Your First Safari
To help you plan your first Africa safari, we’ve put together a guide to the most important things to consider when planning your first safari. From deciding where to go on your safari and answering “how much does a safari cost?” to drawing up your “must-see” species list, this is where to get started.
When to goWe’ve asked our safari experts to detail the best, the good, and the times to avoid our favourite destinations in Africa. Wondering where you can see the Great Migration in February or what the best time to visit South Africa is? Our safari specialists have broken it down month-by-month across our top destinations to answer your safari timing questions. Discover where to go and when for your next safari.
Family SafarisAn African safari is the ultimate family adventure. Imagine spotting a leopard prowling across grass plains, seeing elephants amble past your vehicle, and hearing lions roar through the night… a family safari is one of the most unforgettable experiences you can share with your loved ones.
Whether you’re travelling with small children, with teenagers, or as part of a multi-generational group, our safari specialists will get to know your group and design a trip to suit everyone’s interests. Our expert team is on hand to advise on family-friendly lodges, malaria-free safaris, and activities to keep all ages entertained.
Honeymoon SafarisExperience an unforgettable honeymoon with a luxury African safari. Combining romance, adventure, and luxury accommodation at world-class safari lodges, Africa is a wonderful option for a romantic holiday. Popular honeymoon destinations include Botswana for exclusive land and water-based safaris, South Africa for Big Five safaris and world-class winelands, Tanzania for the Serengeti and Zanzibar beach escapes, and Namibia for dramatic desert landscapes.
Whether you’re looking for luxury romance on a bush-and-beach combination trip or are adventurous travellers seeking an off-the-beaten-track honeymoon, our safari specialists will create a tailor-made, personalised honeymoon itinerary for you.
The Great MigrationThe Great Migration is the annual journey of well over a million wildebeest, zebra, and gazelles as they follow the rains in search of fresh grazing. This year-round cycle takes them across the Serengeti in Tanzania and the Maasai Mara in Kenya, and notable events include the famous river crossings and the calving season. This is nature’s greatest show, and witnessing the thundering herds, along with the predators in pursuit, is a bucket list-worthy experience for safari-goers from around the world.
Revel in the wonder of the wildebeest migration. Our experts are here to ensure you have a memorable experience and can advise on the best way to see this epic wildlife event, including when to go and where to stay.
