African Safaris
Narrowing down your options for an African safari can be tough, but if you ask me, I’d move Namibia to the top of your travel list. Stretching along the southwest coast of Africa, Namibia is home to the Namib—the world’s oldest desert—and some of the continent’s most striking scenery.

In the heart of one of Africa’s last great wildernesses, a rare and extraordinary experience awaits. Damaraland, a remote and untamed landscape tucked away in northwest Namibia—a country already known for its undulating red sands and ancient basalt mountains—can be arid and unforgiving; a place where many species have had to adapt, just to survive.

By Matt Kareus When most travelers think of an African safari, images of the Serengeti’s migrating herds or Botswana’s lush Okavango Delta usually come to mind. Namibia is different. This is a land of vast deserts, rugged beauty and wildlife that has adapted to some of the driest conditions on Earth.

Within Africa’s second-youngest country lies the world’s oldest desert, with more than 55 million years of history buried in its shifting sands. The vast Namib Desert extends for 1,200 miles along the Atlantic coast—from Angola southward across Namibia—to the Olifants River in South Africa.

Haunting photos and mysterious stories of the stone statues—or moai (pronounced mo-eye)—on Easter Island have probably fascinated you since you were a child.
Conservation
As caregivers, parents and teachers of children, we try to encourage and respect every youngster’s individuality. We tell them that they are each unique and that every one of them has something separate to give, something different to learn and something distinct to create.
Conservation
Preserving the biodiversity we have left is not only of extreme importance for the species we are rapidly losing, but for our own health and well-being. It has long been a goal of nature lovers and conservationists all over the world.

Photograph Southern Africa’s wildest landscapes, abundant game and charismatic predators on our Botswana & Namibia Photo Expedition, an epic safari into the richest wildlife enclaves of two African countries. Each subject is more arresting than the last, from Africa’s largest elephant herds to the world’s tallest sand dunes in the Namib Desert.

For two years, many of us have dreamed up lists of far-away places, and as travel restrictions and border closures continued, these plans seemed increasingly far-off. Now, as travel makes its return, we couldn’t be more excited for those dream trips to become reality.
African Safaris
At times, wildlife conservationists do things that might look a bit strange or even questionable to the rest of us. And seeing a rhino tied by its legs and suspended from a helicopter—even though it’s to move the animal away from poachers—is one example that is uncomfortable for most of us to watch.
