Spot the big five on your safari adventure.

Safari tours in Africa are just as diverse as the continent itself, though these types of trips typically require a large sum of money. Whether you want to spend a few days gorilla trekking in Uganda or a couple weeks spotting the "big five" – lions, leopards, African elephants, rhinos and Cape buffalos – in South Africa, you'll find an array of tours to best suit your needs. To help you narrow down your options, U.S. News compiled a list of 12 can't-miss African safari tours. Read on to find your once-in-a-lifetime trip.

Note: Some of the African countries in this article may require travelers to get an entry visa and certain vaccinations in order to visit. Jump to the list of visa and vaccination requirements by country at the bottom of this page for more information.

&Beyond

Visitors who don't want to sacrifice creature comforts while on safari will appreciate &Beyond's offerings. During the tour operator's 10-day Kings of the Jungle safari – which starts at $11,340 per person – travelers will see breathtaking natural wonders like the Ngorongoro Crater and the Maasai Mara savanna. But the highlight of this journey is its four-night stay at Tanzania's Serengeti National Park . After watching animals like wildebeest and zebras partake in the great migration while also spotting lions, giraffes and more, vacationers retreat to high-end tents and lodges with private bathrooms.

Wilderness Safaris

For some of Africa's most jaw-dropping scenery, opt for the seven-night Namibian Adventure Safari tour offered by Wilderness Safaris. This weeklong trip features visits to the Namib Desert's dune-filled Sossusvlei region (which you may recognize from the film "Mad Max: Fury Road") and the mountainous Palmwag Concession – a protected area with springboks, giraffes, black rhinos and more. The package's per person fee starts at $6,725, which covers most meals, park entrance fees, and transfers from Namibia's capital Windhoek and between the safari destinations. It also covers your stay at properties like the fully solar-powered Hoanib Skeleton Coast Camp and the five-star Little Kulala lodge amid the stunning desert.

Wild Rwanda Safaris

Adventurous travelers sticking to a more conservative budget should consider Wild Rwanda Safaris' Bwindi Gorilla Safari. The three-day package features a full day in southwestern Uganda's Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (a haven for silverback gorillas) and an adjacent Batwa Pygmy community. Wild Rwanda Safaris allows guests to choose between midrange, luxury and super luxury accommodation, which can help keep costs down if necessary. The company's packages include the $700 permit required to visit the gorilla park. The round-trip journey by safari vehicle to and from Kigali, Rwanda, and English-speaking guide services are also covered in all rates. The tour can begin from Kampala, Uganda, as well, although you'll spend longer on the road to the park.

Nomad Tanzania

Sign up for Nomad Tanzania's Southern Tanzania safari and you're bound to get an up-close look at Tanzania's diverse wildlife. Offering eight days of activities, including game drives and boat trips in Ruaha National Park and Nyerere National Park, this safari gives you prime opportunities to spot lions, cheetahs, leopards and elephants, among other species. What's more, lodging at the company's campsites, select meals, and flights to and from Dar es Salaam are factored into the package's prices. Expect to pay a minimum of $5,700 per person; prices vary depending on the time of year, and the tour isn't offered in April and May.

Micato Safaris

If you want to explore multiple destinations while on safari with plenty of comfort (but a price tag to match), book the 15-day Micato Grand Safari. This outing by Micato Safaris starts with a two-day visit to Nairobi, Kenya, before continuing to the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, Maasai Mara National Reserve, and the Amboseli and Serengeti national parks for wildlife-viewing excursions. During your trip, you'll see Mount Kilimanjaro as zebras, gazelles and more roam in the foreground. The package costs at least $22,450 per person (based on double occupancy rates) and includes a hot air balloon ride, a camel tour led by members of the Samburu tribe, and lodging at upscale properties like Serengeti's Four Seasons outpost. The company also offers various extensions allowing you to explore other parts of Africa, from the island paradise of Zanzibar to the deserts of Namibia.

Rothschild Safaris

If your ideal safari vacation consists of customizing your trip from start to finish, consider an outing with Rothschild Safaris. The company offers itineraries in locales like Zambia and Madagascar , but if you're hoping to catch a glimpse of the big five animals, the Essence of Tanzania safari is a good bet. This nine-day experience, which embarks from Arusha and returns there by plane, includes game-viewing drives in Tarangire National Park and accommodations like canvas tents and farmhouse lodges. Elephants, zebras and lions are just some of the animals you may spot during your journey. You'll also have the opportunity to go on a nighttime safari to spot nocturnal wildlife.

Lion World Travel

Courtesy of Lion World Travel

As the trip name implies, Lion World Travel's 10-day Best of Cape Town & Botswana vacation package combines sightseeing in Cape Town, South Africa , with a classic safari in Botswana. During the latter half of the itinerary, visitors will explore Botswana's Okavango Delta (home to cheetahs, crocodiles, hippos and more) and Chobe National Park, which is believed to have Africa's largest elephant population. Prices start at $4,299 per person and cover game drives; many of your meals; and stays at luxury hotels, camps and lodges. You'll need to pay an extra charge for the flights within the tour (Cape Town to Botswana as well as Botswana to Johannesburg ).

