In the last few days there have been some very good crossings on the Mara River. Yesterday many zebra and wildebeest crossed from east to the west at the main crossing points along the River. There are many wildebeest spread out across the plains surrounding Governors Camps. Huge lines of wildebeest were seen this morning filing over Rhino Ridge and towards Paradise Plains.

It all going a bit dog crazy here at Kwando!!
The Kwara puppies emerged last week with the alpha female proudly showing off her 10 tiny puppies. They are popping out for very short spells in the afternoons. The pack has 12 dogs and the den is about an hour’s drive from both Kwara and Little Kwara.
So grab a Botswana safari at Kwara in Okavango Delta with an Linyanti extension to Lebala!!
Coinciding almost to the day with the Kwara puppies emerging from their dark den, the Lagoon alpha female denned and now faces a dark few weeks waiting for her puppies to be big enough to bring out into the light. Us dog fans are estimating July 19th!!……….
The Lagoon female has been faithfully producing puppies for the last 10 years now and this year she has made it very easy on us by denning only 10 minutes from camp!!
This pack is seen at Lagoon year round, and is extremely comfortable around us and we like to think it’s due to the respect we give them.
Please note that den viewing is limited to 2 cars only so you will have to wait your turn!
Dogs often relocate a den site during the denning period, but because the pups are still so small and have to be carried by their mother, it won’t be far.
The Lagoon pack consists of a total of 18 dogs, (including the yearlings from last breeding season).
We are all very exited to have two packs in two concessions, and hope you will join us for a Botswana safari at Kwara & Kwando to watch this magnificent predator!

Country Guide South Africa – History & Culture The earliest representatives of South Africa’s diversity – at least the earliest history can name – were the San and Khoekhoe peoples (otherwise known individually as the Bushmen and Hottentots or Khoikhoi; collectively called the Khoisan). Both were resident in the southern tip of the continent for thousands of years before its written history began with the arrival of European seafarers. And before that, modern human beings had lived here for more than 100 000 years – indeed, the country is an archaeological treasure chest…. Click here for a complete guide to South Africa |

South Africa – Location & Geography Situated at the southern tip of Africa, South Africa has a landmass of 1 233 404 km² edged on 3 sides by a nearly 3000km coastline washed by the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic. It is bordered in the north by Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Mozambique, and also wraps itself around two independent countries, the Lesotho and Swaziland. The low-lying coastal zone is narrow for much of that distance, soon giving way to a mountainous escarpment that separates it from the high inland plateau. In some places, notably the province of KwaZulu-Natal in the east, a greater distance separates the coast from the escarpment. South Africa has a total land area of slightly more than 1.2-million square kilometers, making it roughly the same size as Niger, Angola, Mali and Colombia. It is one-eighth the size of the US, twice the size of France and over three times the size of Germany. South Africa measures some 1600km from north to south, and roughly the same from east to west.

Indian Ocean Beach & Africa Coastal Guide Knysna If you’re looking for South Africans’ most popular small town, go to the end of the Garden Route in the Western Cape to Knysna the ‘elegant lagoon’. It’s easy to get the ‘Knysna Spirit’ as you drive in on the N2 Highway from Cape Town. The town is well developed these days, but you still feel you’re traveling in woodcutter country. Knysna has, for many, become the pot of gold at the end of the Garden Route. It’s famed attraction is the Eastern and Western Heads, a cavenous expanse where many a ship has met its doom. Today the Featherbed Nature Reserve pays homage to the richness of fauna and flora that Knysna has to offer. The Knysna Elephant Park is where you can interact with and feed the relocated jumbo families. It’s a favorite with the youngsters. If they’re still in the mood for a ‘creature feature’, then whip them down the N2 to Monkeyland for a visitation with some of the loveliest lemurs in southern Africa. But the real wildlife activities in these parts is to go out to sea and find the dolphins and the southern right whales that seasonally visit the shores of the Paradise Coast. To find yourself in the middle of a 4 000-strong pod of common dolphins leaping through the waves is a unique experience you will carry with you for years.

