Wilderness Safaris is opening their first Tanzania Camp! Wilderness Usawa Serengeti is designed to follow the movements of the majestic herd as it embarks on its seasonal migration across the vast Serengeti National Park. They will have two mobile camps strategically positioned in key locations within the park. In typical Wilderness Safaris style the plan is for Usawa Serengeti to stay far from the (human) crowds but close to the action of the Great Migration. Camp locations are ideally situated within the Serengeti’s designated walking zones, allowing guided walks to begin directly from camp. #opening #mobilecamp @wearewilderness #greatmigration #serengeti #tanzania #respectguideprotect #init4thelongrun #africansafari #luxurysafari #bellinghamsafaris

The very first andBeyond (then ccAfrica) lodge we had the privilege of visiting was Phinda Forest Lodge, back in the mid-1990s. Phinda Reserve had only recently been established in 1991, the land having previously been used for pineapple and other farming. Reflecting back on our experience, there were sections of the reserve that had suffered from overgrazing and degradation but ccAfrica's pioneering efforts and visionary approach, coupled with our own excitement as novices, made every moment of our stay thrilling. Over the years, the protected area has experienced remarkable growth, more than doubling in size with reintroduction programmes for many species including Pangolin, Cheetah, Elephant and Rhino. This expansion, combined with over three decades of dedicated conservation work, has transformed Phinda into a global benchmark for conservation. Phinda Forest Lodge was undeniably ahead of its time, with an ultra-modern design which has ensured that the lodge stood the test of time. This all being said the time has come for a complete refurbishment which is set to take place under the legendary skills of @foxbrowne_creative and @jackalexander.za – exciting!!! 📷 Renderings by @akemidigital @andbeyondphinda #phindaforestlodge #interiordesign #safaridesign #luxurysafari #southafrica #africansafari #respectguideprotect #init4thelongrun #bellinghamsafaris

We celebrated Earth Day today by removing alien vegetation to allow our local fynbos to blossom naturally. Nature never lets you down. With the early rains here in Cape Town, nature’s fireworks are already putting on quite a show. 📷 Simon Bellingham 📍Silvermine Nature Reserve 🌎 South Africa #earthday #bellinghamsafaris #respectguideprotect #kingprotea #protea #fynbos #cynaroides

A beautiful day spent at the Dylan Lewis Sculpture Gardens. The garden itself is his largest sculpture to date (an excavator was needed to create the contours) and it is brimming with gorgeous fynbos. His sculptures have developed over the years from bird to animal to half-human-half-animal and finally to fully human. As wildlife lovers we find ourselves particularly drawn to his 10 year period of sculpting animals, "primal wilderness" with its African animals, "wild symbols" with its big cats, and "breaking apart" with its fragmented leopard torsos. #dylanlewissculpturegarden #dylanlewis #luxurysafari #wildlifeart #capewinelands #bellinghamsafaris #respectguideprotect #thisissouthafrica
