Unique & Romantic Wildlife Experiences: Animals that mate for life and where to view them
DIK-DIKS
From $8,500 pp for 7 nights

Dik-diks stay together as couples until death. When one inevitably dies before the other, the remaining animal becomes suicidal and can even surrender to a predator due to loneliness.
The best place to see dik-diks is Sasaab in Samburu, Kenya. Perched on the edge of a river valley, the architecture of Sasaab blends Swahili and Moroccan design principles in which the African heat is of primary consideration. From a game drive to a walking safari, there are plenty of opportunities to come together and celebrate everlasting love.
AFRICA FISH EAGLE
From $8,500 pp for 7 nights
Best time to visit: May - November
Showing romance isn’t dead, these birds mate for life yet the male must still court the female each year. The African fish eagle is an iconic symbol in Africa.

Nestled before the entrancing panorama of the South Luangwa River, the six luxurious safari tents melt into the canvas of Zambia’s serene riverside – a truly magical setting.

Dinner under the starlit sky, made with delicious homegrown produce, provides the perfect way to end the day, surrounded by the warmth of the fire pit on top of your veranda or on the riverfront deck.
GIBBONS
From $13,000 pp for 7 nights
Best time to visit: March - October
These distant relatives are similar to humans in more than just DNA. Gibbons is the only species closely related to humans who form long-term monogamous pair bonds. They pair up for life and form a family that stays together until the offspring grow up and leave home. Always together, the coupled male and female will spend time grooming each other and (literally) hanging out together in the trees. These acts of togetherness reinforce their connection, and they serenade each other with complex songs to literally shout their love from the treetops.
While most visit Borneo for the orangutans, there is an abundance of Gibbons to be found in their natural habitat there. Visit Camp Leakey and stay onboard a Klotok boat – a traditional Indonesian boat – as you cruise upriver to and from the park.
