African Safaris

The early days of safaris were focused on hunting, but today’s African Safari travelers have replaced rifles with cameras, seeking to capture the beauty of Africa’s wildlife without harming it. The “big five” are still a major attraction, but instead of hunting them, visitors hope to capture photos of these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat.

In fact, today’s safari travelers play an important role in conservation efforts by paying park fees that support conservation efforts. Many of the animals that were once hunted are now endangered, and as human populations continue to grow, the pressure on their habitats and survival increases.

We as safari companies recognize the importance of conservation and have made efforts to ensure that visitors have a minimal impact on the environment. Most camps and lodges are built to blend in with the surroundings, and many use sustainable practices like solar power and recycling. Visitors are also encouraged to be mindful of their impact on the environment by following park rules and leaving no trace behind.

Luxury African Safari Holidays

Experience unforgettable Luxury African Safari Holidays in the unspoiled natural beauty that is Africa.

Africa as a safari destination in unique. There can be no better adventure destination on the entire planet than Africa. Immensely gifted with some of the most unique wildlife, vegetation, landscape and considered the cradle of mankind, a safari here is bond to change your life forever.

Our All Inclusive African Safari Vacation packages are adventures that you’ll never forget. They’ll be wild at times, very civilised at others (cocktail hour for example!) and incredibly beautiful always.

There’s something to suit everyone: whether you see yourself riding in an open vehicle to track a pride of lions on the hunt, walking across the Masai Mara at dawn or flying over the Okavango Delta in a helicopter, we can turn your imagination into reality.

We know Africa and with the benefit of our firsthand experience we can help you make the best choices about the different destinations and types of African safaris when you’re faced with so many options.

Wildlife Safaris

Wildlife Safari adventures are one of the main ways first time visitors to Africa get to experience this continent. They are better expereienced in spacious, comfortable lodges and camps located in scenic stretches of Africa’s most popular game parks and reserves, offering a panorama of daily life in the African bush.

Best African Safari Vacation Destinations

While safaris can be found throughout Africa, there are certain destinations that are particularly popular for their abundance of wildlife and stunning landscapes. Here are some of the best safari destinations:

• Kenya: Home to the Maasai Mara and the Great Rift Valley, Kenya is a top destination for safari-goers. The annual wildebeest migration is a highlight, as is the chance to see the “big five”.
• Tanzania: Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park is one of the most iconic safari destinations in Africa, with vast plains teeming with wildlife. The Ngorongoro Crater is another must-see destination.
• South Africa: South Africa offers a variety of safari experiences, from the famous Kruger National Park to private game reserves like Sabi Sands. The country is also home to Cape Town , one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
• Botswana: With the Okavango Delta , Chobe National Park, and Moremi Game Reserve, Botswana is a top destination for safari-goers looking for a remote and wild experience.

Where To Go

You’ll either need to decide between southern and East Africa or combine these 2 great safari destinations.

Then, for classic scenery and thrilling African wildlife you can head for the great savannahs of Kenya and Tanzania , explore Botswana’s Okavango Delta or soak up the silence and soulfulness of Namibia’s great deserts.

If you’re looking for something a little different and off the beaten track, then consider one of our African safaris in Uganda, Zambia’s South Luangwa or southern Tanzania’s Selous Game Reserve or Ruaha National Park . If you can’t find what you’re looking for then check out our range of seriously remote and exclusive tours on our Luxury Holidays in Africa feature.

Safari Holidays

South Africa safaris holidays offer a range of experiences to suit everyone. Choose between the enormous diversity of the Kruger National Park or its more exclusive neighbour, the Sabi Sands Private Reserve , where you might see the Big 5 on a single game drive.

South Africa also offers malaria-free safaris – the Madikwe Game Reserve and the Eastern Cape’s many reserves are well-established and make a great pairing with a visit to other destinations such as Cape Town or the Garden Route .

To guide you further in your decision-making process, we’ve broken our African Safaris down into several types to suit your preference, personality and budget.

