic safaris on offer. Here are our top 5 favourite picks:

Londolozi offers memorable Photographic Safaris — Image Credit: Londolozi

Nkorho Bush Lodge

A 4-day Digital Photographic Course will ensure safari goers leave Nkorho Bush Lodge with happy hearts and full SD cards. The course is presented by award-winning wildlife photographers who accompany guests on twice-daily game drives. These excursions take place in a private vehicle with an expert ranger and tracker team who will ensure you have plenty of subject-matter for your lens. Set off before the sun is up – a prime time for game-spotting – and break for a refreshment out in the field to help keep that camera hand steady until breakfast.

An informative lecture is also on offer covering optimum settings for image formats, camera basics, and digital workflow detailing the process from camera to computer, image optimisation and more. On the second drive of the day, a sundowner break will ensure you don’t become too preoccupied that you miss soaking up the ambience (though you may have to put your drink down to try your talents on an African sunset).

Londolozi

One of a kind and cutting edge, a photographic safari in the renowned Londolozi Reserve is entirely tailored to your interests. Whether it is botany, birding, or capturing images of those magnificent big cats – leopards being particularly well sighted in the area – the talented team at Londolozi will make sure you leave with photographs to last a lifetime. This stretch of African expanse has been the scene of numerous National Geographic and Animal Planet documentaries – and now your own personal documentary can be a part of it, too! Telling stories through photographs is a way of life here, and with the added benefit of their on-site Photographic Studio, visitors can pre-book sessions and equipment before arriving for their Big 5 safari getaway.

Cheetah Plains

The intimate and relaxing Cheetah Plains lodge and reserve is home to specially-designed photographic vehicles and seats, permitting only 4 photographers per vehicle. The vehicle’s unique swivel chairs are specifically adapted and ensure that all safari-goers can capture the same image at the same time – completely unobstructed. Their photographic safaris are also ideally complemented by their birding safaris. This Sabi Sand safari experience is led by a guide who is gifted with intrinsic knowledge of the reserve and the art of photography.

Sabi Sabi

Led by a professional photographer, amateur and seasoned snappers will make their way through the bush in search of the perfect shot following which the photographer is on hand to help review the image and lead post-processing. Visitors can shift from an elephant-portrait showcasing the gentle giant’s ears at full spread to an extreme close-up of a hornbill’s patterned feathers. The photographic safari option at Sabi Sabi is available on request and must be pre-booked in advance to ensure that guests get the most out of their experience here. Gear hire is also available.

Waterholes are sure to give you the best shots — Image Credit: Sabi Sabi

Kirkman’s Camp

With experienced guides who double as experienced photographers, safari goers at Kirkman’s Camp can dive into the wealth of knowledge available to them from advice on shutter speed, lenses, and filters to angles and lighting. While holding your breath in anticipation of that perfect shot, allow your rangers to impart their extensive local knowledge of the area and its wildlife on you. Be sure to capture everything in between as this pristine landscape offers up a perfect backdrop of forms and colours illuminated by sunlight filtering through the fresh clean air. This unique safari experience is sure to enrich all future adventures.

The Magical Treehouses of Lion Sands

Kruger National Park,Safari,South Africa,Travel Tips

3 comments

By Melanie Du Toit on June 27, 2016November 24, 2023

For those with an adventurous spirit, a romantic soul, or a heart longing to escape from their day-to-day, there are a few magical places to be found hidden among the scatterings of trees within Lion Sands, a 7,000ha African wilderness forming part of the Sabi Sand Reserve. These alluring treehouses put travellers eye-level with some of the area’s 500 different species of bird while evoking a sense of childish nostalgia coupled with intoxicating romance.

Whether it’s in Chalkley Treehouse, appointed around the trunk of a 500-year-old leadwood tree; Tinyeleti Treehouse, overlooking the Sabie River; or Kingston Treehouse, whose deck skims the top of surrounding trees – guests are promised a secluded night beneath a sky bursting with stars. Here, the secret world that is the savannah after dark is yours.

