The Great Migration, Month by Month: A Year in Motion
The Great Migration is not a single scene
It is a year that changes shape as it moves. One month, you stand on short grass while new calves learn to balance. Another you wait on a riverbank as wildebeest test the water. Later, you watch males clash during the rut along a line of kopjes. The same plain in January and in July behaves like two different worlds. That is why there is always a good time to go, as long as you match your dates to the right place.
Part I - Birding in Africa: Discover Birding in Eastern and Southern Africa
Part I Birding in Africa: From First Sightings to Iconic Species
Africa’s eastern and southern regions are among the most spectacular birding destinations on earth. Not only are there beautiful and sometimes unusual species to discover and record, but embarking on the adventure itself will take you to locations that will leave a lasting impression. Travelling in Africa will always be an unforgettable experience; taking good photographic equipment to capture every aspect of your journey, from the rich birdlife to magnificent landscapes, is essential.
Tiger Fishing in Southern Africa
Tiger fishing in some of the wildest locations in Southern Africa
For both skilled and novice anglers there is nothing like the take from an African Tiger Fish. Often referred to as Africa’s Big 6. They inspire both fear and respect and get the adrenaline going like no other fish. On the strike, tiger fish attack your bait laterally with such force that they can sever monofilament leaders, hence the frequent use of steel traces and durable tackle including a stiff rod for a hard strike.
NOMARA’s Top 5 Treehouse Sleepouts
NOMARA Africa Travel Top 5 Luxury Treehouse Sleepouts in East and Southern Africa
There are safari experiences you remember because you saw a leopard. Then there are the ones you remember because of how you felt. A luxury treehouse sleepout sits firmly in the second category.
It is one night, sometimes just a few hours, where the bush does not switch off when you head back to camp. You stay out there. Elevated, comfortable, and looked after, with the night sounds all around you and the sky doing what it does best in Africa.
Gorilla Trekking in Uganda, Our Bwindi Encounter
There is plenty of talk around gorilla trekking
Before you go, it can sound like hype. After you go, once you have pushed through thick rainforest, felt safari ants testing your ankles, and finally settled into the undergrowth with a gorilla family nearby, you understand why it stays with people for years.
What To Expect On Safari
Your Day, Your Pace, Your Africa
No two safaris feel the same. The same plain in two different months can behave like two different worlds. Grass length shifts, pans fill and empty, birds change their rhythm, predators adjust their patterns, and the light takes on a new tone.
What To Pack For Your First Safari
There Is Always a Season
There is a moment on your first morning when the birds start up and the sky lifts from grey to gold. You pull on a warm layer, step into the cool, and the bush feels wide awake. Packing well makes that moment easy. No scramble. No second-guessing. Just you, the light, and a day that is already taking shape.
When to Travel to Africa
There Is Always a Season
Here is the good news for anyone dreaming of an African journey. There is always somewhere worth visiting. Southern Africa, East Africa, and the Indian Ocean islands span deserts and deltas, highlands and forests, reef-rimmed coasts and inland lakes. That variety creates a year-round calendar of moments.
