My wife and I got married in January ’23, and knowing we wanted to go on safari for a honeymoon, opted to leave ourselves a year to research and plan. We were quickly introduced to African Environments, and the experience working with the entirety of this team for the last year has been fantastic. From first contact, they’re always…
A strong El Ninio current and a warm Indian Ocean surface temperature usual means heavy rains in Tanzania but this year the rainfall is off the chart. Some locations have had a full year’s average rain in just 6 weeks, having devastating effects in many locations. Tanzania’s 3rd highest peak, Hanang, has had so much rain that a huge…
What an amazing experience at Itikoni! A departure from the same-old formula of traditional big name safari camps. At Itikoni the attentive camp staff struck the right balance of being on hand when needed but being scarce when you wanted to enjoy the verdant montane rainforest surroundings.

We did so much throughout the days, that it wasn’t until I returned back home to sit and reflect back on our adventurous days! ABOVE AND BEYOND anything we had ever done as a family, and so many…
