Where to Go on Your Ultimate African Safari
South Africa
If you're looking for the full package on an African safari, then South Africa is a good place to start. Vibrant vistas of every variety, a wealth of wildlife and some of the leading luxury accommodations on our continent make it a must-visit destination. We're particularly proud of our home and firmly believe it offers the very best in Africa.
One of the things that sets South Africa apart as a destination is its diversity. It truly is a world in one country. With beaches, mountains, culture, cuisine, vineyards, wildlife and more, there's so much to see and do. In fact, you can have an amazing trip without leaving its borders!

Kenya
An iconic safari destination, Kenya is probably one of the first places that comes to mind when you think of African travel. The sprawling savannah and millions of wildebeest during the Great Migration are the signature depictions of this dream destination. And there's even more good gnus! Kenya has an abundance of wildlife and is arguably the best place on earth to see the Big 5.
However, Kenya is more than just a safari destination. It offers contrasting landscapes, from the snow-covered Mount Kenya peaks to the sun-kissed beaches of the Indian Ocean, with mountains, forests, deserts, and large lakes mixed in between. What are you waiting for? It's time to explore!

Botswana
Want to dive head-first into the African wild? Look no further than Botswana. Diverse scenery matched only by the wildlife offerings makes this an exceptional destination for those wanting to make the most of their African travels. Plus, it's wonderfully remote for the ultimate digital detox and wellness getaway.
Chobe and the Okavango Delta showcase watery landscapes in spectacular fashion, whilst the Central Kalahari, Kgalagadi and Makgadikgadi Pans (try saying that fast three times) bring a stark yet captivating contrast with their dry, dusty landscapes.
If the scenery isn't enough for you, don't worry. Botswana's wildlife certainly packs a punch. This Big 5 paradise has some of the best game viewing in Africa and the opportunity to do so from the water, too. And what would such a fantastic safari destination be without a smattering of luxury to sweeten the deal? Home to a plethora of top-class luxury lodges, this southern African stunner will wrap you in its embrace and have you begging for more.
