The Spirit Of Safari
A safari is an experience. One that requires a big investment of your time. Time to plan, to research, to figure out what the best trip will be. It requires endless hours of waiting, and longing for the moment when you step off the plane, onto African soil and begin to feel it's magic. This may all sound quite daunting, but we will guide you every step of the way. Safari Architects will get you to the places you want
Luxury Islands
We have all dreamt about or imagined spending time on a tropical beach on a remote island. It is the epitome of relaxation. We think of these places being in exotic locations like the Caribbean, Bali or Tahiti. However off the African coast, there are islands and atolls that would leave you speechless with their beauty, charisma and absolute isolation. Some of these islands are in the most remote locations, but have a sense of luxury and pure relaxation that
Other Fascinating Wildlife News

The grey giants of Africa
The question is, are we happy to suppose that our grandchildren may never be able to see an elephant except in a picture book? - David Attenborough As a conservationist, safari guide and animal lover of all things big and small, the above statement terrifies me. For those of you like me who have had the privilege of spending time around these magical beasts, to think of a world without elephants is something I cannot fathom. Never to hear the low
The Leopard and the Genet
"When was the last time you saw a Leopard?" When trying to start this story, I battled for an opening line. One that would entice you the reader, to read more. I put many ideas down, but none, I feel, worked as well as the one here: "When was the last time you saw a leopard?" The reason this line captivated me so much, is because I imagine there are many people out there, possibly even reading this story, who have
A week in the Linyanti and Okavango Delta
We kicked off this year with another Botswana adventure to the infamous and incredibly beautiful Linyanti and Okavango regions. Crystal clear swamps, rolling floodplains and shaded woodlands were just some of the amazing terrain we explored. Expecting everything to be rather dull and dry as a result of the severe drought Southern Africa has endured; we were rather blown away by how much water the region has had in recent weeks. The bush is transformed into a green jewel, flourishing and