A stay at each treehouse begins shortly before sunset where guests are greeted with a delectable picnic dinner and accompanying drinks after being shown around their bush bedroom. Savouring this feast al fresco from their lofty perch, intrepid travellers will no doubt consider their place in this vast expanse while daylight fades across the horizon – just as it has every day since this sanctuary was created and even longer before that.

Lion Sands’ treehouses had their inception at the large leadwood tree Chalkley Treehouse now rests against. This is the same tree that Guy Chalkley, the original custodian of this paradise, set up camp in to evade roaming predators. He would have looked out over a vista as immaculate as the one before you, altered only by the seasons and the ever-turning cycles of nature.

The cooing of doves combined gently with the chirping of insects form a charming dinner-time serenade that lulls the sun gently below the horizon. Though a spectacular African sunset savoured from these secluded spots might seem like they can’t be topped, the stars, naturally, are the stars of the show.

Another soundtrack for the evening is the low murmur of antelope and a distant lion’s roar, while the rumblings of passing elephants below reverberate across the landscape. Simply drift off counting satellites and shooting stars as they arc across the sky, secure in the knowledge that a dedicated field guide is at the nearby lodge and only a radio call away. When the night is over, wake to the pre-dawn cries of the jackal.

After being part of the awakening wild and absorbing the morning sunrise with a steaming cup of coffee, it is time to descend. The morning game drive that begins once you reach the ground and pauses midway for a bush breakfast is the perfect salve to ease the pang that accompanies coming back down to earth after a night in heaven.

Big Adventures for small Safari Adventurers at… Ulusaba

Safari,South Africa

0 comments

By Melanie Du Toit on April 28, 2016September 21, 2022

Ulusaba Rock Lodge’s name translates to ‘the place of little fear’, given by ancient Shangaan warriors who used the boulder-strewn koppie on which part of it rests as a lookout post in centuries gone by. Today it not only welcomes new and veteran safari-goers but those visitors who come in a more ‘diminutive’ form, reaffirming Ulusaba’s status as a haven promising plenty of discovery while leaving little to fear. Ulusaba’s Cub’s Club features specially tailored activities for children and ensures that a dizzying amount of excitement is in store from the minute their tiny feet touch the savannah in this private sector of Sabi Sand Game Reserve.

Children are welcome at Ulusaba

Safari holidays have had a reputation in the past for not being conducive to a family holiday. At Ulusaba, a dedicated team of staff and a comprehensive kids programme ensure that this most certainly is not the case, proving that a safari can be enjoyed by even the smallest of enthusiasts. While parents are trundling through the wilderness in search of the Big 5 and making the most of their well-deserved break, kids are kept busy and entertained back at the lodge. Cubs can make their days their own and decide on their itineraries for their stay in the bush.

Upon arrival at Ulusaba, cubs are greeted with a safari backpack filled with everything they’ll need for their whirlwind safari adventure. With an Ulusaba cap protecting little heads from the harsh sun, these small adventurers embark on a treasure hunt around the lodge designed to familiarise cubs with their new surroundings.

Under the careful and friendly gaze of a guide and tracker, cubs may find themselves trekking (not too far) into the 13,500ha Ulusaba Private Game Reserve which forms part of the Greater Kruger Area on a mini-rangers course and bush walk. Here they will learn about the bush and how to identify animals from the tracks and dung droppings they’ve left behind.

Ulusaba Safari Lodge has many surprises to keep children entertained

Even dinner time turns into a fun affair with Safari MasterChef courses allowing little ones to try their hand at making pizza and baking cookies (the latter of which can be enjoyed at tea time or while listening to African-themed bedtime stories). Kid-friendly meals are also on offer as the staff at Ulusaba understand that cubs don’t have quite the same appetite as full-grown members of their pride might.

At night, parents can rest easy knowing that there are 24/hr security guards patrolling the premises who will pay extra attention to any peeps and murmurs that might come from rooms with cubs in them.

