Hello TravelLetters.com,

Every journey starts with questions.

For some, it’s “Where will I find the animals I’ve always dreamed of seeing?” For others, it’s “What will it really cost to bring my safari to life?”

This week, we answer both. Discover the best places in South Africa to witness wildlife in its natural rhythm – from lions on the plains to penguins on the coast. And if Kenya is calling, we’ve put together a clear guide on what influences the cost of your safari, so you can plan with confidence.

The more you know, the richer your adventure becomes…

WILDLIFE GUIDE

Which Animals Will You See in South Africa?

South Africa is a land of contrasts: rugged coastlines, open savannahs, thick forests, and desert dunes. And with each landscape comes its own cast of remarkable wildlife.

Here, you can follow elephants through the Kruger, spot lions against the red sands of the Kgalagadi, or catch sight of penguins and whales along the Cape Coast. Beyond the famous Big 5, there’s also the thrill of meeting African wild dogs on the hunt, or watching meerkats stand guard at sunrise.

In our guide, we share exactly where to find South Africa’s most iconic animals…and the hidden gems you might not expect.

Because every unforgettable encounter starts with knowing where to look.

How to Safari Smart

“You’re in the hands of consultants who live and breathe Africa – our greatest joy is sharing it with you, so you can love it just as deeply as we do. Planning your safari shouldn’t be stressful; it should be fun. And with us, it will be!

The only real challenge? Deciding how long to stay, where to go, and how much of your heart (and time) to invest in your dream holiday.

One thing’s for sure: don’t try to cover the whole map of Africa in two weeks – because once it’s in your blood, you’ll be back to explore some more!”

Lauren Johansson, Africa Safari Expert & Condé Nast Travel Specialist

Maunga Primary School

We believe every child deserves access to quality education in a nurturing environment. Located in the remote Maunga Village outside Livingstone, Zambia, Maunga Primary School is being transformed into a full primary school (in partnership with African Bush Camps Foundation).

Our funding has supported renovations, teacher housing, feeding schemes, and a new science lab. Pass rates are up 50%, staff increased from 3 to 13, and Grade 8 will be taught onsite from 2026, eliminating the need for students to travel long distances to complete their education.
