FAMILY SAFARIS Watching the wide-eyed delight on your

child’s face as their first elephant

saunters by, is a life-long memory for any

parent.

The magical world of safaris is far from

an exclusive playgrounds for adults, many

camps and lodges embrace our little

ones, and offer specially designed

activities to create the most amazing fun

filled days.

From game drives to identifying animal

tracks, baking in the camp kitchen or

making your very own bow & arrow, kids

of all ages are catered for.

Throughout South Africa there are great

game lodges welcoming families in

Malaria free areas, whilst for those

venturing to Zambia, Botswana or maybe

Tanzania, medications are much

improved and are suitable for even our

youngest explorers.

Safety is always uppermost in the minds

of the lodge managers. There are rooms

adapted for families, located closest to

the central areas, additional bedrooms

next to parents’ rooms and are often

fenced to ensure small ones stay in and

big things stay out!

After a safari adventure of a lifetime, why

not head for the beach? South Africa,

Mauritius, Zanzibar or Mozambique all

make for a perfect family chill out.

Once again there are activities just for

kids, dedicated clubs, water sports,

swimming pools and of course an

endless supply of sand castle building

materials.

So whatever the requirements, Big 5,

counting elephants, tracking with the

Masai or watching fledgling turtles head

to the open water, we can make it all

possible for you.

UGANDA - A New View


The inaugural Uganda Marathon, 24

May 2015, a ‘Race like no other’ is a

fantastic event which will work to

raise funds through runners’

sponsorships, for local community

projects across the country, and it’s

still not too late to enter! Visit

www.ugandamarathon.com to find

out more or donate.

A marathon is certainly a different

way to see part of this beautiful

country, however, for the rest of us

mere mortals, a guided safari is

definitely more achievable. But

where to start? Much is known and

written about the many groups of

majestic Mountain Gorillas and a trek

to see them is a must, however this

country offers so much more than you

might imagine.

Throughout the Western region,

visitors are afforded a huge wealth of

possibilities. The Queen Elizabeth

National Park is a lush green

landscape incorporating wetlands,

rainforest and savannah plains,

providing a real haven for over 600

bird species, great herds of elephant

and buffalo, as well as numerous

types of antelope.

Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is one

of ‘the’ destinations for gorilla

trekking. However, visitors will be

delighted to find great numbers of

chimpanzees, many monkey

varieties and elephants.

Other highlights we highly

recommend include Rwenzori

Mountain National Park for

hiking and bird watching, and

Kibale National Park which is

home to 13 primate species

including L’Hoests and red

colobus monkeys.

At just 55 kms from the capital,

Entebbe, the calm waters of Lake

Victoria await. The perfect

destination for relaxing, birding

and fishing. Alternatively take time

to visit the Chimpanzee Sanctuary

& Wildlife Conservency Trust to

observe the crucial work to

protect the many orphaned

chimps.

What’s new? With immediate effect the South African Department of Health has lifted its

requirement for visitors travelling between Zambia and South Africa to hold a valid

Yellow Fever Vaccination Certificate.

Namiri Camp is in a remote and exclusive region of the world famous Serengeti.

Closed to the public for 20 years, the area was reserved for creating a safe haven and

research station for the area’s big cats. Asilia Africa are now custodians of the area and

have sole use, therefore offering unique walking safaris and huge predator populations.

&Beyond announce that their newly acquired Benguerra Lodge will be opening its

doors in June 2015. Having undergone an extensive refurbishment, the outstanding

levels of luxury and comfort expected for an &Beyond property will certainly be

evident here.