Other activities around the lodge include afternoons at the swimming pool, with an experienced swimmer on hand to supervise; as well as rock painting and coloured sand art. For those days when cubs would rather stay in than out, Ulusaba boasts an array of current and classic DVDs, CDs, and even a Nintendo Wii—ensuring that kids can still be active, even when indoors.

Ulusaba's zebras are sure to be a treat to spot for children — Ulusaba’s zebras are sure to be a treat to spot for children

Between board games, puzzles, cards, and learning traditional South African games that cubs can take home with them—there won’t be a moment of fun to spare. And when the little tykes are tired out from a hard day spent adventuring? A unique cub’s spa treatment is sure to help them unwind.

Are you ready to take your family on the adventure of a lifetime? Contact one of our worldly Rhino Africa consultants today to find out more, and visit Ulusaba’s website to see what else they have to offer.

Please note

Ulusaba’s Cub’s Club is open to cubs between the ages of 0-11 years and babysitting services are available at no extra charge.

Children over the age of six may accompany their family on game drives.

We do advise pre-booking as this activity may be subject to season and availability.

Through the Lens With Joseph Hsiao

Botswana,Cape Town,Kruger National Park

By Matthew Sterne on April 28, 2015November 20, 2019

Joseph and Deanna Hsiao from Massachusetts recently visited Southern Africa where they celebrated Joseph’s birthday. They started their trip in Cape Town at Cape Royale and from there went on to Idube Safari Lodge in the Sabi Sand and then Victoria Falls Safari Lodge in Victoria Falls. “Africa has been on our radar for a long time. When it came time to plan our journey we were quickly overwhelmed with choices and operators. Rhino Africa certainly made that process much easier” Joseph said. The trip was expertly planned and organised by Samantha, one of our senior consultants.

“We enjoyed every part of the trip from Cape Town to Sabi Sand to Victoria Falls. Each destination gave us different perspectives and experiences. Southern Africa is truly an amazing place and I hope to visit again sooner rather than later.”

On the trip Joseph took some incredibly engaging and striking photographs of the wildlife as well as their activities. It is his video of their holiday, however, that is especially captivating. Joseph captured their entire journey in rich detail in this short and inspiring video. You can watch the video and see the photos below;

If you want to experience all of the beauty the Hsiao’s saw in Africa, why not try a trip from the Cape to Kruger National Park, or add Victoria Falls and the Okavango Delta to your itinerary. If there are other parts of Africa that you want to explore let us know!

The Remmert Family African Adventure

Kruger National Park,South Africa

The Remmert Family recently travelled with us on an awesome African adventure planned by our travel consultant Bianca Johnstone. Back home now, they sent us some words about their trip.

“We returned yesterday from our wonderful adventure in Africa. It was an awesome experience for all of us. As Pete said, the memories of this trip will be with us for the rest of our lives. We want to thank you for your guidance every step of the way.

Londolozi Varty Camp was truly amazing. I still cannot believe the extent of their personal attention. They planned surprises for us every day, including a complete breakfast, prepared and served in the bush, a traditional African Potjie dinner, a night of African music and dance, a remote tree house sleepover in the bush with all 11 of the kids (14-30 years old), and an amazing reception prepared in the bush on our last evening there, complete with lanterns, hors d’oeurves, our favorite Veuve Cliquot champagne, and a visit with Shan and Dave Varty.

The Remmert Family — This is a picture of our family with our rangers and trackers. It was taken as we were leaving Londolozi, headed to Singita. Beginning on the left, bottom row is James, Laura, tracker Richard, Fred, ranger James, Missy, Bob, Audrey, Tyler, Shannon, tracker Mike and Pete. The next row is Cathy, Chris Lily, Sam, ranger Sean and Gracie. The top row is Chloe, Noah and Tracy. Somehow, I ended up on top.

The planning by Georgia, Kerry and staff helped make James proposal to Laura a magical event. The were taken to a secluded treetop location in the bush, complete with colorful cushions, a lovely lunch, champagne and roses. As I understand it, James proposed as they watched elephants below them. I am sure it will be a highlight in their lives together.

