Robin Pope Safaris - Malawi

Zambia offers one the opportunity to truly experience the "Tawny Continent" in comfort and style but without loosing "Africa of Yesteryear". It forms the perfect safari destination. The Wilderness awaits your arrival and here Robin and Jo Pope made their home for nearly 30 years. Robin Pope Safaris is one of the oldest safari companies in Zambia, known throughout the world for running safaris that have remained true to the original style - safaris with heart and simplicity.

On safari you will be invited to explore the South Luangwa National Park both by vehicle and on foot. And at night, the drives continue and the behaviour of nocturnal species is observed. Robin Pope is globally known for Walking Safari`s, be it a five day walk or morning walk from one of the camps. Robin Pope Safaris have three intimate safari camps - Nkwali being the home camp, Tena Tena and Nsefu - all on the banks of the South Luangwa River and with sweeping views.

The camps are comfortable, natural and understated, and all very different in style. Each camp is located next to a water hole, that attracts game throughout the day. In addition, a mobile camp supports the RPS Walking Safaris. Nkwali, RPS permanent home, overlooks the park. The surrounding land has open grassland and quiet ebony groves where giraffe and elephant are often seen. It is the ideal place to start you Luangwa safari, being only 45 minutes from the airport.

The six guest rooms are made of woven bamboo and thatch, with open air bathrooms. Access into the park is by pontoon and boat. Nkwali has the added luxury of a swimming pool open for guests with changing rooms and showers. Nsefu, located within the South Luangwa National Park, was the first safari camp in Zambia and opened in 1952. This is where Robin Pope made his name in the early eighties. In 1999 the camp was restored in original style and Nsefu is now a glorious place to stay; as one guest said, it has "understated elegance".

The six rondavels are stylish. Tena Tena which has been described in The Times, London as "altogether beyond superlatives and must be one of the best safari camps in the whole of Africa. It is a tented camp, inside the National Park, with 8-10 beds. Each large, airy tent opens up onto a private veranda that looks out onto the bush. Woven bamboo "dressing rooms" separate the tents from their open-air bathrooms. Cultural activities add to the overall safari experience and you can book a trip to Kawaza Village - a unique chance for up to 12 guests at a time to experience African village life. Guests can spend one or two nights or just a day joining in with the villagers daily activities. This is independantly run although Robin Pope Safaris take all the international bookings. The Walking Mobile Safaris follow a major tributary of the Luangwa. 5 days spent walking in the north of the South Park following the Mupamadzi River and staying in a mobile tented camp.

The top guides of RPS guide these safaris and for availability please see our web site on www.robinpopesafaris.net. In 2008 RPS opened the luxurious Pumulani on the shores of Lake Malawi. With 10 very spacious villas scattered along the hillside the views of the lake are spectacular. The water sports available include water skiing, diving and snorkeling, sailing and kayaking. The mountain bikes provide some land exploration and village visits, walking in the hills and bird watching are also popular with the guests. Pumulani makes for a great beach addition to the bush safari in Zambia. Robin Pope Safaris provide services in the following countries: Zambia and Malawi Availability is on our website.

The conservation tradition continues today at Rekero where we offer old time hospitality and a unique insight into the Masai Mara's wildlife, cultures, flora and fauna.

The Camp is set up seasonally (June - October, December - March) and caters for up to fourteen guests.

Red Savannah - United Kingdom

Red Savannah was founded in 2011 by George Morgan-Grenville, a 24 year veteran in experiential travel and formerly Group Managing Director of Abercrombie & Kent. George took the view that today’s travel landscape has become saturated with large operators masquerading as specialists.

Ubiquity is everywhere and the jargon used across much of the industry has become hackneyed and meaningless. Red Savannah establishes a new paradigm with the aim of bringing real experience and craftsmanship back to the forefront of global travel.

No member of staff has less than 10 years of experience in the business and all our Destination Specialists contract and manage their own product – something that is only possible with a highly motivated and seasoned team. Above all, the company uses its extraordinary breadth and depth of experience together with its impeccable connections to create inspirational and life-changing travel experiences.

Private journeys across the Indian sub-continent & Asia, ruggedly exciting African safaris and the most stunning selection of European Villas & Ski Chalets – all delivered with charm, passion, integrity and style. No glitz, just the real thing, redefined for the 21st century by some of the most experienced names in the business.

In the African wilderness, intelligent expertise counts for everything. With 16 years’ experience as a Destination Specialist, including several years running luxury safari camps in Botswana and Zambia, nobody is better placed than Albee Yeend to create incredible journeys into the heart of the continent.

Pilli Pipa Dhow Safari - Kenya

If you fancy a change of scenery instead of lazing on the beach, the Pilli Pipa Dhow Safari may be just the experience you need. See what Kisite Marine Park has to offer. Situated towards the southern end of Kenya’s coastal strip, Kisite’s extensive reef system is home to dolphins, turtles, over 350 species of vibrantly coloured tropical fish and an exciting variety of coral life. No doubt you have heard all about the well publicised dolphins that have inhabited the area in and around the Kisite Marine Park for as long as local people can remember.

Almost everybody visiting the park will see dolphins but what about the other interesting creatures that contribute to the eco-system there? Lately, divers and snorkellers have been observing an unprecedented number of whale sharks between 6 to 8 metres in length. Humpback Whales are also spotted between July and September: unforgettable experiences! Nudibranchia, (sea slugs), are given little importance by the average snorkeller or diver.

They have various shades of purple, red, blue, green and yellow, a warning to predators that they are noxious or even toxic; their colour also helps them hide themselves by use of camouflage. Chemical warfare is the weapon of choice for many; some secrete acids which produce a sensation found to be distasteful by fish. Others secrete toxins so powerful that a nudibranch placed in a bucket with fish or crabs will kill them in about an hour! They are also hermaphroditic – that is having both male and female reproductive organs present in adult specimens.