Bearded Heron Safaris

Travelers keen on seeing South Africa's Kruger National Park through the eyes of a local naturalist will appreciate the 15-day safari with Bearded Heron Safaris. Led by Neil Heron, a nature guide and wildlife photographer and writer, Bearded Heron Safaris' longest option features small game drives that may include lion, rhino, zebra and leopard sightings throughout all corners of Kruger. Rates are inclusive of in-park cottage accommodations and all breakfasts, dinners, snacks and drinks. Flights and park fees are not included. For a 15-day safari, expect to pay 76,900 South African rand (about $4,500) per person.

Discover Africa

For an inside-out trip through the natural wonders of Botswana, Discover Africa's nine-day Epic Botswana Adventure is a formidable option. You'll start out at a riverside lodge on the Chobe River – a great location for elephant spotting – before moving onto the marshy Okavango Delta, a wildlife-rich area where you can spot a huge range of animals from leopards to rhinos. The safari ends at the Makgadikgadi Pans National Park, a good place to admire wildlife like zebras and buffalo on the savanna as well as salt pans from a former lake. You'll stay in upscale lodges and campsites within close reach of the wilderness. All meals and transport along the tour are included in the price tag (which starts at $4,800 per person), but international flights are excluded.

Wild Wings Safaris

If you're looking to have a broader experience that mixes in some history and beach time, consider Wild Wings Safaris' eight-day Battlefields, Bush and Beach Safari. You'll start off visiting some of South Africa's historic sites from the Boer wars, before moving on to the Phinda Private Game Reserve, which doesn't allow day visitors, so you should be able to look out for the big five without too many crowds. The tour wraps up at Thonga Beach Lodge, where you can snorkel or scuba dive near coral reefs in the Indian Ocean. As far as safaris go, this one is an affordable option, starting at about $2,795 per person with all meals included as well as a rental car; for the cheapest price, you will need to drive yourself between the destinations, but it's possible to pay an additional fee for a driver to guide you instead.

Cuckoo Safaris

This tour company kicks off its tours from the majestic Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, with a host of safaris that range from two days to nine, across Zimbabwe, Zambia and Botswana, including some family-friendly choices. For an affordable option, there's the four-day Discover Victoria Falls, Chobe and Hwange Park safari, which will take you on two full-day tours to Chobe National Park (across the border in Botswana) and to Hwange, Zimbabwe's largest national park, where you should keep your eyes peeled for lions, elephants and more. This safari also includes a sunset cruise on the Zambezi River. The price starts at $900 per person, which includes the tours plus breakfast, lunch and lodging in Victoria Falls; travelers will need to pay for entrance fees to the parks and dinner.

Compass Odyssey

Explore the savanna and deserts of southwest Africa with Compass Odyssey's eight-day Namibia Wildlife Safari. You'll visit a community-based conservation area in Damaraland – known for its desert-adapted elephants, oryx, giraffes and other wildlife – while staying in the rustic-chic Doro Nawas Camp. You'll also spend two days in Etosha National Park, seeking wildlife at the park's bustling waterholes by day and embarking on an evening game drive as well. Starting at $3,750 per person, the tour includes most meals and all park entry fees, but not flights; the company does allow the tour to be customized on request.

Vaccination and visa requirements for African countries

Some popular safari destinations may require you to have received certain vaccinations in order to enter the country as a tourist. Inoculation requirements can include vaccination against COVID-19 and yellow fever, and you'll need to get these vaccines before departing on your trip. Be sure to bring proof of vaccinations with you. If you are transiting through another country en route to your safari tour, you must check that you also meet immunization requirements for the stopover location.

Note that, outside of what's required, there are a number of other vaccinations that are recommended, so ensure you're up to date and fully protected before you travel. In addition, many safari locations are prone to malaria; you should consult with your doctor to see if you need to bring anti-malaria medication on your trip.

Safari countries have varying visa requirements for travelers from the U.S. – these are detailed below. Depending on your itinerary, you may need a single- or multiple-entry visa, and some visas require you to apply in advance of traveling and/or have a certain number of blank pages in your passport. Regardless of your destination, your passport should be valid for at least six months before you leave for your trip.

Here are the vaccine and visa requirements for major safari destinations as of November 2022:

Botswana: If you have recently visited a country where yellow fever is common, you will need to be vaccinated against this illness. This does not include the U.S. but does include a number of countries in Africa, Central and South America. Consult the World Health Organization's website for a list of countries with risk of yellow fever transmission, including Kenya and Uganda.

U.S. citizens and nationals can stay in Botswana for 90 days without a visa.

Kenya: Travelers to Kenya must have been vaccinated against COVID-19 with the last shot administered more than 14 days before arrival in the country. Unvaccinated visitors can enter with a negative PCR test, conducted no more than 72 hours before departure. Proof of COVID-19 tests or vaccines must be uploaded to an online system called Panabios. Kenya is a country where you'll be at risk of yellow fever transmission; it also requires those traveling from other places with yellow fever or cholera outbreaks to be vaccinated against these illnesses. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that you protect yourself against yellow fever before your trip here.

Americans need an e-visa to enter Kenya. You should apply online at the eVisa government website no more than eight weeks before your trip, as visas are not available upon arrival in Kenya. See more on the U.S. Department of State's website .

