Dreaming of a safari?

6th May 2019 by Lindsay Yap 4 Min Read

https://expatliving.sg/which-safari-holidays-travel-packages/

It’s a truly unforgettable experience to get right up close to wildlife. And that’s only part of what makes an African safari such a must-do holiday. You’ll also stay in some breathtaking accommodation and have the chance to feel fully immersed in local culture. Here are five great options for making a booking today.

Want to stroll along the beaches of Mozambique or follow the magnificent wildebeest migration across the Masai Mara plains? Sikeleli Africa Safaris is a family-run business that specialises in individually-tailored luxury travel, with a team of Africa experts who can help you personalise and plan your adventure.

The company offers a number of suggested itineraries to help you create your dream safari experience in Southern and East Africa. For example, those who love being behind the camera will enjoy the Photography & Film Making Safari. Natural history photographer Trai Anfield will help you capture the beauty of the African landscape and wildlife. Or, if you have little ones in tow, there are family safari options with malaria-free game drive reserves and special camps with menus and activities designed for kids. Other choices include thrill-seeker and horseback safaris, and luxury and romantic experiences, from tented suites to candlelight dinners under the stars.

Scott Dunn

Scott Dunn Mara house accommodation safaris

Whether you’re a family wanting to see your children’s excitement at witnessing their first elephant in the wild, or adventurers keen for a back-to-basics experience, the team at Scott Dunn is well-equipped to help you plan an unforgettable safari holiday. If you’re planning on travelling with older kids, head to East Africa, to Kenya’s Masai Mara, where you’ll be amazed by the numbers of animals living in the vast plains. Or, take a trip to Northern Kenya and walk with camels, sleep under the stars, visit local villages and schools, and even hand-feed a baby rhino!

One spot to stay at Masai Mara is Mara House. The three-bedroom property is located in the Mara North Conservancy and is a wonderful option for families. The stay comes with a butler, chef, guide and private game vehicle to take you to visit local villages and on daily game drives. Whatever takes tour fancy, the Scott Dunn team is passionate about Africa and its endless array of experiences, and can sort out your ideal itinerary.

Its interior is laid-back and relaxed, with river pebble accents and furniture made out of winterthorn trees. Guests can enjoy dipping in the pool or lounging by the deck, while watching resident elephants wading across the river. There are also many activities to look forward to, from day or night game drives and walking safaris to boat cruises and fishing.

Psst … Stay for five nights or more at Time + Tide Chongwe (Time + Tide Classic Zambezi Itinerary), and you’ll earn a complimentary night’s stay.

Wilderness Safaris

Wilderness Safaris safari accommodation

Wilderness Safaris plays a role in protecting nearly 2.5 million hectares of exclusive wilderness areas through its 35 luxury camps across six African countries. The company’s aim is to help biodiversity conservation and empower the local community. If you’ve got little ones in your group, there are a number of family-friendly camps with spacious family rooms and an exciting Bush Buddy programme to keep kids busy. Menus are inspired by the talents of local cooks, who focus on using quality local ingredients to create delicious and flavourful meals. Activities-wise, you won’t be disappointed with everything from game drives and water activities to scenic flights and bush dinners on the menu. Choose to explore as a group or arrange for a private tour for greater flexibility.

New Wilderness Safaris properties to look out for include Magashi Camp in Akagera National Park, which opens in May 2019, and King’s Pool and Jao Camps in Botswana that will reopen in June after renovations. Serra Cafema in Namibia also recently opened after a revamp.

The rain and cold winds getting you down? A warm beverage and maybe a good book to snuggle up to might just chase the blues away!

If hot chocolate is too mainstream for you, could we offer up this red velvet alternative? @littlefarms have a wide selection of oat milks, almond milks and soy milk options. 

Since it's #Veganuary, we recommend using dairy free milks to recreate this recipe....

2 cups non-dairy milk of choice
4 medjool dates (pitted)
1 tablespoon cacao powder
1/2 teaspoon beet powder

Add the milk and dates into a saucepan.
Heat, over medium, until it reaches a simmer. Add the warm milk with the dates and the remaining ingredients into a high speed blender.
Blend until completely smooth and creamy. Serve and enjoy!

As we welcome the start of a new year, it’s time to look back at the year that was. 

Obviously, a standard review of 2020 would be dominated by one global issue, however, we’ve decided to avoid any mention of the C-word and instead, we’re taking a look at some of the other things that happened in 2020 
month by month, from pop culture phenomena to mystery objects in our deserts and skies (full link in our stories)

Enjoy – and have a wonderful 2021!
