Safari in Africa

Going on a safari in Africa is one of the most incredible wildlife experiences in the world. The African savannah provides the perfect habitat for viewing majestic animals in their natural environment. On a typical African safari, your days will be spent exploring national parks and reserves in open-air safari vehicles, hoping to spot lions, elephants, rhinos, giraffes, zebras and more.

Some of the best places in Africa to go on safari include South Africa, Kenya, Tanzania, Botswana and Zimbabwe. In South Africa, Kruger National Park is renowned for its massive elephant and rhino populations and offers excellent game viewing all year round. Kenya is home to Maasai Mara and Amboseli National Parks, which both have spectacular wildebeest migrations every year. Tanzania is famous for its Ngorongoro Crater, where thousands of animals live inside the caldera of an extinct volcano.

In Botswana, the Okavango Delta is renowned for having some of the highest densities of wildlife on the entire continent, including endangered species like wild dogs and cheetahs. Chobe National Park in northern Botswana is another top safari destination, where huge herds of elephants congregate along the banks of the Chobe River. For epic wildlife sightings, Zimbabwe’s Hwange National Park and Mana Pools National Park rarely disappoint with their abundant elephant, lion and buffalo populations.

While on safari, your days will be spent exploring these pristine wilderness areas in comfortable open-top 4×4 safari vehicles fitted with protective rooftop hatches so you can stand up for unobstructed views. The best time of day for game viewing is early morning and late afternoon, when animals are most active and visible. With some luck and perseverance, your guides will find lions lounging lazily in the shade, enormous herds of Cape buffalo, or small families of giraffes meandering elegantly through the bushveld. At night, you’ll cozy up around the campfire and listen to stories from your guide under a awe-inspiring African sky filled with stars. An African safari truly is the experience of a lifetime and will create unforgettable memories.
