Month on Instagram

January has flown by already and 2017 is now in full swing!

The year has got off to a great start. We’ve reflected back on 2016, explored some stunning new lodges, gone on an expedition in search of leopards, created our 2017 bucket list and delved deeper into the Kruger National Park.

Just in case you missed out, scroll down here for a sneak peek at what we’ve been up to or click here for our latest Bush Diary Video. #luxury #safari #travel #africa

Wishing our friends and family far and wide… a 2017 filled with African sunsets, amazing wildlife encounters and unforgettable adventures! #iconicafrica #NYE #happy2017 #bucketlist #africa #safari
