Secluded South Africa

In honor of World Ranger Day, meet the Black Mambas: South Africa’s pioneering all-woman anti-poaching unit. These courageous rangers patrol the Greater Kruger region to protect endangered wildlife and inspire conservation through community engagement. Naledi Malungane, Belinda Mzimba and Collet Ngobeni will share thrilling stories from the field and explain what makes their work so effective. They’ll be joined by Craig Spencer, founder of Transfrontier Africa, the conservation nonprofit that launched this innovative program.

Every safari-goer hopes to spot Africa's Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo). But did you know Southern Africa also offers a wealth of opportunities for birders to find equally coveted avian sightings? Expedition Leader Lorraine Doyle introduces us to some of the region's diverse birdlife, from colorful lilac-breasted rollers and malachite kingfishers to elegant grey crowned cranes and birds of prey like the African harrier-hawk. Learn about their biology, the roles they play in their ecosystems, and how you can spot them for yourself on our Southern Africa safaris.
