Safaris

Top Safari Holiday Destinations

• Kenya Safaris - Witnessing East Africa’s Great Migration is near the top of most animal-lovers’ bucket lists. It’s something many people dream of and save for their entire lives. And Kenya is one of only two countries in which you can see it. The Maasai Mara National Reserve is a prime destination for witnessing the annual Great Migration. Every year millions of Gazelles, Wildebeest, and Zebras make the arduous 500-mile trek northwest to Kenya in search of water and fresh grass. The famous crossing at the Mara River, where hungry Crocodiles lie in wait, is unlike any other safari spectacle you’re likely to see. The Mara is the also home to Lions, Leopards, Cheetahs, Elephants, Buffalo, Hyenas, and more than 470 species of birds.
• Botswana Safaris - Thanks to its stable government and progressive social policies, Botswana is now one of Africa’s burgeoning ecotourism hotspots. Its tremendous opportunities for wildlife safaris include exploring the Okavango Delta via a traditional canoe (a.k.a. mokoro), birdwatching in the Okavango Panhandle, mingling with the 120,000 elephants estimated to reside in Chobe National Park, and having a traditional Big 5 safari experience at Moremi..
• Tanzania Safaris - As the starting point for the annual Great Migration, Serengeti National Park is arguably the country’s most famous safari destination. Serengeti is the Maasai word for “endless plains,” which is an accurate description of the impossibly scenic landscape. Spanning some 12,000 square miles, the Serengeti is packed with Lion prides, Leopards, and vast herds of Elephants, Giraffes, Zebras, Impala, and Wildebeests.
• Uganda Safaris - There’s no doubt Uganda has been blessed with more than its fair share of natural beauty.There’s chimpanzee tracking (in Kyambura Gorge) and sighting the unusual tree-climbing lions (in the Ishasha sector) in Queen Elizabeth National Park. You can take a wildlife-watching cruise along the Nile River in Murchison Falls National Park, which is home to 450 species of birds and 76 species of mammals. And of course there’s trekking to see Mountain Gorillas in the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest (home to nearly half the world’s remaining population).

• India wildlife safaris - India is home to a whopping 70% of the world's wild Tiger population, so it’s no surprise that the big cat is the country’s national animal. There are now 50 tiger reserves on the subcontinent, all managed under the watchful eye of the National Tiger Conservation Authority of India (formerly known as Project Tiger). But of course the Tiger is not the only endemic animal you can see on a wildlife safari in India. The ecosystems are home to more than 1,300 bird species, Asian Elephants, Asiatic Lions, Indian Leopards, Sloth Bears, Langurs, Wolves, and the increasingly endangered Dhole (or Indian wild dog).

How long are your safari holidays?

Almost every trip is different to the next, but you could be spotting stunning wildlife for eight to 18 days including your flight time. That’s just over a week of classic safari drives through Kenya, or closer to three in the build up to a special hour in the company of Uganda’s mountain gorillas.   

Are your safari holidays guided?

Just like life for many of the incredible animals you’ll come across, it’s better to be a part of the pack. Each one of our sensational safaris take place in a guided group, which is an ideal way to navigate vast natural landscapes and meet like-minded travellers along the way. Your dedicated tour leaders will not only know each area better than anyone else, but the animals too, and will be able to offer you priceless insights into their every movement and behaviour.    

If you’d prefer to go it alone or in your own group, we also offer private safari experiences. Speak to our experienced private adventures team about setting up your dream wildlife adventure.
