Africa Day celebrates the anniversary of the Organization of African Unity. This holiday, which is formerly known as African Freedom Day and African Liberation Day commemorates, not only the founding of the OAU, but also its role in bringing the African nations together.
An African safari is an incredible opportunity to experience a variety of wildlife in their natural environment. In those moments, in the wild African bush, you would want to savour every moment. There is no better way to do this than by capturing these moments with a camera. We sat down with professional, wildlife photographer, Marlon Dutoit, who gave us some very useful tips for capturing the very best photos with your camera on safari.
Those seeking safari are usually in want of a few key things: incredible animal sightings, diverse activities like game drives and mokoro rides, and beautiful scenery – be it rivers, savannas, or waterfalls. And while these things are all incredible, and certainly a joy to experience, safari is about so much more. Safari, to me, is a feeling – something that you cannot see in a photo or describe to a friend.
Many describe Lake Kariba as Zambia’s hidden Riveira! It provides beautiful vistas, gorgeous sunsets, excellent fishing, boating options, water sports, and fantastic peaceful vacations or weekends spent soaking up the sun.
You’ll find some of the most luxurious camps and lodges on an African safari. Not only is the continent saturated with the most magnificent wildlife and scenery, but also breathtaking experiences, many of which have been on your travel bucket list for a while.
African dance is considered to be the world’s oldest form of choreography. To this day, many tribes in sub-Saharan Africa pass these African dance legacies on to their children from a very early age.

Trees give us life! Not only do they provide shade on a sunny day, give us amazing views, they also provide oxygen, shelter, and food for the animals. 🧡🌳🌴🌲
Trees play a huge role in the ecosystem, climate and soil erosion - what would we be without them? 🌳

Happy Dance Day 💃🏽🕺🏽
The song is a story of a young Ndebele warrior. The warrior song is rejoicing the discovery of his long lost father.
When the Ndebele tribes split and sepearted from the Zulu tribes after Mzilikazi's raids on neighbouring clans they settled in Zimbabwe. In their escape from the wrath of King Shaka, who was denied the rewards of Mzilikazi's conquests, the young warrior and his father would never see each other again.
To protect the warrior from agony the tribe and all his family hid the truth about his father's whereabouts.
Years passed as the warrior longed to know what became of his father and he was suddenly overcome with dreams of his father, "lasemaphutseni ngiyamazi baba".
His Grandmother saw his grief and yearning for closure and whispered to him that his father is well and that he remained in the Zulu lands.
A joyous moment for the warrior to know his father was alive and well. 🧡
