Ethical fundraising travel expeditions across Africa, Helping organisations & communities along the way!

There are some moments on expedition that stay wit There are some moments on expedition that stay with you because of what you saw. And others because of what you discovered you were capable of! 

For Karen, who joined us from the United States for her very first visit to Africa, the transition from bush to beach at Thonga Beach Lodge became one of those moments.

She threw herself into every opportunity, heading out to snorkel before challenging herself even further with a deep sea safari. The weather may not have played along, but Karen certainly did. And Africa rewarded her with the most incredible sighting of a huge pod of spinner dolphins out at sea. 🐬

This is one of our favourite things to witness on a Blue Sky expedition. Women saying yes to something that scares them a little. Trying something they may never have imagined themselves doing. Stepping outside their comfort zones and coming back with huge smiles and that unmistakable “Did I really just do that?” look on their faces. 

Karen, you absolutely embraced this adventure. We loved watching you take on every experience that came your way, and we loved having you as part of this expedition. 💙

While staying at Thonga Beach Lodge, our ladies traded the ocean for the still waters of Lake Sibaya, heading out for sundowners on the edge of South Africa’s largest natural freshwater lake.

Tucked within the extraordinary iSimangaliso Wetland Park, Lake Sibaya feels wonderfully removed from the rest of the world. Its waters stretch quietly into the distance, catching the last light of the day as the sun begins to disappear.

Glasses in hand and good company beside us! 

There are sunsets you photograph. And then there are sunsets you simply sit with.

This was one of those. 🤍

🦏 On World Rhino Day, we celebrate these magnificent animals and the people who work tirelessly to make sure moments like this still have a place in our wild spaces.

To the rangers, conservation teams, researchers, vets and organisations doing the hard work on the ground, often far from the spotlight, we see you and we are deeply grateful for you.

Conservation is woven into the journeys we take. Wherever possible, our expeditions connect with and support organisations working directly in the landscapes we are privileged enough to explore. 🩵

🦏 Here’s to every calf born wild, every rhino still roaming free, and every pair of boots on the ground working to keep it that way.

Our first official morning in the bush at @bayalaprivatesafarilodge gave us the official 'pinch me' moment. Waking up to the sounds of the bush and heading off on a game drive where you give yourself full permission to sink into where you are, breathe in the fresh morning air, and say "I can't believe I am finally here!"

🩵 Such a full heart and so much excitement for what else is still to come on the road ahead!

Funny how the smallest things can become some of the best memories. 💙

Today on International Vulture Awareness Day, we’r Today on International Vulture Awareness Day, we’re celebrating the incredible birds that have completely captured our hearts. 🫶🏼

Our love and appreciation for vultures has grown through the time we’ve been privileged to spend in the field with the incredible EWT Birds of Prey team. Their knowledge, passion and dedication are infectious, and every day spent alongside them leaves us with a deeper understanding of just how beautiful and important these birds are.

With many of our vulture species facing a critical fight for survival, it’s a privilege to support this work through our expeditions and play a small part in their conservation.

🩵 So today, a big shout-out to the vultures, and to the remarkable people working tirelessly to protect them!

🫶Some moments deserve a revisit. This World Elepha 🫶Some moments deserve a revisit. This World Elephant Day, we’re throwing it back to one of the most extraordinary days in Blue Sky Society Trust history.

On 8 August 2020, while much of the world was in lockdown, we joined our long-time conservation partners, Elephants Alive, in Hoedspruit for a world-first: a virtual elephant collaring! 👏

With travel at a standstill, we found a way to bring the bush to elephant lovers around the world. Around 250 to 300 people tuned in live to watch the collaring operation unfold from their homes, while Painted Dog TV quite literally made a plan in the middle of the bushveld to get the signal out! 

The result? An incredible R260,000 raised, enough to fund two elephant collars and support the vital research that helps conservationists better understand and protect these giants.

We’ve worked alongside Elephants Alive since 2016, and looking back at this day reminds us just how much can be achieved when passionate people, conservation expertise and a slightly crazy idea come together.

Six years later, we remain incredibly proud of this one and grateful to all the people across the globe who supported us! 

Happy World Elephant Day to the giants who have given us some of our greatest adventures, taught us so much and continue to give us every reason to keep showing up for their future.🐘

All collaring operations are carried out by experienced wildlife veterinarians and conservation professionals, with the safety and welfare of the elephants as the highest priority.
