A Tanzania safari offers extremes ranging from the Serengeti wildebeest migration, to chimp trekking in the Mahale Mountains or wild walking in the Selous or Tarangire, to the Swahili culture & beaches of Zanzibar.
From outstanding big game in the Masai Mara, Samburu or Amboseli to relaxed family or adventurous walking & riding safaris on the Laikipia Plateau or Chyulu Hills, Kenya has much to offer. The wide choice of camps & lodges, authentic safari & varied experiences are Kenya’s trademark.
Botswana is a country of extremes. The lush wildlife & vegetation of the Okavango Delta & Linyanti water systems give on to the harsh landscapes of the Kalahari Desert & white expanses of the Makgadikgadi Pans where the bushman tribes rub survive alongside unique animals.
Zambia’s reputation has been made by the intense wildlife concentrated on the Lower Zambezi & the South Luangwa Rivers. Wild walking in North Luangwa, the great Victoria Falls, the vast plains of the Kafue & the remote parks of Bangweulu & Kasanka add wonderful diversity.
Namibia is unlike any other African country. The desert landscapes of the Namib, Skeleton Coast, Sossusvlei & Damaraland are simply surreal. The culture & remoteness of the Kunene region or wildlife of Etosha & the Caprivi make Namibia a varied & unusual destination.
Zimbabwe still offers some of the best wildlife experiences in southern Africa. You can walk among big game in Mana Pools or see herds of hundreds of elephant in Hwange National Park. The rock art and rhino in the sacred Matobo Hills or the spectacle of the Victoria Falls complement a safari here.
Best known for gorillas in the Bwindi & Mgahinga Forests, an experience in Uganda offers much more. Look further to the remoteness of Kidepo and the Rwenzoris, or the diversity of birds, animals & scenery of Semliki, Murchison Falls & Queen Elizabeth National Parks.
The scattered islands of the Quirimbas & Bazaruto Archipelagos make for a beach holiday escape that is truly off the map. For off-the-beaten track wilderness, you can’t go far wrong with the Niassa Reserve in the far north, or Gorongosa National Park – both delightfully undeveloped.