Namibia: Those traveling from a country where yellow fever is common need to be vaccinated against it. No visa is required as long as you're staying for 90 days or less.

Rwanda: If you're coming from a country where yellow fever is endemic, a yellow fever vaccination is required before departure.

U.S. citizens and nationals can be issued a 30-day visitor visa on arrival in Rwanda or through the Rwandan Embassy in Washington, D.C. A single-entry visa costs $50, and it's recommended you bring sufficient cash in U.S. dollars to pay for this (although credit card payment may be accepted at Kigali International Airport). Consult the State Department website for more information.

South Africa: A yellow fever vaccination is required if you're traveling from a country with a risk of transmission. No visa is required for stays of 90 days or less.

Tanzania: Travelers must be able to present proof of COVID-19 vaccination with a QR code to enter Tanzania. Unvaccinated travelers must take a PCR test no more than 72 hours before departure, and the test results should be accessible by QR code. Yellow fever vaccines are mandatory if you're traveling from a location where yellow fever is present – including if you spend more than 12 hours in transit in such a country.

Visas are required for tourism in Tanzania. You can apply for a single-entry, 90-day visa online for $50 – and be sure to print a copy of the approval to bring with you. The processing period takes up to 10 days. You can also obtain a visa on arrival for a $100 fee; it's recommended you bring cash to cover this. Find more Tanzanian visa information on the State Department website .

Uganda: To enter Uganda, you must either be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or present a negative test taken no more than 72 hours before departure. Like Kenya, Uganda is a country with risk of yellow fever transmission. All visitors must show proof of vaccination against yellow fever to enter Uganda, regardless of where you're traveling from.

American visitors to Uganda must apply online for an electronic visa before departure; arriving in Uganda without completing this process could result in your detainment. Visit the State Department website to learn more.

Zambia: Visitors who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 must show proof of vaccination but do not need a test to enter Zambia; unvaccinated travelers must undergo a PCR test no more than 72 hours before departure. Yellow fever vaccines are only required if you're coming from an area considered at risk.

Visas are required to visit Zambia, but these can be obtained online before your departure or at a port of entry. Check the State Department website for more details.

Zimbabwe: To enter Zimbabwe, travelers must either be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or must take a negative PCR test no more than 48 hours before your departure. As with other countries on this list, visitors from countries with yellow fever outbreaks also require a vaccine against this illness.

U.S. visitors can obtain a 30-day, single-entry visa upon arrival in Zimbabwe for $30. If you're taking a tour that requires you to leave and reenter Zimbabwe, be sure to get a double-entry visa for $45. You can learn more from the State Department website .

Africa Safari Tours & Vacations

• 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 tour inspiration

Incredible wildlife, stunning landscapes & ancient cultures

Witness the circle of life in action with our safari travel experiences. We’ll take you deep into the animal kingdoms of the world, from the red deserts of Namibia to the jungles of Northern India.

See the world’s greatest animals

From spotting the Big Five of Africa to the big cats of Asia, a wildlife holiday is one of the world’s most thrilling experiences. Our Local Specialists will take you from the leaping wildebeest of the Serengeti and the giant elephants of Botswana, to the white rhinos of Namibia and the lions and leopards of Zambia. Venture east to India, and you’ll encounter hyenas, bears and the mighty Bengal tiger.

Explore spectacular landscapes

You’ll go on safari in some of the most beautiful places on earth with our safari tours. See the Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, the world’s largest waterfall, or Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, the highest peak in Africa. Explore the dense forests of Ranthambore in India, the rolling mountains of South Africa, and the blazing dunes of the Kalahari Desert in Namibia.

Connect with ancient cultures

Go beyond the wildlife and landscapes to discover the cultures of the places we go. On our safari trips you'll connect with the culture like visiting a Swazi Chief’s village in eSwatini, or meeting the Maasai warriors of Kenya and watching a powerful jumping display. Learn how to drum and speak Xhosa in South Africa, or meet the OvaHimba tribe in Namibia and gain insight into their ancient hunter-gatherer traditions.

All you need to know about Safari Tours

Are african safaris dangerous.

Every African safari trip has an element of danger, but it’s easy to stay safe if you follow the basic safari rules. Always keep your entire body in the vehicle, don’t make any loud noise, turn off your camera flash, don’t walk around at night alone, wear boots and socks in the bush, and always listen to your safari guide.

Is Safari better in Kenya or Tanzania?

Both Kenya and Tanzania are excellent destinations for your African safari travel experience, as both are home to the Big Five and the Great Migration. While Kenya is known as a superb place to see big cats, black rhinos and exotic animals like the sitatunga, Tanzania has the world's largest concentration of animals, including the largest concentration of cheetahs and unique animals like tree-climbing lions and African wild dogs.

What is the best month to go on an African safari?

The best time to go on an African safari tour varies between the different seasons of East and Southern Africa. Generally, the best months to go are the dry season months of June to October. During this time, animals migrate and are easier to spot as they gather around the few remaining water sources.

What is the best place to go on safari?

