| Special Safaris - I live for those rare moments in the Wild! |
Those rare moments when you spot a leopard with her cubs, or a lioness stalking her prey... We at Wild Times want to share these with you and have chosen the ideal locations for this purpose.
"My dream safari is one of close contact with animals. Observing wildlife in its natural environment in the company of an experienced guide deepens my experience of that "Out-of-Africa" feeling. In the midst of the vast African plains, smelling the wild grass or experiencing the lion's magnificent roar are some of the reasons why I feel so passionate about the wild."
Not to be missed if you love wildlife...

The Ponds In Africa
One of the greatest things about safaris is that you never know what‘s going to happen next. Almost the first thing we saw was a huge matriarch elephant scratching her bottom on a jagged tree stump, a look of utter bliss on her face. The second, a randy young lion trying to have it off with an older female and getting a great clout across the face from a huge paw as she rejected him. |

A Wild Wild Place - Ruaha National Park
There are not many places left in Africa that I consider to be wild and relatively unexplored. Ruaha National Park is one of these. Approximately two hours flying time in a light aircraft heading due west from Dar es Salaam (also accessible by road for the more adventurous), will bring you to this beautiful reserve which is home to no more than a handful of lodges and camps offering varying standards and styles of accommodation to the visitor. |

Arusha National Park
Arusha National Park is a multi-faceted jewel, often overlooked by safari goers, despite offering the opportunity to explore a beguiling diversity of habitats within a few hours. |

Ngamba Island
In Africa, approximately 5,000 chimpanzees are killed by poachers for the bushmeat trade every year. As a by-product of this illegal practice, dozens of infant chimpanzees are taken alive from forests, bound for the pet trade throughout Africa and the rest of the world. As a measure to compliment the legal enforcement efforts of the Ugandan Wildlife Authority against this undesirable trade, establishing a refuge with a specific mission for these orphaned chimpanzees was inevitable. |
