Safari Holidays

Journey. Fundamentally, that’s what the word ‘safari’ means in Swahili. You can’t complete your journey without taking the once-in-a-lifetime chance to witness one of the Big Five in the wild. The five what? Well, just as the world has its Seven Wonders, Africa has its five glorious beasts: lions, rhinos, elephants, leopards, and buffalo. Consider this your safari holiday check-list. African wilderness holidays truly offer the quintessential safari experience.

You might like to begin with a South Africa safari. Kruger National Park, the continent's oldest wildlife conservation area, is striking with its untouched grasslands and opportunities to spot one of the glorious five up close. As such, this South African destination is fantastic for those travelling on their first safari trip. Spot prowling leopards against a picturesque backdrop of the lofty Lebombo Mountains, then spend a relaxing evening in a safari lodge with a traditional Boma dinner.

If you have acquired a taste for the lodge life, a Kenya safari holiday might be for you. Book an unforgettable escorted tour to Kenya’s renowned accommodation, Treetops. Constructed around an ancient tree, the lodge offers boundless opportunities to explore East Africa’s vast natural beauty.

To the south lies Namibia, the very first African country to include the protection of the environment in its constitution. On a full-day safari, cruise through Etosha National Park, Namibia’s largest wildlife sanctuary. Allow your experienced tour manager to point out animals including lions, giraffes, and elephants. You can even see your surrounds in a different light, by taking a stunning sunset drive in an open-air vehicle through the dazzling mopane forests.

Our safari holidays combine exquisite scenery, up-close encounters and a glimpse of nature at its most wild. Consider it the ultimate antidote to the artificialities of modern life - just the reset you're looking for!