The best places to go on a safari holiday are Kenya and Tanzania where you can see the Big Five and the Great Migration. You can also spot the Big Five and other incredible wildlife in South Africa and Zambia. We love going on water safaris in Botswana, seeing desert-adapted wildlife in Namibia and spotting tigers in India.

An African safari holiday features on most travel bucket lists, but with Kenya Safari Tours , Uganda Gorilla Trekking, South Africa’s Kruger Park and many other incredible wildlife destinations to choose from, how do you know where to go for the best safari in Africa?

Kenya considered by many as the Safari Capital Of The World is known as the “land of the original safari”. It is here that safaris were born, the root of safari expeditions as we know it today. The term safari is a Kiswahili word meaning to travel.

Today it is one of the few African safari destinations that offer a truly authentic African safari experience that gives a natural reminder of what it was like many years ago.

Best African Safaris

Our African safaris get you straight to Africa’s best-known wildlife destinations, including the Big Five, and you need not break the bank in the process.

Your choice of safari comes down partly to the wildlife. For most first-timers, the ‘Big Five’  will probably be on the top the wish their wish list – for the uninitiated, that’s lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant and rhino, so named because they were once considered a hunter’s most dangerous adversaries.

Go On A Safari

Book Your African Safari Holiday with Safari Travel Plus

We have a large selection of the best places to go on a safari in Africa and we would love to take you there. Places like Kruger, Serengeti and Masai Mara top our lists of the best places to go on safari because they can deliver a variety of experiences from incredible wildlife viewing to the most luxurious safari holidays.

Best Time To Go On An African Safari

When considering the best time to go on an African safari, it is important to consider the weather or climate of the region you are visiting. For wildlife viewing the drier months are the best as you are likely to see the animals near waterholes and the vegetation will be less dense allowing for better visibility.

Having said that it is important to note that Africa is vast so different regions will have different climates at specific times of the year. Kruger National Park for example has the dry winter season from May to October. May in Masai Mara on the other hand marks the end of the rainy season with less rain than April but still within the “long rains” season in Kenya considered the wettest months of the year.

Is It Safe To Travel To Africa For A Safari

Africa remains a safe holiday destination, especially for safari and the top African safari destinations provide extra security around their tourist areas. There are also strict rules while in game parks that tourists are expected to follow for their own safety.

Some of these rules include:

Not leaving the vehicle while at the park

Never stand up or dangle your arms or legs out of the vehicle. Never leave the vehicle. Doing so will provoke the animals, putting everyone at serious risk.

Ask For A Guard

Most camps and lodges in Africa do not have a fence and so the animals will often roam freely sometimes you will wake up to a lion kill just outside your tent. In some camps and lodges you are advised to call an armed guard when going between your tent and other structures within the camp for example the dining area especially at night. In general if you follow the rules you will be fine.

Safari Where To Go

For a first time African Safari experience, the choice is between Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda (East Africa) and South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia and Namibia. (Southern Africa)

East Africa offers something Southern Africa doesn’t. Gorilla and Chimpanzee trekking in the wild so if you are looking to interact with these primates then consider Uganda and Rwanda. Uganda is unique in that you can still do Gorilla and Chimpanzee trekking and still go on traditional game drives in parks such as Queen Elizabeth and Murchison falls.

Having said that Botswana in Southern Africa offers the highest quality of wildlife viewing, animal diversity, and excellent private lodges its also home to the Okavango delta. The largest inland delta in the world.

So where is the best place to go on safari? The answer is it depends. For wildlife viewing Botswana, South Africa, Tanzania and Kenya will not dissappoint. For primates then Rwanda and Uganda would be the best options.

There is also more to Africa than wildlife safaris.

Best Places To Vacation In Africa

Africa offers more than wildlife safaris and game drives. Its rich in historical sites and cultural experiences too. Not to mention that Africa has great white sandy beaches. So for those looking for a beach vacation you can’t go wrong with places like Zanzibar, Lamu and Mozambique to mention but a few.

Africa Safari Trip: A Comprehensive Guide To Crafting Unforgettable Memories

H ave you witnessed a lion’s roar echo across the savanna or watched a herd of elephants lumber by? An Africa safari trip is an otherworldly experience, but where do you even begin? This guide will equip you with all the essentials to plan your unforgettable adventure . Even though it can seem overwhelming at times, if you’re equipped with the right guidance and information, the procedure is rather easy.

To help you plan the perfect safari tour in Africa, in addition to answering the majority of your frequently asked questions, we’re put together some of the greatest tips and useful suggestions.

Choosing the Location of Your African Safari Trip

An Africa safari trip promises an enchanted world of discovery, where each expedition and place holds the potential to reveal a captivating tale. Every area of this enormous continent, from the lush deltas of the south to the brilliant savannahs of the east, offers a different fabric of fauna and culture. This is more than just a journey—it’s an exploration of the core of nature, where opportunity abounds at every turn.

African safaris are unique among travel experiences because of the authentic, natural spectacle of the wild. These excursions aim to fully immerse you in the world of animals, not just observe them. Planning your destination is among the most crucial aspects of preparation for any holiday, including this one. Africa is vast, so it’d be helpful to start with a “where to go on an Africa safari trip” Google search if you have no idea what to do.

