Every corner of this magnificent continent offers something unique, and the perfect destination for YOU depends on the kind of adventure you crave.
What’s most important?
Luxury of space and places-to-stay? Botswana is your go-to. Think private plunge pools, Michelin-star meals under the stars, and the most exclusive camps imaginable. Alternatives are available as well if seeing the Okavango Delta is your goal.
Authenticity above all else? Tanzania and Kenya are both fantastic options. These countries offer a classic Safari vibe, with incredible wildlife viewing, culture, and a sense of timeless adventure.
Ultra-unique encounters? Rwanda and Uganda tick this box. These lush, mountainous countries are home to magnificent mountain gorillas. Prepare to be humbled by these gentle giants as you trek your way through forests to get to know them up close.
How do you Safari?
‘See-it-all’ adventurer? South Africa’s your match! Combine the Big Five with bustling cities, stunning coastlines, wine country, and a Rainbow Nation of interesting cultures.
‘Slow and steady’ explorer? Zambia offers remote wilderness areas, walking safaris, and canoeing along peaceful rivers where you’ll want to linger longer so you can take your time and soak it all in.
What’s on your bucket list?
Hot air ballooning? Tanzania and Kenya are your place.
Walking with elephants in the wild or seeing Victoria Falls? Zambia’s your calling.
Witnessing the Great Migration? Tanzania or Kenya are where it’s at.
Combining bush, beach, and winery visits? South Africa awaits.
Gorilla trekking? Rwanda or Uganda are the places to be.
Staying away from crowds to see gorillas and chimps? Republic of the Congo or Western Tanzania will give you silence.