Another Perfect AfricanMecca Customer Experience HI Raza/Altaf and the rest of the AfricanMecca team, We just returned from our trip to Africa. The planning for this trip started over an year ago, however i got in touch with Africanmecca about 6 months prior to my time. From day 1, i’ve received nothing but exceptional service from this group. It was not an easy task, which at first I thought was never going to be planned perfectly. We had a group of 10 people, going to 4 different countries (Livingston, Zambia/ cape town, south Africa/ Zanzibar, Tanzania/ and Masai Mara, Kenya). Our trip to all those countries was to be completed in 2 weeks. The amount of planning and more planning that went into this was unbelievable. However, with the guidance and expertise of Raza not one thing went wrong. I had mentally prepared going into this trip that there would be things going wrong and we would just have to make the best of it. After all, there was 10 individuals, with 20 different pieces of luggage, and 14 different flights we flew on through our journey. This was definitely a very complex trip to plan which required someone who had great knowledge, experience and patience. It was an absolutely perfect trip, not one thing went wrong. Raza had put together the most time efficient trip for us taking into consideration every possible thing someone can. These people know what they are doing! Every single aspect of the planning was perfect. All the transfer agencies were polite, friendly, timely and very helpful. Being thousands of miles away from home in a completely foreign country, we never felt help was that far away. All the transfer companies did an exceptional job of leaving you with more than enough information on anything and everything you need. They were literally a phone call away, anytime of the day. All the flights booked were well spaced with no delays/missed or cancel flights experienced through the whole trip. We had picked our own hotels and had Raza make reservations for us. Everything that was said that was going to happen, happened! The communication was very open and 2 sided from the beginning. Everything was clearly explained and dealt with in a step by step manner. I can go on and on about what an amazing job Raza and his team did to make this trip a trip of a life time for 10 individuals. Thank you very much for all your hard work and amazing planning you had put together for us. I am and will continue to highly recommend your services to anyone looking to travel. Pappu Patel |

In Tanzania, a land of superb landscapes and spectacular wildlife, another attraction stands equally tall: the people. Tanzania’s people are among the most welcoming and approachable on earth, with a range of fascinating cultures ready to be shared with visitors. From the Chagga of the slopes of Kilimanjaro to the now world-famous Maasai, a cultural excursion or a longer stay among local people is likely to become one of the most rewarding experiences of any holiday in Tanzania. In addition, many local areas run their own cultural programs for visitors, bringing income directly to the community and giving the people the chance to show their lifestyle to the outside world on their own terms. Cultural tourism programs are beneficial to everyone: the visiting guests get a unique and unforgettable experience, the local people generate income and improve their standard of living, and both parties gain a valuable understanding of another culture which will last long after the visitors have returned home.

Kikoti is a Maa (language of the Maasai) word for “the place where life began”, the name bestowed by the local Maasai upon an ancient pre-Jurassic kopje in the Tarangire ecosystem in recognition of its enduring permanence and dominant status in the surrounding ecosystem. When owners of Kikoti Camp began working with local communities in the Tarangire Conservation Area, it seemed like the perfect name for the safari camp, showing respect for the Maasai community that have roamed the area for generations, and the owners reverence for the game-rich wilderness in which the camp is located.

Hi, I thought I would drop you a quick email to let you know how much Luc & I enjoyed our trip to Tanzania. The Kili trek was awesome & we were supported by a great team of guides & porters. I very much doubt either of us would have made the summit without the help & encouragement of Augustine & William. The safari was amazing too. All 3 lodges were excellent & our guide Babu ensured we enjoyed great game viewing. Thank you for organising the trip for us. Please pass on our thanks to everyone concerned. Luc has already passed your details onto a colleague of his who I understand is also booking a trip. We would be happy to recommend your company to anyone else considering a trip to Africa.
