While the Galapagos Islands are known for their beautiful beaches and amazing animals, they also have their fair share of supernatural stories. One tale is of a hot-tempered U.S. solider who, upon finding out his girlfriend cheated on him, threw her down the cliffs of Baltra Island, where she lost her head. After her tragic end, sightings of the apparition are said to have appeared to men on the island, luring them to an isolated location before revealing her wrath in the for...m of a headless screaming ghost. Another much less menacing story is of a spirit that sails around the islands on one of Quasar Expeditions’ luxury yachts, the M/V Evolution. Prior to cruising the Galapagos, the M/V Evolution was a Japanese fishing boat. One of the fishermen passed away on the boat, and now his friendly ghost roams the halls late at night, opening and closing doors at random.

At nearly 2,000 years old, the rare Baobab Tree is one of the world’s oldest flowering plants and is found in the Malilangwe Reserve at Singita’s Pamushana Lodge in Zimbabwe. Dwarfing the surrounding vegetation at 30 meters tall, there are many local legends about the tree including that God planted the trees on their heads, due to the massive trunk which gives rise to thick tapering branches resembling a root system -- like an upside-down tree. The flowers of the Baobab Tree... have an incredibly short lifespan and open around dusk, so quickly that movement can be detected by the naked eye and disappear by the next morning. The tree and it’s fruit provide a source of water, fiber, dye and food for the people of Zimbabwe and has been used for centuries. Perched high on a sandstone ridge above the Malilangwe Dam, Singita Pamushana is set within the 130,000-acre Malilangwe Wildlife Reserve in Zimbabwe’s remote southeast corridor. With private access to this untouched wilderness, guests can immerse themselves in nature on twice-daily game drives, bush walks, sundowner boat cruises, excursions to rock art sites and more.
