What is it like for a solo female traveller on safari?
What is it really like to go on safari as a solo female traveller?
In this episode, Shelby shares her firsthand experience of travelling and experiencing safari as a woman travelling on her own. She breaks down what you can actually expect, from arriving at the lodge and joining game drives to dining alone, meeting other guests, staying safe, and navigating the experience without a travel companion.
We also get into some of the things that are rarely talked about when it comes to solo safari travel, including whether it can feel isolating, how easy it is to connect with other guests, what the lodge experience is really like, and why travelling solo doesn't necessarily mean experiencing safari alone.
Whether you're considering your first solo safari or simply wondering what the experience is like, Shelby shares an honest, firsthand look at the realities, little surprises and unforgettable moments that come with exploring Africa on your own.

What Does a Safari Travel Agency Actually Do?
What Does a Safari Travel Agency Actually Do? | The All Out Safaris Podcast
What does a safari travel agency actually do, and why should you use one when planning your safari?
In this episode of the All Out Safaris Podcast, Josh and Shelby break down what really happens behind the scenes when you book a safari through a specialist travel agency.
Planning a safari can be far more complicated than simply choosing a lodge and booking a room. With hundreds of lodges, reserves, routes, flight options and different safari experiences to choose from, knowing what works best for you can make all the difference.
Josh and Shelby explain how a specialist safari travel agency helps you choose the right destinations and lodges, build the right itinerary, coordinate transfers and flights, manage bookings and availability, and ultimately take the stress and uncertainty out of planning your trip.
They also discuss why having someone who understands the destinations, lodges and safari industry can be particularly valuable when things don't go exactly according to plan.
Whether you're planning your first African safari or you're a seasoned safari traveller, this episode explains why the right travel agency can be so much more than simply a booking middleman.

Changing Lives in Johannesburg: Joel Kirby & Onthatile Children’s Ministries
A couple of weeks ago on the The All Out Safaris Podcast, we sat down with our friend Joel Kirby, founder and managing director of Onthatile Children's Ministries in Johannesburg, South Africa.
In this episode, Joel shares the heart behind the work they’re doing to uplift and support vulnerable children, and the incredible impact that purpose-driven community initiatives can have.
Alongside that mission, we also discovered a shared passion for the wildlife and natural beauty of South Africa, which led to a meaningful conversation about conservation, stewardship, and how the wild places of Africa inspire a deeper sense of responsibility and purpose.
This episode is about hope, faith, community, and the wild landscapes that connect us all.

Why leopards are our favourite animal to see on safari
There is just something different about a leopard sighting.
In this episode, we unpack why leopards are hands down our favourite animal to see on safari and why they never lose their magic, no matter how many times you have seen one.
From their elusive nature and unmatched stealth to the heart racing build up of tracking them, leopards turn every sighting into a moment you will never forget. We talk about what makes them so special compared to the rest of the Big Five, why they are a photographer’s dream, and the emotional rush that comes with finally locking eyes with one in the wild.
We also share personal stories from guiding and hosting safaris across South Africa, including the close calls, the golden light moments, and the sightings that still give us goosebumps.
If you have ever felt your pulse spike when someone whispers, “There is a leopard here,” this episode is for you.
Tune in as we talk about Africa’s most iconic ghost.

Does your photography gear matter? Is it the camera or the photographer?
Does your gear really matter? Or is it all about skill?
In this episode of The All Out Safaris Podcast, we tackle one of the most debated questions in photography, especially in wildlife and safari photography:
Is it the camera and lenses that make the image… or the photographer behind them?
We break down:
Whether expensive camera gear actually improves your photos
What truly makes the biggest difference in wildlife photography
How much skill, experience, and understanding of light, behaviour, and composition really matter
The reality for photographers heading on safari with entry-level vs professional gear
When upgrading gear makes sense and when it doesn’t
Whether you’re an aspiring wildlife photographer, a content creator planning your first safari, or a seasoned shooter wondering if that next upgrade is worth it, this episode will help you focus on what actually improves your images.
Because at the end of the day, the best camera is the one you know how to use.
