| WORLD GORILLA DAY |

Into the mist. Into the wild. Into a place where conservation, community and nature come together.

From the warmth and smiling faces of the local community to the misty forests of the Virungas, Rwanda has a way of leaving a mark on you.

At Singita Kwitonda, the mountains set the stage for one of Africa’s most extraordinary encounters - coming face to face with the mountain gorillas.

A silverback’s quiet gaze. Curious youngsters at play. And moments that feel almost impossible to describe.

It’s more than a gorilla experience. It’s a reminder of what can happen when wildlife and communities thrive together.

How can a safari become more than an unforgettable journey? Can tourism actively shape the future of conservation?

In this episode, we sit down with Michael Lorentz — private safari guide, photographer, entrepreneur, and founder of @Safarious. After more than 40 years exploring Africa's wild places, from the Okavango Delta in Botswana to some of the continent's most iconic protected areas, Michael shares his vision of a new generation of travel—one where every journey can leave a lasting conservation legacy.

We discuss how responsible tourism, philanthropy, and conservation can work hand in hand, and why meaningful impact comes from supporting carefully selected projects that create measurable change on the ground. Throughout the conversation, Michael highlights the remarkable work of organizations such as African Parks and Big Life Foundation in Kenya, explaining how large-scale protected area management and community-led conservation are helping safeguard wildlife and vital migration corridors for future generations.

Beyond conservation itself, we reflect on Africa's extraordinary wilderness, the importance of protecting places that still feel truly wild, and the role each traveller can play in supporting the people and organizations working tirelessly behind the scenes.

This conversation is an inspiring reminder that travel can become a force for good—connecting people not only with Africa's incredible wildlife, but also with the conservationists who are ensuring these landscapes endure for generations to come.

The ever opportunistic hunter….the Maji ya chafu female 🐆 taking advantage of the chaos of a river crossing targeting a wildebeest calf upon exit at Fig Tree Crossing point. The prey is a plenty with the thousand’s of gnus and zebras in the Greater Mara & @maratriangle now.

Safari Diary: Migration Madness ‘26

And so it begins, the river comes alive with the thundering of a thousand plus hooves!
Crossing season has officially begun this past week with daily crossings on the Mara River from the inner reserve into the @maratriangle.
A heavy rainstorm this evening will definitely shake things up and pull more herds in from the northern Serengeti.