The food and the way it was presented at Londolozi was impeccable. We absolutely loved that everything was prepared and ready for us at every meal. There was no ordering and waiting for a meal and everyone could enjoy sampling all the wonderful choices. Vegetarians and meat eaters alike were delighted at each meals offerings. I have been to many fine hotels and resorts all over the world and have never experienced this sort of treatment.

Londolozi’s staff, including rangers, trackers, butlers, management and general staff were amazing. Everyone bonded with the rangers and trackers, who proceeded to open our eyes to the wonder of the African bush. To be so close to animals we had only seen in books and movies was truly amazing. We loved the freedom that they have been given at Londolozi by the Varty family to explore the bush.

Everything at Londolozi absolutely filled us with wonder. They obviously put much thought into every moment of our stay and further, carried out their plans with friendly and joy filled attitudes. They truly made us feel like we were part of their family. I would highly recommend Londolozi to anyone and hope to be able to return one day.

Singita was also wonderful. The property is exquisite, the food delicious and the staff attentive. The animal sightings were wondrous and the rangers and trackers were so knowledgeable and personable, just as they were at Londolozi.

Thank you Bianca for all you did to make our adventure such a wonderful event. We will never forget it.

With gratitude,
Cheryl”

Happy Birthday Nelson Mandela! From Rhino Africa

South Africa

9 comments

By Tamlin Wightman on July 18, 2012May 9, 2017

“For to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.”

What Does Mandela Mean To You?

Trying to write something about Tata Madiba feels a bit like trying to write wedding vows. Or how I imagine it to be. You don’t want to be trite about it. But the pressure somewhat cripples you. So, as often happens with vows, you start off writing about how difficult it was to write…

Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela is a special man, not just to us in South Africa, but Africa as a whole. The world as a whole. He’s a legend and a landmark. A man both grand and humble to whom we owe so much – not just crazy shirts.

Today is his 94th birthday.

In November 2009, the United Nations General Assembly declared 18 July Nelson Mandela International Day to honour his birthday. It was the first time the United Nations had ever designated a day dedicated to a person…

He gave us 67 Years – Give back just 67 Minutes

The objective behind Mandela Day is not only to celebrate the man but also to inspire individuals to take action to help change the world for the better. Mandela gave 67 years of his life to bring change to South Africa’s people – he was devoted to public service, a human rights lawyer, a prisoner of conscience, an international peacemaker and the first democratically elected President of South Africa.

Every year on 18 July, individuals and organisations are encouraged to spend only 67 minutes helping others… Read more here. What are you doing for Mandela Day? Tell us in the comments section below!

A Man of Nature

Madiba’s influence infiltrates every part of the South African nation. Even having moved out of the public eye in old age, he’s still here. In the people, locals and tourists. In the land, urban and rural. In the animals. His decisions, his hope and positivity shows throughout, even in places like the Sabi Sand…

Madiba saw the value in conserving our natural environment. He saw the value in bringing tourism to South Africa. More particularly to us in travel and conservation, he contributed to the way we now experience southern Africa’s game reserves.

“There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered.”

Along with other visionaries, Mandela had the vision to join the reserves of South Africa, Zimbabwe and Mozambique “to establish a single park that links our countries and our peoples. That would be a victory not only for more cohesive management of our region’s ecology, but a concrete symbol of regional unity and a spur to development,” as he said in a speech at the 1998 Kruger National Park Centenary Celebrations.

On 10 November 10, 2000 this vision was realised. The governments of South Africa, Zimbabwe and Mozambique signed an agreement putting the project in motion. Many fences between the parks (including the Limpopo National Park in Mozambique, Kruger National Park in South Africa, and Gonarezhou National Park, Manjinji Pan Sanctuary and Malipati Safari Area in Zimbabwe) have been taken down, letting the animals, inhabitants and visitors move around more freely and in harmony.

DID YOU KNOW: During the National Parks Centenary he stayed at one of our favourite private game reserves, Londolozi, and said this: “There, I saw people of all races living in harmony amid the beauty that mother nature offers. Londolozi represents a model of the dream I cherish for the future of nature preservation in our country.” Read more about this great occasion here on Londolozi’s Blog.

