What is it About Sunsets?
Sunsets are like fireworks. No matter how many we’ve seen before, we all watch them again and again. What is it about sunsets? I confess – I’m a total sunset junkie! Can’t get enough of them. Who isn’t mesmerized watching…
The Wonders of Nature
The longer you spend on safari in Africa, the more you are awed by the wonders of nature. It’s not just the huge numbers of different species of animals, birds, insects and trees in the wilderness that takes your breath…
Back to Our Roots
Humankind’s roots in Africa are over 2 million years old. But it’s only in the last 100,000 years that our intrepid forbears started a relentless pursuit of open space, spreading out frontier by frontier, all over the world. Whenever it…
You Can’t Run – But You Can Hide
We never get closer to wildlife in their natural habitat than when we’re inside a Hide. Eye-level to the waterhole, the animals don’t even know we’re there. Or if they do, they pretend they don’t notice us so as not…
Are You a Keystone Individual?
The keystone is the most important part of a stone archway. It’s the wedge-shaped stone at the very top of the arch – like the one in this picture. The ancient Romans figured out that it is the keystone that…
Lions: Uneasy Lies the Crown
Lions. Everybody wants to see Africa’s King of the Beasts. They’re truly magnificent creatures, beautiful, graceful, social - and lethal! Most people on safari see them resting under a tree in the daytime heat. The lucky ones see them feasting…
Meeting the Children, Africa’s Future
Bet you didn’t think you’d go on safari to meet local children! There are many unique and special aspects you will enjoy in the Tasimba experience. Meeting the kids is just one of them. Our previous guests have said that…
Africa for the Birds
People don’t come to Africa to see birds. At least, not on their very first visit. Most guests only have eyes for the “big” animals – elephants, lions, buffalo, giraffe, cheetah, zebra, even hippos. That’s no big surprise! Then, after…
For the Love of Elephants
"The question is, are we happy to suppose that our grandchildren may never be able to see an elephant except in a picture book?" -Sir David Attenborough Every day should be World Elephant Day. Not just today, August 12th. Every day…
Exclusively Yours
Tasimba has many special qualities that set it apart from other safaris. Perhaps the most unique of all is that we take exclusive, sole occupancy of an entire, luxury safari camp. For a full week, the only guests in our…

“It’s an (insert your word here) Experience”
From our very first trip in March 2016, we have used words like “unique” and “unforgettable” to describe the Tasimba Experience. It is our guests though who really know what Tasimba is and who have all used so many other…
Our Tasimba Blog
If you’ve been lucky enough to join one of our Tasimba safaris, you’d know that where we go is teeming with elephants. It is, as the locals say, “where the ele’s are”. Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe and its cross-border neighbor, Chobe…
Tasimba – When’s the Best Time to Go?
We’re often asked “When’s the best time to go on a Tasimba Safari?” The answer is simple really: “Anytime we have a trip planned!” One of the reasons we originally chose Linkwasha in Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe as Tasimba’s…
What’s Your Totem?
If I asked you “What’s your totem?” you’d probably think I was on some strange medication. But if you ask that same question to the warm and friendly Zimbabweans who we meet on safari, every one of them will proudly…
