the cruel cub petting industry - south africa’s shame
The so-called ‘Simba effect,’ named for a popular character from The Lion King, is a term used to describe the tourist pastime of holding or petting lion cubs while taking selfies and videos to post on social media.
Currently, there are likely more lions in captivity (breeding farms, safari parks, zoos) than living freely in the wild.
Most cubs are under 3 months old - some are only days old with their eyes still shut.
In this industry, cubs on display are frequently separated from their mothers and forced to interact beyond the species’ normal waking hours.
Once grown to adulthood, their lives become part of a larger cycle of harm including the canned hunting industry, the exotic pet trade, and the black market for wildlife parts. While these activities are well-known, the exploitation of cubs at tourist attractions is less well understood.
Unsuspecting animal lovers, through supporting the petting industry are contributing to the decimation of the lion population.
It is estimated that lions are bred on some 300 farms for trophy hunting purposes in South Africa, and cub-petting is an integral part of this economy.
Instead of visiting a cub petting facility, please support a true big cat sanctuary that is a facility that does not breed, trade or offer interactions, but instead provides a forever home to animals that cannot be returned to the wild.

Oooo, forget Japan for my 40th birthday, I've been 3 times already if I'm gonna spend thousands of pounds on a holiday it should be somewhere I've never been before.
I'm looking at a 10 day African Safari 😆.
My 20th I spent hiking in the Cairngorm Mountains in Scotland.
My 30th I spent in a helicopter over Queenstown in New Zealand.
I'd love to say I spent my 40th staring at a wild lion in Krugar National Park in South Africa!!!
More research to do.

Chasing giraffes and zebras in South Africa! Spotting giraffes in their natural habitat is always the highlight of any safari for me. I absolutely love animals with spots or stripes, so this was a dream come true. While some people rushed to look for the Big Five, I went after giraffes and zebras, LOL.
As you may have seen from my IG stories, I went on a safari in South Africa, and it was awesome. Can't wait to share more from this unforgettable adventure!
I captured this photo in Marakele National Park, Thabazimbi, our first stop. During our visit, we spent a few days at the Marataba Mountain Lodge, featuring only five suites and offering a breathtaking view of the nearby mountains. Situated in a privately managed area within Marakele National Park, the lodge is approximately a 3-hour and 30-minute drive from Johannesburg.

Happy #RhinoFriday Update on Kwayera by @savingthesurvivors “Remember the baby orphan we rescued when he was found wandering the bush alone? Our Veterinary Assistant Dot spent a week stabilising him before Dr. Johan took him in the helicopter to The Rhino Orphanage where he is going from strength to strength! Kwayera is doing very well. He has been joined up with an older orphan "Kraaitjie" a very sweet little girl. You can see how small he is at about 9 months old, but Kraaitjie is 14 months old and is having a very good influence on him. He is trying his best to eat dry food with Kraaitjie. His carers have taken out his 3am milk feed and he is now moving onto the normal milk schedule with 5 feeds per day instead of every 3 hours. He is also starting to drink more fresh water from the trough. Thank you to everyone who supports STS to make our work possible, without your support babies like Kwayera would not have the second chance at life. Your donations make this possible! Please donate if you can, monthly or even a one off gift to help us save the survivors and create hope from hurt. https://www.savingthesurvivors.org/donate/ @craghoppers @therhinoorphanage #Rhino #savetherhino #savingthesurvivors #animallivesmatter #antipoaching #NotOnOurWatch #wildography #veterinarian #wildlife #wildlifevet #rhinoconservation #southafrica  #poaching #rhinohorn  #rhinovet #rhinosofinstagram #worldrhinoday #wildlifephotography #wildlifetourism #safari #vets #veterinarymedicine #vetstudent #veterinarian #thanksgiving (at South Africa) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClYvcansVs4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Back to Uganda
25-26th February 2023
Tumblr media
Leaving the house at 2.45 a.m. and arriving in our Entebbe guesthouse at 11.30 p.m. made for quite  a long day. But all the documents were present and correct and our baggage came with us all the way to Uganda, unlike last year when we had quite a challenging start. 
Some of you will be familiar with the necessities that need to be obtained  - visas are much easier because you can do most of it on line. Currency – Millions of Uganda shillings needed to pay for our transport and fuel apart from anything else, because you can’t rely on paying by card on this kind of safari. 