“The greatest glory in living
lies not in never falling,
but in rising every time we fall.”
– Nelson Mandela

You are in our hearts Madiba and have changed our lives forever.

An Incredible Sabi Sand Safari: Part III – Londolozi Founders & Pioneer Camps

Kruger National Park,South Africa

or – How I bagged a future wife – Part III

Having taken the big step and received the answer I wanted, you might think it was all over. You would be wrong. This was the safari of a lifetime and that meant there was still more awesomeness to come in the form of Londolozi Game Reserve. Our time at Lion Sands Ivory Lodge was about getting into the groove and the vibe of the African bush, Singita Ebony was the crux of the affair with me bending the knee, while our two nights at Londolozi was the honeymoon period!

High on life and happiness, we arrived at Londolozi and our hosts at Founders Camp, Kirsten and Jess, were determined to keep up the romance already piled on so heavily at our first two stops. The first big surprise came in the form of Pioneer Camp, while we were still hosted at Founders, eating our meals and leaving for game drives from there, we were able to sleep in the superb suites at Pioneer. Not that the suites of Founders Camp aren’t luxurious enough, having recently undergone a renovation, but don’t look a gifted horse in the mouth they say.

Safari Tip:
If you want to find out all about the Kruger National Park, the private game reserves on it’s borders and the best places to stay, a good start would be to watch the Rhino Africa Kruger Park introduction video on our Youtube channel.

Kruger National Park Video

Here, kitty kitty kitty

Londolozi is known as the leopard capital, but for us it was the lion capital. We saw lion cubs, a coalition of three males and a mating pair going at it. Lions certainly have stamina; they have a romp every fifteen minutes for up to five days! On our last evening we followed the thee males and they decided to investigate our vehicle. We were sitting in the back seat and they came over to sniff the exhaust just below our feet. Tessa nearly ended up in our ranger Julius’ (aka ‘Croc’) lap.

Not that we didn’t see leopard; we’d seen a female leopard on a kill within fifteen minutes of our first game drive. At all the lodges in the Sabi Sand they employ various methods of identifying leopards and at Londolozi they have been doing it for longer than anyone else; if you don’t believe me, check out the Leopards of Londolozi website for a closer look and while you’re there you can have a look at Vomba 3:3 Young Female, the leopard we saw on two occasions during our stay here. Interestingly enough this is the exact same leopard I saw on a previous trip to Londolozi in September 2010. I’m developing a serious soft spot for this beautiful girl…

Fun Photo Tip:
If you have a camera and a pair of binoculars you can combine the two to snap some fun and interesting photos.

Yet more romance!

The staff at Londolozi were determined to match (or even outdo) the levels of romance we had experienced so far on our trip. On our first game drive we turned a corner as the sun was setting and there on a rock on the riverside amidst lanterns was a glowing table with our evening sunset drinks. A private sun-downer on the rocks… maybe I should have waited. Although I’m pretty sure I would have been a nervous wreck by this stage!

Our second evening there was yet another foam bath, scattered rose petals and another private dinner. Good grief these guys were determined to ruin us for romance for life! I’ll never be able to outdo this trip; the only solution is to go the opposite route. For our honeymoon, we’re going camping!

If you haven’t already read them you can find Part I and Part II on our blog.

A huge thank you to Bronwyn, Boyd, Richard, Julius, Richard our tracker, Jess, Kirsten and Freddie.

An Incredible Sabi Sand Safari: Part II – Singita Ebony Lodge

Kruger National Park,South Africa

or – How I bagged a future wife – Part II

After a fantastic start to our safari at Lion Sands Ivory Lodge and a not so fantastic start to my bid to bag a future wife (read why in Part I), I was determined that I would get it right, sooner rather than later. Although there were still four nights left on our safari the stress and nerves were starting to get to me, I was even dropping things… and by now the burning sensation from the ring had me patting my pocket repeatedly. She was sure to catch on if I didn’t get this right, soon!

