Mountain Safaris

When my husband first proposed the idea of climbing Mount Kinabalu, I was hesitant. It wasn’t because I was unfit, or afraid of heights. It wasn’t because I was afraid of an adventure. In fact, I was fit, had no fear of heights and adventure was my middle name. I was hesitant because I feared the idea of climbing a mountain. They always seemed daunting and unattainable.

Each year, around 25,000 people travel to Tanzania in the hope of reaching the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro. It is on top of many adventure seekers’ bucket-list. Is it on yours as well?

As you may already know, the lion is often dubbed as the ‘King of the Jungle’. Funnily enough, though, you won’t actually find these magnificent creatures in any of the world’s jungles! However, they can be found across the great continent of Africa. 

Consisting of the African lion, African leopard, African elephant, the Cape buffalo, and the endangered black rhino, the Big Five are the ‘celebrities’ of the African bush. Out of these five species, the African Leopard is the most elusive and hardest to spot as it’s a master of camouflage and stealth.