Then it’s worth changing the SIM cards on our mobiles to make communications slicker within Uganda. That process is quite fun, as once in the relevant shop you have a session with several different people (the equivalent to “Cashier number 3 please”) before the ceremonial insertion of your Uganda card and then working out where to stash your removed very small UK SIM card for safekeeping. 
After a quick sortie into the local supermarket for safari sundries – a surprisingly wide variety of goods for sale – we had a quick lunch and headed south to Nkima Forest Lodge. The weeks preceding our departure had been quite complicated and tiring,  and Ewan decided we should begin the safari with a day off. 
As we came to the lodge the owner was sorting out “a little water problem” – there was none. Dry weather meant the water table had dropped, affecting the supply. And the sun had not been shining so the water was not being heated! 
Tumblr media
But we were glad to arrive, and the water problem was duly sorted. We’ve been especially pleased to find we had some very congenial fellow guests: four young civil servants from UK. 
I don’t know your views on civil servants but having worked in government service in both UK and Africa, we rather approve of them and recognise their importance. After all, they are the ones who try to give good information and advice to government ministers and a great deal depends on that. 
The group currently at Nkima are working in conflict resolution, humanitarian relief aid, and secret projects they couldn’t name…..all fascinating and we found them irresistibly interesting and admirable. How refreshing. 
Nkima is an eco-lodge, powered by the sun.
Tumblr media
Solar lights recharging.
Nkima lodge is famous especially for the chance to see shoebill storks, very rare, in the swamps around Lake Victoria. And that’s just what we did this morning, travelling in a small boat along the channels through the reeds, water lilies and hyacinths, with a marvellous variety of birds along the way.
Tumblr media
Wonderful to see so many malachite kingfishers, one of our very favourites, and exquisitely beautiful.
Tumblr media
Pied Kingfisher and a Malachite King fisher
And finally, we did indeed meet a shoebill stork, huge and impressive with quite a presence. He apparently stays in one place for 3-4 hours, catching a very occasional lungfish for a snack. We can see why people get excited about such a sighting. We were delighted later to see one on the wing, soaring, as our guide announced, “up to the clouds”.
Tumblr media
Shoebills: notes for enthusiasts. You don’t have to read this bit, but some of the info we’ve found is so fascinating we thought we’d give you the chance to share in it.  
Shoebills: “perhaps the most eagerly sought of all African birds” by anyone with even the slightest interest in birds.
Two things combine to give the shoebill its striking appearance
It’s huge! An adult might stand more than 5 feet (150cm) tall. Seeing ours standing in the swamp it could easily have been a human.
Its clog-shaped hook-tipped bill, 20cm wide and almost as long, the largest of all living bird species. Perhaps not surprising that it's part of the pelican family. The bill is held in a permanent Cheshire cat smile, and the bird can look both sinister and inane. One of our young civil servants was eyeballed by a shoebill in the swamp yesterday and wondered if it was going to attack, but it just kept on smiling.
Tumblr media
More fun facts about shoebills
Shoebills live for ages in bird terms – up to 50 years. They are faithful partners for life, male and female building a grassy nest up to 3m wide on a floating island. 
Parents share incubation duties. In hot weather they fill their beaks with water and spray the eggs to keep them cool. How cool is that? Eggs hatch after a month, and the dedicated parents continue to feed them for another two. 
The adult birds spend a lot of time standing around semi-frozen for several hours before suddenly plunging with great drama, speed and power to make a successful kill of a favourite lungfish, a tasty toad, or perhaps a baby crocodile. 
Shoebills are remarkable birds of distinctive appearance and with fascinating characteristics. Not surprisingly they come with a number of myths, legends and superstitions, and remain under threat as their habitats are being destroyed  
Here in the Mabamba swamp in Uganda it really pays the local community to protect the environment and the special shoebills. Tourists, particularly birding enthusiasts but not only them, pay local people significant sums for the privilege of a boat ride through the swamp with a knowledgeable guide and a reasonable chance of seeing a shoebill. 
We had a wonderful morning, and along with so many brilliant birds almost within touching distance, seeing the shoebill both on land and in the air was a precious privilege. We felt much restored.

