Make the most of Bank Holidays this May
Working out how to make annual leave allowances stretch that little bit further can be a bit of an obsession for travel-hungry workers, but help is at hand from Native Escapes.
The tour operator, which specialises in luxury small group adventure trips in Southern Africa, has availability for trips leaving over both bank holidays during the month of May, giving a prime opportunity to use the bank holiday as part of a proper break.
Don the snorkel & mask and you could find yourself swimming with a pod of wild dolphins on our guided Wildlife, Tribes & Dolphins trip to South Africa & Mozambique this May Bank Holiday. Through a snorkel mask, it’s easy to see these curious mammals interacting with each other, but of course from the side of a boat they are equally fun to watch jumping out of the water alongside the boat. The excursion is run by a research project, and the welfare of the mammals is uppermost in organisers’ minds.
The trip includes Big 5 game drives with a qualified guide whose keen eyes are used to seeking out telling signs of wildlife presence, such as recent elephant tracks in the ground or a kettle of vultures circling prey overhead. Their trained eyes make the difference between spotting a camouflaged leopard and driving straight by it. Night-time wildlife activity is a real eye opener: a game drive after dark might involve keeping up with hippos running at up to 30mph!
Accommodation en route is a treat, and includes a small B&B with tropical gardens, and tented lodges set in the African bush or right on the beach complete with private en-suite facilities and verandas. Falling asleep to the sounds of the African bush after an evening spent round the fire is a special experience – and rivalled only by the enthusiastic dawn chorus as Africa’s birdlife announces the break of the new day.
