The African buffalo is one of Africa’s “big five” animals, along with lions, leopards, rhinos, and elephants. Both male and female buffalos have big, sharp horns. They have great eyesight, hearing, and smell, mainly to spot lions, their main threat. Because of their strong eyesight, they often eat at night, and in some places, they’re active only at night.

This was truly a 5+ star bucket list experience. We were treated with the utmost respect, generosity and kindness by every staff member.

Julia K, March 2024Managing 23 travelers from California, Maine, Massachusetts, and Montana was difficult. Finding a camp in the Okavango was also difficult. Fortunately, I made contact with Vanessa Stanley, and she was able to assist in finding two camps that were proximal to each other, thus allowing a group of 23 to have meals and free time together and still be at a bush camp. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