Africa Safari and Beach Holiday

A great Idea would be to experience an African Safari focussed holiday to Kenya, Tanzania, Botswana, South Africa, Malawi, Namibia or Zambia, then send a few days unwinding on some of Africa’s finest beach holiday destination the likes of Zanzibar, Mozambique, Seychelles or even Lamu.

Africa Safari Tours & Holidays

• Africa Safari Tours & Holidays

Take a walk on the wild side on an African safari.

The word “safari” means “journey” in Swahili. And a safari in Africa is all about the journey. While seeing a leopard munch on a freshly caught gazelle or spying a curious lion cub venture away from its mother’s protective embrace will be highlights of your trip, you’ll discover the journey is as much a part of your trip as the destination.

The road-trip games you play with your new travel mates, the feeling of the wind (and maybe a little dust) in your hair when you’re travelling down long, winding roads, and the young Maasai boy who waved at you as you passed him along the road will stay with you long after you return.

Spot the Big 5 in South Africa

Go on safari through Kruger National Park, one of the largest game reserves in Southern Africa . This massive park is one of the premier safari spots in all of Africa and for good reason; it’s home to over 500 bird species, 100 species of reptile and 150 mammal species, including the Big Five and the endangered African wild dog.

Go gorilla trekking in Uganda

Venture deep into the steamy jungles of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in search of the rare mountain gorilla. With a local guide to lead you, you’ll trek into the forest to spend one unforgettable hour watching and hanging out with a family of gorillas. A close encounter with these gentle giants is an extraordinary African experience that will always stay with you.

Float over the Serengeti

The only thing more magical than witnessing the great wildebeest migration across the Serengeti? Seeing it from the sky in a hot air balloon. As the herds of wildebeest and thousands of other animals travel from Serengeti National Park to the greener pastures of the Masai Mara National Reserve, you can watch their journey and enjoy incredible views from a unique perspective.

Canoe in the Okavango Delta

The Okavango Delta has a unique system of waterways that are home to an immense array of wildlife. The best way to explore it is in a mokoro, a traditional dugout canoe. Visit in May to September, when animals are confined to small islands created by the annual flood, making it easy to spot great herds of elephant and antelope, hippos, crocodiles, lions, cheetahs and more.

Where we stay on safari.

On our safari trips you’ll stay in billion-star accommodation. That’s our way of saying you’re sleeping under the night sky, camping in the great outdoors. On our Basix and sections of Original trips, you’ll stay in two-person canvas tents that our crew will help you set up. And on our Comfort trips, you’ll be staying in permanent tented camps and lodges (think glamping instead of camping).

Campsite facilities can sometimes be basic, but wherever possible, we make sure there are Western-style toilets and warm water available. But you’ll find it’s worth sacrificing a warm shower or two when you’re waking up to sunrise over the Masai Mara.

How we get around

On our safari trips, your main mode of transport is an overland truck, a purpose-built vehicle made for driving through Africa’s winding, and sometimes bumpy, country roads. While the trucks don’t have air conditioning, they do have sliding windows which let in the breeze and make it even easier to take spectacular snaps of the local wildlife. The trucks are also equipped with power outlets to charge your camera, phone and other devices on the go.

For more info on our overland trucks, see our Africa overland page .

African safari FAQs

When is the best time to go on safari.

Generally speaking, January, February and June to October are the best times to go on safari in Africa. This is the dry season, so animals tend to come out into more open spaces in search of water, making them easier to spot. However, you’ll be able to spot animals all year round and you’ll enjoy fewer crowds if you travel outside peak season.

Read more about the best time to go on safari .

Where is the best place to go on safari?

The best place to go on safari depends on what kind of animals you’d like to see and what other activities you’d like to do in destination. We offer safaris to some of the best safari destinations in eastern and southern Africa, like Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia and more.

Read more about how to choose your ideal African safari . 

Am I guaranteed to see animals on safari?