So on arriving at Singita Ebony Lodge for the second part of our safari, meeting Monique, our host, and Shadrack, our smiling Butler, and being suitably blown away by our accommodation, I took Monique aside for a private word. Enthusiasm was catching and she simply said; “leave it to me”.

Top Safari Tip:
Dress warmly. Seriously, it gets cold in the mornings and evenings and the wind chill factor on an open safari vehicle is hectic. No matter the time of year, take enough warm clothes for game drives and no, it doesn’t matter if your look like an eskimo, the animals won’t mind.

Opulence and Great Game Viewing

Singita Ebony is a colourful lodge in a colonial style; warm reds abound and that’s not just the colour of the décor, there’s also a wine list several feet long. The best bits by far are the rotating fire place, which is lit to warm your suite before you return from your evening game drive, and the heated pool with a view of the river. We spent several hours one afternoon swimming and watching a breeding herd of elephant feeding in the river below. Africa doesn’t get much better than that. Although a full body massage was also a highlight 🙂

The afternoon of our arrival we met Marc, our ranger, a great character who is quick to share his love of the bush with his guests, and Mish our tracker who could find a needle in a haystack. I would recommend these two to anyone visiting Singita Sabi Sand. While we didn’t see any leopard at Singita, we did track down some animals that I had always wanted to see. Amongst those a pack of wild dogs and their pups was the highlight. These rare dogs are endangered and because of their constant movement are particularly hard to find, it took us three game drives but we eventually found them – and what a sighting!

On one late night game drive a Verreaux’s Eagle Owl turned up with its distinctive pink eyelids, Spotted Eagle Owl, Genet, White Tailed Mongoose, Side Striped Jackal, two male Lion and best of all the elusive Civet. The sunset drinks breaks were proving a hit with safari-virgin Tessa and our drink of choice – that notable safari tipple, the gin and tonic had by now become a tradition. Sunsets over the Blyde River Canyon in the distance were simply breathtaking.

Top Safari Tip:
While we won’t emphatically say you shouldn’t drink anything else, round here we hold the gin and tonic to be the ultimate safari drink with its roots in colonial explorer days.

The Moment Comes!

Our first evening we were escorted to our dinner venue by Shadrack and what a venue, it was perfect. A small boma alongside the main pool had been cleared out for our exclusive use. The trees around the pool were sprouting oil lamps like glowing fruit; there must have been thirty of them. Two outdoor heaters kept the inside of the boma toasty and there were enough tea-light candles scattered about to be a definite fire risk. My pocket too was aflame, the ring wanted to come out.

Our meal was fantastic, I thought my nerves would spoil the taste of the food… but Singita’s food is on a par with the top restaurants in Cape Town. Champagne flowed and each course was paired with a wine, I’m not ashamed to admit, I needed the Dutch courage!

Between mains and dessert I panicked a bit. You see, I had told Shadrack to allow for a break somewhere around dessert, but in my nervous state I had forgotten whether I had asked for the break before or after dessert… and was it just my imagination or was dessert taking an age to arrive. There was nothing for it but to take the plunge!

So there I was down on one knee, ring in hand, asking the question I had planned for so very long and her answer?

“Shadrack, oh!”

You see I had made a small error. Shadrack walked around the corner with a delicious chocolate fondant in his hands at that very moment. His sheepish smile and shade of red was something to behold and the two of us will always hold a special place in our hearts for him. Recovering from her nerves and when our giggling had subsided, she gave me the answer I was looking for and made me the happiest man in the Sabi Sand.

Our safari wasn’t done yet, but now with my nerves settled and ecstatic happiness and romance fueling the trip; it was only getting better and better. Our second night at Singita followed in the traditions of the first, another private dinner and yet another foam and rose filled bath. Singita certainly knows how to do romantic.

If you missed it read Part I here and Part III.

Marc, Monique, Tom, Shadrack, Mish and Co. You guys made our stay amazing. Thank you very much!

Shadrack - Thank You!
