Walking Safari In Zambia’s South Luangwa Valley
Author: admin
Game drives only get you so close to the action. To understand the land and its animals, you need to walk around. Robin Pope Safaris is Zambia’s premier walking safari outfitter and offers 10 night walking mobile safari through the Luangwa Valley which marks the end of the Great Rift Valley and is among the finest wildlife sanctuaries in Africa. It offers access to lagoons, woodlands and plains, and massive concentrations of elephants, buffalo, leopards, lions, giraffes, hippos and more than 400 species of birds.
Guides will unlock everything from the mysteries of termite mounds to the majesty of elephant herds. Robin Pope emphasizes conservation and his safaris are as much an education in the intricacies of flora and fauna as they are immersions in an elegant and serene world far off the beaten path, where the distant nighttime rumblings of hippos and lions lull you to sleep each night.

Set out on a wildlife safari amid the incredible diversity of landscapes in Tanzania’s most famous game parks: Lake Manyara, the Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti. Visit the Olduvai George where on expedition in 1960, Homo habilis, regarded as one of the earliest members of the human genus was discovered. Four decades later, in 1999 a 3.5-million-year-old skull and partial jaw believed to belong to a new branch of early hominid was also found discoveries that have shaped our understanding of human origins.
Lake Manyara National Park is famous for its tree-climbing lions, elephants, hippos, giraffes and flamingos.
Ngorongoro crater is 2,000 feet deep and its volcanic slopes shelter almost 30,000 animals. You may see elephants, rhinos, buffalo, cheetahs, lions, hyenas, hippos, wildebeests as well as a variety of birds and ungulates. Crater floor is sprinkled with watering holes and the crater is a volcanic caldera that spans an area more than 100 square miles.
You can witness the great annual wildebeest migration in the Serengeti National Park. Embark on an early morning game drive to view wildlife at one of their most active times of the day. Look for herds of zebra or wildebeest eyeing a predator warily and spot crocodiles as their snouts surface in the Grumeti River. Or take in a birds-eye view of the plains on hot-air baloon ride.

The Big Five Of African Wildlife
Author: admin
The big five of African wildlife were so named by hunters because they are elusive and difficult quarry and not necessarily because of their physical size. Lion, African elephant, Cape buffalo, leopard and rhinoceros are all readily spotted in South Africa Kruger National Park. You can also see hippos, cheetahs and giraffes that are born free. The southern part of the park is superb for game viewing and birding – where else are you going to see a yellow-rumped thinker bird?
For a DIY trip, enter through the Crocodile Bridge Gate, a five hour drive from Johannesburg.
Seeing Africa’s big five doesn’t need to be a five digit investment. If you go through Crocodile Bridge Gate, stay in the lower Sabie Main Rest Camp inside the park. Also an affordable spin-off of luxury ecoturism operator Wilderness Safaris is opening nine rustic lodges and tented camps this year in some of the continent’s most ecologically diverse regions.
The first property, Rocktail Beach Camp in South Africa’s Maputaland Coastal Forest has 12 airy tents each with an en suite bathroom and a private veranda. The lush pool sits on an Oceanside stretch of Isimangaliso Wetland Park. The next one up is Andersson’s Camp, a restored farmstead right outside Namibia’s Etosha National Park, where 114 different mammal species roam the enormous salt pan-covered terrain.