To select the ideal safari destination, you must consider the things you wish to see. Are there any specific animals or cultural events you would like to see? Kenya and Tanzania from July to October are your best choices if you’ve always wanted to see the Great Wildebeest Migration. Visit either Botswana or South Africa to see a huge herd of African elephants throughout the year.

In East Africa and the majority of Southern African nations, the “Big Five” are also widely distributed. Travel to Uganda, Rwanda or the Congo for gorilla trekking; these countries are all in Central Africa. If you want to see chimpanzees on your Africa safari tour, Uganda is the ideal place to do it.

Top 5 Choice Destinations for Your Africa Safari Trip

Here are our top five African wildlife safari destinations to help you plan your trip.

Kenya’s Maasai Mara National Reserve

At the Maasai Mara Reserves, the Big Five roam free, and boundless plains extend into the horizon on a wildlife safari. Traveling off-road and appreciating the lack of fences and lodging at any of the Mara conservation areas allows you to experience the breathtaking sight of countless wildebeests roaring across the East African savanna around the Great Migration.

From open safari vehicles, watch as lions hunt their prey with unparalleled subtlety. Elephants socialize within their close-knit groups, and elegant giraffes peruse acacia trees with grace. A fascinating insight into the Maasai people’s dynamic local culture, which is entwined with the land, its profusion of wildlife, and the natural beauties of the wildness itself, is provided by Maasai Mara.

Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park

Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park is home to a large environment that is brimming with life. See the boundless plains packed with antelopes, zebras, and wildebeests as they migrate in a never-ending dance of survival throughout your Africa safari trip. It’s what you anticipate seeing on game drives following your viewing of National Geographic or PBS programs. You might be amazed watching the big cats lounging in the shade following a good hunt, or you might experience the exhilaration of seeing a cheetah racing across the landscape in a flurry of speed.

There are other methods to observe wildlife, such as taking a hot-air balloon flight across the savanna for breath-inspiring, all-encompassing views of this iconic African terrain. Seasonality is essential when thinking about visiting the Serengeti; never schedule an unplanned online vacation.

Zambia’s South Luangwa National Park

You can feel the African wilderness in Zambia, not just see it. In contrast to safaris that are limited to metal enclosures, South Luangwa encourages you to stroll among the animals rather than drive by them. Imagine your heart racing as you make your way through verdant riverine forests full of leopards hiding in their disguises, only to be astounded by vast herds of buffalo crossing wide-open savannas.

As you approach elephants bathing, listen to the Luangwa River’s rushing waters, which will lead you to the echoes of night safaris. You can unwind in the unexpected comfort of fly tents or treehouse retreats when the stars adorn the sky.

South Africa’s Greater Kruger National Park

You can journey across acacia woodlands and tour places with sun-filled savannas along the rushing waters of the Sabi River in South Africa’s Greater Kruger National Park. Hear the echoes of prehistoric existence and see the exhilarating dance of adventures amidst the rare species. Renowned for its almost assured Big Five meetings, you get to experience the exhilarating thrill of seeing elephants trumpeting by a waterhole or lions relaxing in golden light—you don’t have to imagine it.

There is more to Kruger’s artistry than the Big Five. Higher populations of predators and a more varied array of species can be found in the superb private game reserves found in the Greater Kruger National Park. Wander along the river where crocodiles and hippos sunbathe before becoming lost in the rainbow of more than 500 different bird species.

Botswana’s Okavango Delta

Emerald islands emerge from the reflecting waters of the spreading waterways of Botswana’s Okavango Delta, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A mokoro is a native dugout canoe in which you may sail softly and intimately while spotting sleeping hippos afar and thirsty elephants sipping at the riverbanks .

Search among the trees for one of the greatest spots to see leopards or take in the aerial views of storks, eagles, and pelicans.

In such a distant location, the Okavango Delta boasts one of the largest concentrations of upscale safari resorts in Southern Africa, providing you with exclusive access to convenience and uncrowded rivers for a singular embrace of unspoiled wildlife.

Tips For An Outstanding African Safari Adventure

The foundation of a great African safari is effective communication. It makes sure you get the best possible experience out of your trip by bridging the gap between what you expect and the actual conditions of the environment. There are three communication techniques to help you receive the experience you want by interacting with an Africa safari trip guide or travel advisor .

Clearly state your demands and desires. Tell us about your ideal speed, cultural attractions, the wildlife you hope to see, and any unique interests you may have, such as birdwatching or photography. This enables your guide to customize your safari adventures based on your interests and budget. Mention any possible restrictions. Any physical restrictions or sensitivity should be disclosed to your guide to guarantee a fun and safe trip.

Pose inquiries. Never be afraid to ask questions about anything that piques your curiosity, be it local customs or the behavior of animals. Your guide holds a wealth of information that is just waiting to be discovered.

African safaris are an ode to the diversity and grandeur of nature. Every excursion offers a chance for a profound and intimate connection with nature. However, in a world full of breathtaking locations, the real art of travel is in how you take in each one. Each destination has a spirit of its own, and you can make transforming vacation experiences with the correct itinerary in addition to ones that are simply memorable.

