Legendary safari guide Jackson Looseyia & Olympic horsewoman Lucinda Green to lead trips for Aardvark Safaris
Masai Mara and Mountain Gorillas with Jackson Looseyia - March 2012
Masai guide extraordinaire and regular presenter on the BBC's Big Cat Diary, Jackson Looseyia, is hosting a 10 night safari in his Masai Mara homeland before taking his party onto track the mountain gorillas in Rwanda. Though intimately familiar with the Mara, Jackson has never visited the gorillas before. This will be a wonderful opportunity to learn from a true expert about the wildlife in one of the world’s most famous national parks and to experience with him, for the first time, the magical spectacle of the mountain gorillas.
Horses and Horizons - Ride with Lucinda Green through Botswana’s extraordinary Makgadikgadi Salt Pans and Kalahari Desert - December 2011
We have teamed up with Lucinda Green, former world champion eventer and six time Badminton winner to host a stunning riding safari across Botswana's Makgadikgadi Salt Pans. Crossing this truly exceptional landscape with its vast pans, sprawling woodlands and grassy islands at the height of the migration season - the area is awash with zebra, wildebeest, hartebeest and ostrich and the attendant predators - will be an unforgettable riding experience. Leaving the horses for the occasional game drive you can track the elusive brown hyena and search for meerkat families, one of the Kalahari’s most fascinating inhabitants. Until now riding in Botswana has been in the watery paradise that is the Okavango Delta but this holiday opens up a whole new world of habitat and scenery and is totally different to anything currently available.
