Kwazulu Expedition

 🍍🍭It’s Pineapple Lolly Time! 😋

Day 1 of our Kwazulu Expedition and already we are blown away by this unspoilt tropical region in the far north of South Africa, right on the border with Mozambique. First up - safari time at Thula Thla, home of iconic conservationist and best-selling author, Lawrence Anthony.

It was at Thula Thula that Lawrence’s first book plays off - The Elephant Whisperer. The real-life tale of South African Lawrence,  who falls in love with chic Parisienne, Françoise, moves halfway around the world, and end up adopting a rogue herd of elephants to save these majestic beasts from being culled. 🐘🛟 It is the stuff of legends!

We loved spending time with the herd, learning about each of the different elephants and their unique characteristics and getting to hear more about Lawrence and Françoise’s story and the incredibly important conservation work that Lawrence started and Françoise continues after his death.