Whether you’re traveling to the wild African savannahs or the charming countryside of Tuscany, creating a one-of-a-kind, dreamlike trip requires careful planning and vital information. It all comes down to creating a seamless, stress-free, and uniquely personalized tapestry of memories.

People Also Ask

How far should my Africa safari trip be scheduled? It’s advisable to make reservations eight to twelve months in advance of when you wish to go or depart for your selected African safari location. Enough time guarantees availability and your place at the top of the line for the most desirable experiences that Africa presents. It is always better to schedule your safari trip earlier than undergo a last-minute rush.

When is the ideal time to go on an Africa safari trip? The dry season, which runs from June to October, is the ideal time to go on a safari. Since it’s a warmer period of the year, there’s a greater chance that you’ll spot creatures looking for water. You can also witness the famous Masai Mara migration during these months.

World’s 7 wildest safari destinations for ‘Big Five’ spotting

TRAVEL TRENDS , WORLD Created : Jun 18, 2024, 00:00 IST

Wildlife safari is a dream for many travellers, as it offers them a chance to witness some of the planet's most iconic and majestic animals in their natural habitats. Among the most sought-after experiences is spotting the Big Five – the African lion, African elephant, Cape buffalo, African leopard, and rhinoceros. The thrill of spotting the 'Big Five' is an experience at the top of many travellers' must-do list. These animals are renowned for their size, strength, and the thrill they evoke when encountered on safari. If you are also in for this, here's a guide to the world's wildest safari destinations where you can spot the Big Five and create lasting memories.

Maasai Mara National Reserve, Kenya

The Maasai Mara National Reserve is synonymous with the Great Migration, where millions of wildebeest, zebras, and other herbivores cross the Mara River in search of greener pastures. This dramatic event attracts predators like lions and crocodiles, offering unparalleled opportunities to witness the Big Five in action against the backdrop of vast savannahs and acacia-dotted plains. Game drives in Maasai Mara often lead to sightings of lions lazing under the sun or elephants roaming gracefully in herds.

Serengeti National Park, Tanzania

Next in line is Tanzania's Serengeti National Park, which is equally renowned for its role in the Great Migration and abundance of wildlife. The Serengeti boasts a high concentration of lions, often seen prowling the plains or resting under shady trees. Elephants roam freely, while leopards may be spotted lounging in the branches of acacia trees. Game drives and hot air balloon safaris offer breathtaking views of the park's expansive landscapes and its diverse inhabitants.

Kruger National Park, South Africa

Kruger National Park in South Africa is one of the largest game reserves in Africa, spanning nearly 20,000 sq km of diverse habitats. It is home to a significant population of all the Big Five species, including the endangered rhinoceros. Visitors to Kruger can embark on guided game drives or self-drive safaris, exploring the park's varied ecosystems from savannahs and woodlands to rivers and rocky outcrops. Sunset drives and bush walks provide intimate encounters with Africa's wildlife, making Kruger a must-visit destination for safari enthusiasts.

Chobe National Park, Botswana

Located in northern Botswana, Chobe National Park is renowned for its large herds of elephants, often seen congregating along the Chobe River. This pristine wilderness also supports thriving populations of lions, leopards, and buffaloes, completing the Big Five ensemble. Boat safaris along the river offer a unique perspective, allowing visitors to observe wildlife from a different vantage point while enjoying the tranquil beauty of the African bush.

Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park, South Africa

Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park in South Africa's KwaZulu-Natal province is renowned for its conservation efforts. The park is home to all members of the Big Five and offers both guided safaris and self-drive options. Visitors can explore ancient acacia woodlands and rolling hills while seeking out sightings of lions, elephants, and elusive leopards against a backdrop of scenic vistas.

Amboseli National Park, Kenya

Amboseli National Park, at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro in Kenya, offers a stunning backdrop for wildlife viewing. The park is famous for its large herds of elephants, often framed against the majestic snow-capped peak of Africa's highest mountain. Lions, leopards, and buffaloes also roam the park's plains, offering visitors a chance to witness the Big Five while enjoying views of Kilimanjaro and the park's marshes and savannahs.

Sibuya Game Reserve, South Africa

Sibuya Game Reserve, accessible exclusively by riverboat, stands out as a distinctive safari destination in South Africa. It offers diverse wildlife viewing opportunities ranging from elephants to otters, and of course, the renowned ‘Big Five.’ Bird enthusiasts are drawn to the reserve's impressive array of nearly 400 bird species, providing an exceptional bird watching experience.

Evolve Back Kuruba Safari Lodge

Nagarhole National Park, India

• Alternatives

Set in a prime location on the banks of Kabini River, very close to Nagarhole National Park, Evolve Back Kuruba Safari Lodge offers very comfortable accommodation situated in 15 acres of grounds.

The inspiration for the buildings comes from the mud-walled thatched dwellings of a local tribe, the Kadu Kurubas. All of the 30 suites are beautifully finished in a traditional safari style but with plenty of facilities and are notably spacious. Each room has a private courtyard with either a Jacuzzi or a private pool with built-in Jacuzzi. Environmental initiatives include the provision of safe drinking water in each room (via a hidden reverse osmosis plant) to reduce the problem of plastic water bottles.