Top 8 Natural Tourist Locations in Malawi by Satguru Travel
The mesmerising beauty of the landlocked country Malawi in the southeast part of Africa will leave you speechless once you visit. A wide range of agriculturists living here makes this place a heaven for nature lovers. The top natural tourist locations in Malawi by Satguru Travel attract people from all over the world. If you are planning a trip to Africa, add Malawi to your list of places to visit and enjoy the heavenly spectacular views of nature. 
Tumblr media
1.Nkhoma Mountain
If you are taking Malawi corporate travel services and planning to hike this mountain, you must be aware of the route to the summit, which is as follows:
You will find mostly flat land during the first part of the track
Once you get past the initial trail, you will come upon a fish pond. You may spot children playing near the place. 
When you are done with half the trail, you will find slight difficulty as the slope gets steeper there. You can have a view of the pond and most areas of the land while you are trekking up. 
At this point, you will have a spectacular view of the summit. One can relax here as about 75% of the hike is done and you need some rest time before restarting the hike. 
You will find a rocky slope near this point which is very difficult to pass. In order to clear this difficult part, you are required to use both hands and legs. 
Voila! You have reached the Summit within four hours. The mesmerising view from this spot will surely make you forget the tough part of the hiking journey. 
2.Mount Mulanje
Located 65 km east of Blantyre, Mount Mulanje or Mulanje Massif rises sharply from the plains of Chizardzulu and is one of the most preferred places for hiking in Malawi. One can also spend some time in the tea-growing district nearby with the same name, Mulanje. This mountain with an altitude of 3000 m is popularly called “island in the sky” by the locals. You will notice what a suitable name it is when you see the mountain enclosed in a smoke-like haze on a misty day. 
Just like Nkhoma Mountain, Massif is popular among adventure lovers for hiking and climbing. The Malawi Mountain Club and Forestry Department maintains several mountain huts scattered around the mountain. Hikers can choose from a large number of trails depending on the length of stay and what summits they want to reach. People who do not want to hike can simply visit the Mulanje Forest Reserve and spend some time exploring the plant and animal species. 
3.Lake Malawi National Park
Located at the southern end of Lake Malawi, this place is enlisted in the World Heritage Site and is the world’s first freshwater national park. Lake Malawi National Park includes a land area around the bay and cape together with the Lake and islands offshore. You will see a veritable aquarium of tropical fish offering a colourful kaleidoscopic display. 
Lake Malawi National Park holds the record for having thousands of freshwater fish that you will not see anywhere else in the world. One can also hire a boat and feed the fish directly from the hand. You can spot baboons, hyrax, antelope, and large species of birds like cormorants, eagles, and hamerkops away from the lake, in the park. 
4.Majete Wildlife Reserve
If you are visiting Malawi, do not forget to put Majete Wildlife Reserve on your list of places to visit. The continuous efforts of professionals in the protection of endangered species make Majate the most popular reserve for wildlife and safaris in Malawi. This place is located in the Lower Shire Valley, South West of Malawi. 
In the 1990s, there was heavy eradication of wildlife from this region. A non-profit organization named African Parks Majete (APM) in collaboration with the Malawian government took full responsibility and rehabilitated the reserve. The restoration includes infrastructure development, wildlife stocking, scientific monitoring function, and law enforcement. 
5.Dwangwa 
The satellite town of Dwangwa is situated on the central shores of Lake Malawi, thirty miles north of Nkhotakota. If you are visiting the lakeshore, make sure you spend some time here apart from fuelling and stocking up. You can find good accommodation facilities in this town and enjoy some lake activities during your stay. 
6.Shire River
Visiting the largest river of Malawi must be already on your list of places to visit. Shire river is the only outlet of Lake Malawi that flows directly into Mozambique’s Zambezi river. It begins from Lake Malawi and enters into shallow Lake Malombe after a 19 km (12 miles) journey; after draining Lake Malombe it flows southward towards Liwonde National Park, where you can spot hippopotami in abundance. 
7.Kasungu National Park
Located on the border of Zambia and Malawi, Kasunga National Park is full of natural woodland and bush and is spread across 800 sq miles. It was one of the oldest premiere national parks in Malawi. With time, the fame of this place has been overtaken by Majete, Liwonde, and Nyika National Park. Nowadays, most visitors prefer going to Nkhotakoata Wildlife Reserve for safaris that is being managed very well. Check the website for flight booking in Malawi and spend some time in the laps of nature here. 
