Safari Adventures: Unforgettable experiences in 2024

Posted by Margaux on Fri December 20, 2024.

As we bid farewell to 2024, it's time to reflect on a year brimming with adventure, discovery, and unforgettable experiences with Hylton Langley Safaris. From the breathtaking landscapes of Africa to the heart-pounding wildlife encounters, our clients have been part of some truly remarkable journeys.

Unparalleled Safari Destinations


This year, we organized 21 extraordinary safari trips for 125 of our adventurous clients, exploring over 17 of Africa's wilderness reserves and booking over 150 nights across Africa. Each destination offered a unique glimpse into the continent's rich biodiversity, from the iconic Kruger National Park in South Africa to the awe-inspiring Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe.

Memorable Experiences

Our clients enjoyed a myriad of exhilarating activities:

  • Learning about marine ecology with a marine biologist in Mozambique.
  • Soaring above the Serengeti Plains in a hot air balloon during the Great Migration.
  • Running through the Masai Mara with a Kenyan.
  • Swimming in the Devil’s Pool on the Zambezi River.
  • Witnessing elephants swimming during a safari boat cruise on the Chobe River.
  • Sleeping under the stars in Kruger National Park.

Incredible Wildlife Encounters


Safari-goers were treated to some of the rarest wildlife sightings:

  • A dugong in its natural habitat.
  • Lions taking down a buffalo.
  • A pack of endangered African wild dogs.
  • A rare interaction between a black rhino cow, her calf, and a white rhino bull.
  • The elusive pangolin.
  • A white lioness and her cub from the Birmingham Pride.

Achievements and Milestones
This year has been one of growth and meaningful milestones for Hylton Langley Safaris. We are proud to have earned the prestigious TripAdvisor Traveler’s Choice Award, a reflection of our unwavering commitment to excellence. Our new logo marks the start of an exciting chapter, while our investment in solar energy has made our office 100% off-grid, aligning with our dedication to sustainability. A special highlight has been the generosity of our guests who contributed to our Community Upliftment Partnership Programs, providing invaluable resources to local communities bordering Kruger. Thank you for being part of this remarkable journey—together, we are making a difference and creating adventures that truly matter.