The staff are well trained and efficient and when you are not exploring the national park, or relaxing by the lovely infinity pool, they can help arrange a number of excursions including birdwatching, coracle boat rides or a tribal village visit.

What to expect on a safari tour.

Delve into local culture

Apart from wildlife, you encounter the people who protect that wildlife on a safari tour. Connecting with indigenous people is part of the experience! What stories will the Maasai of Kenya share with you? Will witnessing a tiger in its natural habitat inspire you to join a local dance as the sun sets over Northern India ?

Witness geological wonders

Leave civilization behind and enter a realm of wonder where you’ll discover some of the world’s most spectacular landscapes. Imagine flying over the dramatic volcanic landscapes of the Galapagos Islands , brimming with undisturbed wildlife and unique natural features found nowhere else.

Stay under starry skies

After a day exploring the wild, there’s no better way to share the experience with your fellow wildlife enthusiasts than over a meal as the night envelopes your group. Relax in a tent or maybe a luxury lodge under the velvety night sky, far from any light pollution, with the stars shining like never before.

Face-to-face encounters

For an up-close encounter with a majestic beast such as a lion, this is the ultimate experience. How many times have you watched a documentary where you can observe spectacular species in their natural habitat? Experience it for yourself! A game drive will offer you a chance to venture out for those unforgettable moments as close to the wild as humanly possible.

Top destinations for safari tours

It's not every day you encounter the wild, so consider your options on when and where to go carefully. Africa is the classic destination, but you could also try India or Nepal for chances to spot Bengal tigers, Uganda or Rwanda to see the elusive gorillas, or Costa Rica for a jungle safari tour! Can't decide? We've compiled a list of the best destinations for safari tours to help you plan your adventure.

South Africa

If you're planning your very first safari, South Africa is a fantastic option, with plenty of opportunities to spot wildlife and combine it with urban culture. Offering everything from self-drive to private guided tours makes it an attractive destination for families and couples.

As a hotspot for the Great Migration, Kenya is full of natural wonders with wildlife-rich national parks. It‘s especially suitable if you‘re planning to combine your safari with a beach stay or a Kilimanjaro climb just over the border into Tanzania.

1,425 Tours

Home to the Serengeti National Park and the phenomenal Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania's Northern Circuit is perfect for a safari trip to catch the Big Five before ending with a relaxing beach escape in Zanzibar.

Experienced safari-goers might prefer to visit a more remote national park or take a more exclusive route to spot African wildlife with a cruise in the Okavango Delta or a fly-in safari with unbeatable 360° birds-eye views.

Safari tours around the world

When you think of safari, Africa comes to mind, and the continent offers two main safari categories: The animals of the savannah, where you can spot lions, elephants, and other members of the Big Five , or the dense jungles of Uganda and Rwanda where you’ll find our fascinating cousins: the gorilla and chimpanzee. Best time:  June–October Animals to see:  Lion, leopard, rhino, African elephant, buffalo, wildebeest, gorilla, chimpanzee  

Many of the world’s most unique and remote species of wildlife reside in Asia.

Best time:  February–June Animals to see:  Bengal tiger, Asian elephant, gaur (Indian bison), Komodo dragon  

Australia is all about embracing nature and wildlife. Stay in remote wilderness lodges, go camping in the rugged Outback and hike around magnificent Uluru (Ayers Rock), watch kangaroos hop around the perfectly-named Kangaroo Island , or visit an animal sanctuary for a chance to cuddle sweet teddy-bear-like koalas. Best time:  April, May, September, October Animals to see:  Kangaroo, koala, platypus, crocodile, dingo, emu, eagle  

Latin America

From exploring the jungle habitat of the Amazon rainforest to spotting sloths dangling from trees in the cloud forests of Costa Rica to swimming amongst sea lions and turtles in the Galapagos Islands , Latin America offers a rich tapestry of safaris in one of the most biodiverse continents on Earth. Best time:  December–April Animals to see:  Howler monkey, sloth, spider monkey, jaguar, toucan, caiman

Your safari tour questions, answered

How do i know if a safari is right for me.

A safari tour is a multi-day experience where travelers can observe animals in the wild, most commonly in Africa. You should expect to explore multiple natural parks and regions in a single itinerary whilst also enjoying immersive cultural activities and excursions that can include horse riding, canoeing, and even hot air balloon rides!

How much does a safari tour cost?

It largely depends on the length of your trip and the type of accommodation and amenities you choose. For example, the cost of a seven-day African safari can vary anywhere between US $600 to US $8,000 or more. TourRadar allows you to filter by destination, length of tour, and price range so you can find the perfect adventure for you.

Is going on a safari tour safe?

Safari tours are generally perfectly safe as they are designed to get the guests as close to the wild as possible without any risks, even if some unexpected events happen—after all, that’s part of the thrill! Make sure to pay attention and follow instructions to have the time of your life. On TourRadar, we have search filters and customer reviews to guide you to the perfect adventure level for you.

Do I need travel insurance for a safari tour?

Travel insurance is mandatory for most of the adventures on TourRadar and must be purchased before you start your travels. It covers trip cancellations, medical emergencies, lost or stolen baggage, and more. As you can imagine, this is extra important when going on a safari adventure, and in most cases, you can add travel insurance with Cover Genius directly to your TourRadar booking.

