We recently helped Linda Intaschi and David Silcox to arrange a 3-week trip in Namibia and Botswana and we are pleased to report that their Adventurlog has been published in the Globe and Mail.  Read about their adventures, and give us a call if their journey sparks your interest.

Chris and Ruben first travelled to Africa with Safari and Co in 2009and they vowed to return for Chris’s 50^th. “We decided the trip would be 5-weeks, 1-week per decade,” he says.  Planning started in November 2012.  They wanted to see the wildebeest migration on the Masai Mara, the chimps in Tanzania, elephants and lions in Botswana,  wineries in South Africa…and spend some time at the beach.

“It was probably a bit challenging for Mike to organise all that,” acknowledges Chris.  But Safari and Co set the itinerary, arranged the details, selected the best camps and on the 10^th of August 2013 Chris and Ruben departed Toronto for a once-in-a-lifetime safari.  They invite you to share some of their favourite pictures and stories and imagine yourself sipping a sundowner in the wilds of Africa.

The best years to see a crossing in the Mara are drought years, when food is limited and the majority of the herds head north and into Kenya. In a year with good rains the herds can be spread out from the Mara, south into the Serengeti of Tanzania.Continue reading

Game viewing hides are structures that allow you to sit in a quite location in the African bush, usually near a waterhole or river, and in areas frequented by wildlife. They are either elevated platforms in a large tree, a sunken bunker in the ground close to the action or a ‘log-pile’ hide very close to a waterhole used frequently by elephant herds.Continue reading