While we can’t guarantee you’ll spot the Big 5, you’d have to be profoundly unlucky to see no animals at all. On our trips, you’ll explore some of the best game parks and national reserves in the world. These protected areas are filled with a huge variety of different species and your expert driver and local leader will help you spot animals.

What are the “Big 5”?

The “Big 5” used to refer to the five big game animals that were the most difficult to hunt. Now that most shooting is done on a camera, the Big 5 are the most exciting animals to spot while on safari: the lion, leopard, rhinoceros, elephant, and Cape buffalo.

What should I pack for safari?

Loose, light clothing in neutral colours is the best attire for a safari (dark colours will get hot in the sun and can attract the Tsetse fly). You’ll also want a sun hat, some good walking shoes, a camera, sunscreen and bug spray. For more details, check out our ultimate Africa packing guide . 

What type of food will be served on safari?

On our Basix trips you’ll have a cook travelling with you while you are on safari who will whip up a variety of local flavours and Western-style dishes. Along your route, your cook will stop to purchase fresh, locally sourced food for your meals. You can expect a variety of things for breakfast like fruit, eggs, toast and cereal; lunch is often sandwiches and salads; and dinner is usually a hearty meal like pasta, curry or a BBQ.

On our Original and Comfort trips there will be more meals at camps and lodges along the way. No matter what you’re craving, you definitely will not be going hungry on safari.

What are the toilets and showers like on safari?

Most of the permanent tented camps will have a private bathroom with flushing toilets and showers with warm water. 

Many of the campsites we stay at have communal facilities with flushing toilets and showers with warm water. However, in some of the more remote areas, there may only be basic facilities (toilets and cold running water). 

Can you accommodate accessibility requirements on your safari tours?

We are committed to making travel accessible to everyone, so we will work with you to assess whether you will be able to complete an existing itinerary, or whether we will be able to make reasonable adjustments to meet your needs before you book. Please see our accessible travel page for more information. 

What is internet and phone access like on safari?

Some of our hotels and campsites will have Wi-Fi, however Internet and phone access may be limited in more remote areas. But you won’t miss it when you’re watching a pride of lions prowl through long grass or enjoying a drink around the campfire with your group. 

Responsible travel

Our stance on Animal Welfare

This world and the animals that call it home are precious, and we believe it’s our responsibility to help preserve them. We do not include or condone any activities that exploit animals on our safari trips, including hunting, feeding or interacting with animals in any way. We believe that wild animals should be observed in the wild, from a respectful distance. 

Some tips for being a wildlife-friendly traveller include never buying animal products, not participating in activities that include contact with the animals, and not including location tags on social media posts (some poachers have gone high-tech and use social media to track rare animals’ locations).

Safari Holidays

Once-in-a-lifetime safari holidays in africa.

Explore has over 35 years' experience in creating ground-breaking safari holidays to Africa's most iconic national parks and wildlife reserves. There is no better continent than Africa for the wildlife enthusiast. From primates to predators, from the spectacle of the wildebeest migration to the miracle of the Okavango Delta, the Mother Continent always delivers wildlife in abundance, dramatic landscapes and the best wilderness experience. However, Africa is no doubt an immense continent and encompasses an incredible variety of ecosystems, so making a decision on where to travel, can be rather challenging.  A safari holiday in Botswana provides many with the ultimate 'off the beaten track' wilderness experience. Its low impact policy means that the numbers of visitors are strictly monitored, which gives a sense of real privilege to those who venture in to this remote territory. Miraculously in the heart of the Kalahari - one of the most inhospitable, vast and arid deserts on the planet - is one of the richest wetland habitats: the Okavango Delta. This sophisticated system of intricate canals, waterways, lagoons and grasslands is home to some outstanding wildlife and can be explored by 4WD, canoe or even from a house boat. Safaris in Kenya offer world-renowned game reserves, most famously the Maasai Mara. Visit between July and October to witness the Great Migration, when millions of wildebeest, zebra and other herbivores migrate from the Serengeti to the grasslands of the Maasai Mara. Kenya is also home to Nakuru National Park, famous for its population of black rhino, and the Aberdare Mountains, which boasts spectacular views of Mount Kenya.   Namibia is popular for its deserts, canyons, enormous sand dunes and dramatic coastline and also features an enormous wildlife sanctuary, Etosha National Park.  Waterholes and huge salt pans are the main landmarks in the park and form an excellent backdrop for its prolific wildlife: zebra, antelopes, giraffe, rhino and of course, the big cats . A South African safari tour always visits Kruger National Park. This iconic park has enabled generations of travellers to observe the “ big five ” from close-up, while the Western Cape is the best place to see humpback whales and even penguins!