When is the best time to go on a safari tour?

For an African safari, the best time to go is during the dry season and around the time of the Great Migration. For safaris in Asia, you'll want to go from February to May to avoid getting soaked in the monsoons from June onward. On TourRadar, you can always make an inquiry with the operator of the tour you're interested in, as they have expert knowledge of the destination.

What should I pack for a safari adventure?

When packing for a safari adventure, consider luggage allowances on small planes and the size of your vehicle, as you will likely be hopping between national parks and having to carry your belongings at certain points unless you book a more high-end adventure. Check our complete safari packing list to find out what essentials, clothes, gear, and medication to pack.

Which country in Africa has the most animals?

Botswana ranks first in terms of diversity. Besides the Big Five (lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants, and buffalo), you will be able to spot a wide range of other wildlife. In Tanzania, you can witness the Great African Migration, which is a thrilling event with thousands of animals.

We stayed in West Midlands Safari's Tiger Lodge and were stunned by a unique close encounter

Nature is amazing - many people will travel all over the world this summer on safari - but one of the finest and most personal encounters you can experience is right on your doorstep.

West Midlands Safari Park has won many awards over the years and their 90 minute, four-mile drive-through continues to excel with its ever expanding interactive animal attractions.

But for the height of luxury and a day/night you will never forget, the park's wildlife lodges are beyond any adult or child's wildest imagination.

When you first walk in, your eyes are immediately drawn to the showpiece of the lodge, the panoramic views throughout the entire living room and bedrooms looking out onto your chosen animal.

We had not one, not two, but three stunning Sumatran tigers enjoying their new habitat - mother, father and baby.

International travel: Don't forget your child's vaccinations, says pediatrician

by Ernie Mundell

Exploring Europe, taking an African safari, going on a trip to the tropics: In many cases, vaccines are needed for travel, and that's doubly true for children.

According to pediatrician Dr. Lauren Nguyen, researching what vaccines are needed and preparing well before your family's departure is crucial.

"I tell my families that it's best to come in about six weeks prior to international travel," said Nguyen, who's based in Torrance, Calif. and is affiliated with the Children's Hospital Los Angeles Care Network.

Meet with your child's pediatrician to review travel plans, figure out what vaccines are required or recommended based on your travel destination and arrange to get any shots needed. That consultation is probably best done with an in-person visit, not a phone call, Nguyen noted.

Not sure what shots the country you're visiting requires? Head to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Travelers' Health website for up to date info for countries worldwide.

"The CDC website tells you about any current outbreaks, as well as the recommended vaccines for that country," Nguyen said in a hospital news release.

Besides any special vaccines required by the country you're visiting, make sure your child is up to date on routine shots for seasonal infections like COVID, flu and RSV.

Planning ahead is crucial because many vaccines require multiple doses given weeks apart, Nguyen noted. Pediatricians may also not have large supplies of vaccines for diseases like yellow fever or typhoid, and may need time to order them.

Then there's time needed for vaccines to give your child's immune system a full boost. "It takes about two to four weeks to respond to the vaccine and develop the antibodies," Nguyen explained.

And it's not just about needles: Daily dose malaria pills, for example, need to be started up to two weeks before departure, taken the entire period that you're in a malaria zone, and then taken for a month after you return home.

Vaccine schedules also vary by age, Ngyuen noted. Measles outbreaks are occuring worldwide with greater frequency, and measles vaccine recommendations are different for babies versus older children .

Children typically wait to get the first dose of the measles vaccine between the ages of 12 and 15 months and the second dose between 4 and 6 years of age.

However, for infants "that changes for international travel," Nguyen said. "Children between 6 and 12 months of age should get a first dose of the measles vaccine prior to travel." That first dose should still be followed up by a second dose between the ages of 4 and 6, she added.

Hepatitis A is typically contracted through contaminated water or food. Again, routine vaccination recommendations suggest that a child get their first hep A shot between 12 and 23 months of age.

However, "infants 6 to 11 months old should be vaccinated when protection against hepatitis A is recommended for the destination," Nguyen said. And if your baby is very young—under 2 months of age—you probably shouldn't travel internationally unless it's absolutely necessary, she added.

Another key shot is the meningitis A (MenACWY) vaccine. It's easily transmitted and Nguyen suggests that kids be vaccinated against meningitis A before travel, especially when people are circulating in close quarters, such as on cruise ships .

Kids ages 16 and older should also be immunized against the meningitis B vaccine.

Cruise ships can be hotbeds of infection, so don't forget vaccinations even if you aren't docking at exotic locales.

"The people you'll be on the ship with might have been vacationing all over the world," she explained. "Vaccines can protect your children from a wide range of illnesses these passengers might bring on board."

Besides shots and pills, you can take other steps to keep you and your family safe while abroad. According to Nguyen, these include bringing:

• Insect repellent
• Children's acetaminophen, ibuprofen and Benadryl
• Hydrocortisone cream
• Electrolyte-replacement powder (like Pedialyte), to help curb dehydration
• Your health insurance card

Last but not least, make sure you have adequate travel health insurance so you can access care should any health emergencies arise.
