Africa is a huge continent and one that we have been exploring for many years, there are so many great destinations and we really believe that there is something for everyone. That said, we do not try and deal with the whole continent, we specialise in the areas that we know so that we can give genuine expert advice, as a small company we feel that our strength is in our knowledge and the useful fact that this knowledge happens in some of the best safari destinations in Africa as well as a few of the most beautiful beach destinations we have ever visited for a relaxing add on after your safari…
Zambia is rightly gaining popularity as one of the top destinations in Africa, we feel that it has so much to offer no matter what you are looking to get from your trip. Zambia is the spiritual home of the walking safari but also has some of the best multi-activity destinations on the continent, the Lower Zambezi for example offers walking, boating, canoeing and fishing alongside more traditional game driving activities.
From the endless plains of the Serengeti and the classic circuit in the north of the country to the most remote parts of Western Tanzania, this place has it all; great game, excellent camps and some unforgettable experiences. There are ideal trips for photographers, families and those looking for something adventurous. Tanzania has so many possibilities that it is daunting to know where to start, let us take the hard work out of planning your trip.
With some of the best wildlife strongholds on the planet, some of the most spectacular wilderness areas and camps ranging from adventurous through to the ultimate in luxury in Africa it is no wonder that Botswana has built itself such an incredible reputation. Botswana is often written off as too expensive but there are fantastic opportunities here from modest budgets all the way through to the most expensive safaris on the continent.
Kenya is one of the most visited tourist destinations in Africa. It has a reputation for some of the best game viewing on the continent, and rightly so, the Masaai Mara is home to some of the best populations of big cats that we have ever seen. The north of the country still has some incredible remote wilderness areas such as the amazing Samburu. When all this is combined with the coast it makes it a perfect option for safari and beach combinations.
In the last few years South Africa has become an incredible option, the safari is strong when you know where to go and some of the lodges are absolutely world class, it also offers a standard of experience and luxury for a price that cannot be easily achieved elsewhere in Africa. South Africa can also offer things that nowhere else can and that is a city break, scenic self drive itineraries, food and wine holidays and beach breaks…such incredible diversity all in one place.
Namibia is one of the best up and coming destinations in Africa, it is possibly the most scenically pleasing country in Africa with some of the best landscapes that we have come across anywhere in the world. With the oldest deserts old the planet and some fascinating wildlife that has become adapted to these harsh conditions, coupled with great roads this is one of our top places to get out on the open road.
Safari is amazing and for us there is very little better than waking up early and watching the sun come up with a coffee before setting out to see what we can see, however, there is a lot to be said for a bit of relaxation at the end of your safari holiday. If you have the time to add a beach extension and would like some time to simply sit back and watch the world go by, then check out our overview of a few of the options…
