Poem: In the tracks of giants

‘To walk in the wake of elephants, to be small in a world of giants, to learn the spoor of silence, and the deep rumbling eloquence of kin.’

Today we celebrate ellies – the gentle giants who inspired our being – with these powerful words by Ian McCallum.

“Looking into the night, I can see eyes staring back at me.
In the dark, something is moving. I am afraid, but I am also happy.
I have never been here before, And yet I feel like I have returned.
I am at peace.”

I dreamed of Africa

“It was wildest, untouched Africa, and it was magic.”

Jane Goodall

Imagine being here: Chinzombo Camp, South Luangwa

Next on our list of wonderful safari spaces to swoon over is Chinzombo Camp in the South Luangwa National Park, Zambia. Set on the banks of the Luangwa River, Chinzombo’s villas epitomise style, luxury and exclusivity.
