Timeless Africa Safaris

💡Wondering if you can go on safari with kids? 🤔 Here’s why 10-year-old Leah thinks your kids will love safaris too: "Hi, I’m Leah, the granddaughter of Marco Van Embden who I’ve been privileged to join on a couple of safaris with 🌍🌿 he has taught me and my sister sooooo many cool things about nature and wildlife! Safaris are my favourite thing ever, and I think your kids will love them too. Here’s why: 🌟 You’ll get to meet loads of fascinating people who speak different languages and share amazing stories. 🌟You’ll spend sunny days outside, running around and exploring—so much better than being stuck on a screen! 🌟 You’ll learn super cool stuff firsthand! Did you know there’s a tree you can use as a toothbrush? Or that you can figure out which animals are nearby from their tracks (or even their droppings)? Gross, but surprisingly cool! 🌟Every game drive feels like a treasure hunt—spotting baby elephants, shy leopards, and more. 🌟 Safaris are the BEST way for families to laugh, play, and make unforgettable memories together. Want to know how magical safaris can be? Contact my grandpa’s team at Timeless Africa Safaris—they’ll even ask me for ideas to make your family's safari as special as mine!"

🌍 Why Africa Should Be Your Next Solo Travel Destination 🌍 Solo travel is more than just an adventure; it’s a journey within. Africa, with its vast wilderness and rich cultural tapestry, offers an unparalleled solo travel experience. Whether you’re trekking with gorillas in Rwanda, exploring Cape Town’s vibrant streets, or sailing on Lake Malawi’s pristine waters, the continent has a way of awakening something deeper. At Timeless Africa Safaris, we believe solo travel in Africa provides the perfect blend of personal discovery and community. Imagine sharing stories around a campfire after a day of wildlife encounters, or kayaking in the calm waters of Lake Malawi as you reflect on your journey. Safety is always a top priority, and our curated safaris ensure you feel secure every step of the way, allowing you to focus on the adventure ahead. From gorilla trekking in Rwanda to hot air balloon rides over the Serengeti, Africa offers endless possibilities for solo explorers. Every corner invites reflection, every encounter builds connection, and every moment offers a chance to rediscover yourself. Ready to embark on the ultimate solo adventure?

This year, our whole family went to the Maasai Mara to celebrate my grandpa’s 70th birthday, and of course, it was incredible. One of my favourite memories from this trip was the Maasai ceremony for his birthday. I loved the dancing and singing. But the biggest highlight? I saw a hyena for the first time! 😀 For this article, my grandpa and my mom Casey Van Embden asked me to share why I love safaris so much. I hope you enjoy it and maybe share it with your kids, too. ~ Leah, Marco Van Embden's 10-year-old granddaughter. #TimelessAfricaSafaris #LuxuryAfricanSafari #LoveTravel #ExploretheWorld #ExploringAfrica #Africa #WildlifeConservation

💡 During my years on a global organisation’s international board, we faced a challenge: How to create opportunities for intimate family bonding while traveling at reasonable prices for a family. Through collaboration and innovation, the African Family Safari Experience was born in 2001. What began as a solution to that challenge has now turned into one of the greatest travel successes in the organisations history, creating lasting memories and deep connections among families each year. Inspired by the power of these safari retreats, we began organising similar experiences with my own family, and friends. These experiences, where people come together to bond in an unfiltered way, cement how transformative travel can be. It was this realisation that inspired me to make family and group retreats an essential part of travel in Southern and East Africa at Timeless Africa Safaris. Today, we arrange retreats of all sizes—each one uniquely designed to foster meaningful connection, and experiences whether it’s for families, friends or larger groups.  The destination choice for a family retreat is a balancing act. Some of my personal favourites outside of Africa are Peru and Florence, but I am not sure anywhere else offers the magic of an African safari. These are my 5 Reasons Why Africa is the Perfect Place for a Family Retreat: 1. Every safari is a live show with no script, where families discover together.  2. Africa’s ancient landscapes invite families to pause, breathe, and connect.  3. The bush is the ultimate classroom, teaching wild lessons to all ages.  4. Family bonds stretch beyond borders, growing stronger under vast African skies.  5. True African luxury is in shared stories and quiet moments. Have you considered a family retreat?

Delayed post – On her way back home, Zita made one last unforgettable stop at Victoria Falls National Park to witness the magnificent Falls 😍.   "Many think there's no water at Victoria Falls during this time of year, but you'll be pleasantly surprised by what awaits. 💦 This was the final stop on my trip, and I can't wait to come back!"   Don't miss the chance to explore this UNESCO World Heritage Site—connect with us to start planning your visit today!   Travel Manager: Zita Clarence 📍 Victoria Falls 🌍 Zimbabwe   #TimelessAfricaSafaris #TimelessMoments #VictoriaFalls #ZambeziRiver #MatetsiSafari #LuxuryTravel #DreamTravel #AfricanSafari #LoveAfrica #ZimbabweTravel

Zita's safari continues: "An early wake up call brought much excitement with Paul our safari guide and Jeff our tracker. We took a game drive through the Matetsi Private Game Reserve and then hopped off the vehicle to explore the Reserve on a walking safari. Paul and Jeff ensured our safety at all times, while we learned about the various plants and traditional remedies used by the local villages. We even came across a herd of elephants that had no idea we were actually there thanks to Paul and Jeff's many years of experience. We ended the day with a sunset cruise on the Zambezi River. There simply is nothing quite like an African sunset and silence and tranquillity that being on the water provides. ✨ Almost home time, but looking forward to heading out to Vic Falls, watch this space" Travel manager: Zita Clarence 📍: Matetsi River Lodge 🛏: Matetsi Private Game Reserve in Zimbabwe 🌍: Zimbabwe #TimelessAfricaSafaris #TimelessMoments #ZambeziRiver #MatetsiSafari #LuxurySafari #LoveAfrica #AfricanSafari #SafariLove #ZimbabweSafari