A day spent on the Pill Pipa Dhow excursion, whether diving or snorkelling, will be a day that comes alive with new experiences. Our crew are very knowledgeable about marine life and trained to assist weak swimmers. We have buoyancy jackets for less confident swimmers, silicone masks for better fit and prescription lens ranging from -3 to -7 available on request. We have twin-valve snorkels with comfit mouthpieces for easier snorkelling. Facilities on the dhow include inboard W.C., depth finder, sun cover, tea, coffee, fruit and snacks. We limit numbers for added safety and more individual service.

Even non-swimmers have had a go snorkelling with us! The day is rounded off with one of the most sumptuous seafood meals you could ever imagine served in our garden on Wasini Island by smiling Swahili ladies. Wine, beer and soft drinks are included. Some days you will meet Selina, our resident marine biologist. Sail back to Shimoni Jetty where you may visit the famous Shimoni Cave, an interesting part of Kenya’s history. Then it’s back to your hotel in the late afternoon.

Original Travel - United Kingdom

Original Travel was launched in early 2003 and is an award-winning travel company, arranging unforgettable experiences and tailor-made holidays to destinations world-wide. We use our personal insights and experiences to hand-craft trips into unique and memorable holidays.

We have over 150 years of high end travel experience within the team, and specialise in honeymoons, family trips, private properties, experience-filled adventures, safaris, luxury exclusive travel and short breaks. In early 2009 we acquired luxury long-haul travel experts, Tim Best Travel, specialists in Africa, Latin America, the Indian Ocean, Australia and India. Tim Best Travel was founded in 1994 and like Original Travel was born out of a passion for travel. In Africa, we focus on small, exclusive lodges, hotels and camps, many of which are off the beaten track where a range of activities and superb guiding are all on offer.

The team have all been brought up or lived and worked in many of the countries in which they specialise and invest much of their time revisiting old haunts and exploring new and exciting places and bringing a wealth of knowledge, experience and personal service to their clients. Original Travel is committed to eco-friendly outfitters and companies who are concerned for the wildlife, the environment and feel a responsibility both to their local communities and areas in which they operate. In early 2012 Original Travel also acquired bespoke desert and cultural tour operator Simoon Travel.

Simoon Travel began in 2004 and was the first UK travel company to specialise in Libya. The portfolio of desert and cultural destinations has since grown significantly and together we believe we consolidate our established position as high-end Middle Eastern and North African travel experts. Finally, we launched a new diving division in conjunction with the luxury coffee table book Dive in Style (first print run 50,000 in 6 languages). Now rebranded as Original Diving, our portfolio of luxurious dive destinations includes many in Africa.

Ol Malo - Kenya

Situated on the northern edge of the Laikipia plateau, Ol Malo is nestled into a rugged escarpment looking out across the time-honoured lands of Kenya’s Northern Frontier District. Built, owned and managed by the Francombe family, with the help of the Samburu people, Ol Malo has established a reputation for first class service and tireless attention to detail. Rocky and Colin have been welcoming guests into their home for over 16 years.

Their son Andrew has joined them at the helm and is proving to be particularly popular with families as his sense of adventure and endless energy makes every guest’s experience unique. Every room in the intimate four bedroom lodge and beautiful 6 bedroom house is individually decorated, blending traditional local style with luxurious hand woven furnishings and thoughtful touches – a home away from home. Each spacious room has an ensuite bathroom and cascading shower, an oversize hot tub and private verandah There is no shortage of activities available at Ol Malo and each visit is tailor made to fit every guest.

The surrounding plains and valleys are teaming with game and provide regular sightings of wild dog and the elusive leopard is seen daily from the hide by the water hole. At Ol Malo, guests are encouraged to experience Kenya beyond the game viewing vehicle; walking and watching herds of elephant, riding with the rare grevy zebra and reticulated giraffe or trekking through the ancient Samburu lands with camels. Fly-camping on the shores of the river, listening to the Francombe’s stories of Kenya’s bygone age is an experience not to be missed.

Okavango Horse Safaris - Botswana

Founded by PJ and Barney Bestelink in 1986, this was the first riding Safaris Company in Southern Africa. The focus is a journey through the diverse landscape of the Okavango Delta and understanding of the ecosystem in this truly incomparable area. In offering a riding safari with OHS you are guaranteed a pristine wilderness with unique landscapes.

The concept of riding this area is very special, as horses wade through the shallow waters, swim through rivers, placing guests in areas unspoilt by human footprint. On horseback the experience of approaching wildlife and exploring the Delta places the rider at one with nature. The interaction between wildlife and horses is a natural relationship and every encounter is unique. Cantering through the floodwaters alongside the elephant motion of a giraffe is an experience that will never be forgotten.

Our specialised team of horses are classed within the industry as the best safari horses in the world, care is taken to match horse and rider, with top quality tack, excellent standard of guiding, personal attention and high standards of accommodation. We use 3 camps, Kujwana, luxury en-suite tents raised on teak deckings under fabulous natural canopy, Mokolwane, 2 metre high treehouses along the edge of the Matsibe River and Qwaapo Camp overlooking a beautiful hippo lagoon.

The remote camps are accessed by helicopter, based in private concession areas of over 2500 sq. kilometres. Apart of the main attraction of exploring on horses, guests will also experience the delta from mokoro, on foot and game drives with night drives. We take a maximum of 8 guests on 5, 7 or 10 night safari options and non-riders can be accommodated. This company is committed to responsible tourism, staff development and the protection of the Okavango Delta.