Why should I go on a small group tour for my safari holiday?

There is no better continent than African for wildlife enthusiasts. Our safari itineraries are expertly designed to take you to the best places for an unforgettable safari experience, at the best times of the year. Our small group tours take you into the heart of the national parks, with game drives at the best times of the day to spot the wildlife. Our local leaders have expert knowledge of the animals, including how to track them so you can get up close. We include unique accommodation in prime locations to immerse you in the animal kingdom (whilst also keeping you safe of course). Our accommodation includes houseboats in the Okavango Delta Panhandle where you'll be surrounded by water-dwelling wildlife and exotic birds, and safari lodges and camps within the national parks where you can sleep under the stars and listen to the wildlife around you. Choose a small group tour for your safari and you are guaranteed an incredible wildlife-watching experience.

Is a safari tour suitable for solo travellers?

Yes, definitely! All our small group tours , including our once-in-a-lifetime safari holidays, are perfect for solo holidays . You'll be joined by like-minded people in an average group size of around 11, and you'll have an expert local leader to scout out the animals and give you the best wildlife experience.

What is a typical day on a safari holiday?

On a safari with Explore you will generally wake up early and be on a game drive as soon as the sun rises. This is the best time to be out on safari in Africa as the animals are still active before the heat of the day sets in. As it gets hot, you will return to camp to have brunch and can take time to discuss the morning's wildlife sightings and like the animals, have a snooze. In the late afternoon as the heat subsides our groups usually get back in our vehicles to head out for a few more hours of safari.

What are the safari vehicles like?

Our vehicles for game drives are built for off road conditions and provide great viewing opportunities for visitors hoping to see some of the exotic animals that can be found in Africa. You should expect some rugged roads and wild conditions; it is in these real wilderness settings that we experience the best wildlife sightings. Your vehicles will normally have 4x4, roof hatches and a cool box for late afternoon sundowners.

When is the best time of year to go on a safari trip?

This depends on where you're going and what you want to see. We only run tours when it’s a good time to visit, but there may be specific wildlife you want to see and there will be better times to see certain species, largely due to migrations. If you don't like really hot temperatures, find out when the weather is cooler in your safari destination.

What should I wear on a safari holiday?

Most people expect Africa to be hot but it can be cold at times, particularly early in the morning and late at night. Pack layers, including a warm fleece or jacket. Neutral colours like khaki and green are best when on safari, but they’re not essential. Try to avoid wearing white though, as this will catch the attention of animals the most. Protect yourself from the sun with a hat and sunglasses. Dust can also be a problem in the dry months, so sunglasses will protect your eyes. A lightweight bandana is good to wear, as you can pull it up to protect your face when the dust flies. Get more advice in our 7 tips for your first African safari blog.

What should I pack for a safari?

• Neutral coloured, lightweight clothing - long-sleeved shirts and long trousers
• Warm clothing for cooler mornings and evenings
• Sun hat and sunglasses
• A lightweight bandana to protect your face from dust
• Insect repellent
• Waterbottle
• Camera and equipment, including a bag or pouch and a cloth or similar to protect it from dust
• Torch or head torch
• Anti-malarial tablets (depending on where you're going, ask your GP or local travel clinic)
