You don’t have to be animal-obsessed to love going on safari. For many, it’s one of those experiences that you go into thinking, “sure, safaris are supposed to be cool” and leave totally floored by what you’ve encountered. It could be 20 elephants crossing a river meters from your jeep, a lioness and her energetic cubs, or giraffes feasting on prickly acacia trees. Witnessing animals in the wild is something you’ll never forget – or regret – and with safari season around the corner, now’s the time to book.
So, what have we got? If you’re after a light intro then try Bucket List South Africa. This adventure wraps up Big Five spotting with other experiences – like abseiling off Table Mountain and snorkeling in the kelp forests of the Atlantic. Or, if you’d rather pair up beach and bush, there’s Wild Tanzania. You’ll spend nights glamping in the Serengeti (in the roof tent of a Land Rover), before heading to the idyllic island of Zanzibar, with its turquoise water and boutique hotels… Elsewhere, Tanzania: Kili to Crater wraps beach, bush, crater and Kilimanjaro mountain treks into an unforgettable 10 days.
For a short safari-only adventure, check out Kenya’s Masai Mara. This week-long trip will have you taking in the Big Five at sunrise and sunset and cycling through the bush, spotting zebras and giraffes. Just another extraordinary wildlife encounter for the memory bank.