8.Chongoni Rock Art Area
Located at the granite hills northwest of Dedza, in Central Malawi, Chongoni Rock Art Area is full of ancient rock paintings, constituting the densest rock art cluster in central Africa. From the paintings by BaTwa hunter-gatherers to rare farmer rock art, you will find every rare and beautiful painting from the Stone Age here. The symbols in the paintings have firm associations with females and are still culturally relevant to the Chewa community. 
Chongoni Rock Art is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that comprises around 127 sites of which some are still active for rituals and ceremonies. The tour packages offered by top corporate travel management companies in Malawi often include a trip to this exotic location. You are less likely to find such an amazing collection of preserved ancient art and Chewa’s cultural history from their early transition as agriculturists to the arrival of colonial Europeans. 
Satguru Travel is the largest travel management company in Malawi. They have certified professionals who make your travel memorable and hassle-free to enjoy your valuable time. To book a package, contact us.

Malaria-Free Safari Adventures and Luxurious Stays at Kruger National Park
Embarking on a safari adventure in South Africa is a dream for wildlife enthusiasts, but the idea of malaria risks can make travelers hesitant. Fortunately, there are many regions offering a malaria-free safari experience, allowing visitors to explore the wild beauty of South Africa without concerns about health risks. Alongside this, the world-renowned Kruger National Park, home to an abundance of wildlife, provides unforgettable safaris coupled with luxurious accommodations like Kruger Park private lodges.
Malaria-Free Safari Destinations
While Kruger National Park is one of Africa’s top wildlife reserves, some areas outside of Kruger and in other parts of South Africa are entirely free of malaria. For travelers looking for a malaria free safari, there are several stunning locations where they can witness Africa's Big Five—lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos, and buffaloes—without worrying about taking antimalarial medications.
Destinations such as Madikwe Game Reserve, Waterberg, and Pilanesberg National Park provide exceptional wildlife experiences while being free from the risk of malaria. These areas offer visitors the chance to immerse themselves in breathtaking landscapes, rich biodiversity, and the thrill of close wildlife encounters, all within a safe, malaria-free environment.
Madikwe Game Reserve, for instance, is a lesser-known gem near the Botswana border and is one of the largest reserves in South Africa. Pilanesberg, another incredible option, is a conveniently short drive from Johannesburg and is situated in an ancient volcanic crater, making the terrain unique and captivating. Both of these destinations are perfect for those who want to enjoy a malaria-free safari.
Kruger Park Private Lodges: A Luxury Experience
For those who choose to visit Kruger National Park, the experience is equally unmatched. Kruger offers a variety of accommodation options, but nothing beats the exclusive luxury of kruger national park lodges. These lodges are located in private concessions within or bordering Kruger National Park, offering visitors a more intimate, serene experience compared to the public areas of the park.
Staying at aKruger Park private lodge gives you access to guided game drives and bush walks, led by highly experienced rangers and trackers who provide deeper insights into the behavior and habitats of the wildlife. You can enjoy early morning and evening game drives, which are the optimal times for spotting animals when they are most active. And, because these lodges are in private areas, the number of vehicles around wildlife sightings is limited, ensuring a more exclusive and less crowded experience.
Many of these lodges also offer personalized services, spa treatments, gourmet dining, and private plunge pools overlooking the wilderness. Popular lodges like Singita, Londolozi, and Sabi Sabi have become synonymous with luxury safari experiences, and each lodge has its own unique atmosphere, often blending modern comforts with authentic African design.
Kruger National Park Tour Packages: Tailored Safari Experiences
For those interested in crafting the perfect safari itinerary, Kruger National Park tour packages offer flexibility and convenience. Whether you're a first-time safari-goer or a seasoned wildlife enthusiast, these packages are designed to cater to various interests and budgets.
Some Kruger National Park tour packages include guided safaris, accommodation, meals, and transfers from nearby cities like Johannesburg or Nelspruit. Other more luxurious packages may also incorporate stays in the aforementioned private lodges, where guests can enjoy the ultimate safari experience combined with personalized service, gourmet cuisine, and unparalleled wildlife viewing.
These packages often range from 3-day express safaris to more in-depth 7-10 day explorations that allow visitors to truly immerse themselves in the splendor of Kruger National Park. Tour operators can also tailor packages for honeymooners, families, and adventure seekers looking to experience bush walks, night safaris, and even hot-air balloon rides over the savannah.
