Travel Tales
Nowadays, it’s becoming increasingly harder to find African safari experiences that evoke the profound sense of wilderness immersion that so many of us seek. Far off Southern Africa’s typical tourist track are Zambia and Zimbabwe, two less-visited safari destinations that are home to some of the continent’s richest wildlife enclaves.

Conservation
Radio collars, GPS tracking devices and remote-controlled drones—when it comes to monitoring wildlife, it’s easy to get caught up in high-tech devices. It turns out, however, that our best tool for endangered species conservation work might be the least technological of all.

African Safaris
Have you ever been to the Peabody Hotel in Memphis? It’s famous for the resident flock of ducks that march through its lobby twice a day. Mfuwe Lodge in Zambia’s South Luangwa National Park has Africa’s super-sized answer to the Peabody’s ducks.

This remarkable video is a little hard to watch at first, but as the title above suggests, it has a happy ending (for the elephant, at least). Somehow, a young elephant that was separated from his herd managed to survive the onslaught of 14 female lions.

I’ve often thought that if people were more like dogs, relationships between humans would be a lot less complicated. You’d know immediately if someone was truly happy to see you, just by the wagging of a backside. To us, it seems it’s hard to lie or hide your emotions when you have a tail.
