How the Serval Got His Spots

June 17, 2015

An Ndebele Fable

In the beginning, Serval used to be the same tawny colour as lion, but he was much smaller and nowhere near as strong. The other animals often teased him, calling him “Lion’s Little Cousin.”Serval dreamed of having a magnificent coat like Leopard or Zebra. If he could not be big and strong, he could at least be handsome.

Tribes of South Africa: Meet the Ndebele People

March 13, 2015

By Jordan Knoll

With eleven official languages, South Africa is one of the most culturally diverse nations in the world. In 1994, Archbishop Desmond Tutu coined the phrase “rainbow nation” to describe South Africa’s unique multicultural makeup. Needless to say, the phrase stuck and it serves as an excellent metaphor for travelers to discover the many diverse peoples of South Africa.

My First Time in Africa: Traversing Tarangire

March 11, 2015

By Jordan Knoll

As difficult as it was to pull myself away from the magnificent views of Ngorongoro Crater, I was excited for the third and final leg on my safari in Tanzania: a stop in Tarangire National Park. En route I got a glimpse of the local culture in Karatu, and, in Tarangire, I experienced incredible elephant and bird sightings, learned about ancient baobab trees and stayed in accommodations that I can only describe as magical.

My First Time in Africa: The Magic of Ndutu & Ngorongoro

February 24, 2015

By Jordan Knoll

After experiencing wonderful game sightings on the Serengeti at the beginning of my safari in Tanzania, I wondered how other areas, such as Lake Ndutu and Ngorongoro Crater, could possibly compare. I didn’t have to worry. I was absolutely blown away by what I experienced in both Ndutu and Ngorongoro: the awesome landscapes and the diverse wildlife made the second leg of my Tanzania trip just as memorable as the first.

My First Time in Africa: A Safari on the Serengeti

February 9, 2015

By Jordan Knoll

I thought I was prepared for my first African safari in Tanzania—I packed light, brought a good camera, and was ready to become very familiar with my safari vehicle, where I would be spending many hours watching animals. But what I wasn’t prepared for was the feeling of being on safari. It’s difficult to describe, but when you are sitting in your safari vehicle, mere feet away from a lion out on the Serengeti, you feel both tremendously excited and calm. Time seems to slow down, and you acquire a deep sense of connection to the natural world around you that is truly unique. It’s an experience I will never forget, and one that I am delighted to be sharing in this new series of blog posts.
