Africa - Tour Highlights and Travel Tips

Africa, the birthplace of the human race is often generalised as a whole country. In reality, a trip to Africa will introduce you to 54 distinct countries that encompass multiple climates, landscapes, religions and cultures. Holidays to Africa will open your senses to grassy savannah plains stretched across entire countries from east to west Africa and finally dipping south while the endless Sahara desert consumes the north. The miracle of Africa is the endurance of its wildlife and its people in what can often be extreme conditions. But don’t underestimate the cosmopolitan oases to be found.

Travel Highlights

• Complete a pilgrimage to the wondrous rock-carved churches of Lalibela , Ethiopia . Visit during one of the big Christian festivals and witness the powerful scene of hundreds of white-robed believers crowd the underground churches that date back to the 12th and 13th centuries.
• Visit the Valley of the Kings in Luxor , south Egypt and explore the tomb of Tutankamun.
• Get lost in the souks of Marrakech while scouring for bargains or succumb to the cultural charms of Fez and the dark, winding streets of its Medina.
• Sit patiently at a watering hole in Etosh National Park, Namibia and wait for the wildlife to surround you. From the Big 5, such as lions and elephants and giraffes, to smaller mammals like warthogs and hyenas - the cast of The Lion King is bound make an appearance.
• Take in the unique character of Cape Town and it’s instantly recognisable skyline of Table Mountain, arguable one of the most beautiful cities in Africa.

Travel Tips

• Keep in mind that if you plan to travel to multiple countries, you will need two free pages in your passport for each country you intend to travel to.
• Generally, most northern, southern and eastern countries allow travellers to purchase a visa upon arrival, whereas a lot of western and central countries require you to apply for a visa beforehand. However, be sure to check requirements before you begin your travels!
• It can often be difficult to get hold of local currency before you leave, so always try to have some dollars (widely used) and euros (more so for northern and western Africa).
• Make sure you visit your personal doctor before travelling to Africa, in case you need vaccinations or preventative medication for Malaria, for example. Some vaccinations are needed over a course of time, so don’t leave this until the last minute!
• Sunscreen and feminine hygiene products can be hard to come by in certain parts of Africa, so stock up before you leave.
• Dress according to the country you are visiting. Shoulders are generally fine for most countries, though the knees should be covered. Predominantly muslim countries will have stricter dress codes. Look at what the locals are wearing and follow suit.
• It’s very common to greet or acknowledge people you pass in the street, this is just a polite custom and won’t solicit unwanted attention.
• Africa is fairly well-connected when it comes to travel, though it can be slower than you’re used to. Keep your travel plans fairly loose and overland travel can be a great way to witness the country you’re in.

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).

Welcome to Africa

African landscapes parading with the circle of life promise magical moments unlike any you have imagined before. You'll find them...

Mountain gorillas in rwanda, a once-in-a-lifetime encounter with endangered mountain gorillas... on safari in rwanda with tauck.

On two safaris in wildlife-rich game reserves in Tanzania and Kenya, you'll spend the last three nights of your journey in Rwanda – home to the last remaining mountain gorillas on Earth. After gaining insights on gorilla behavior at private lectures and a visit to the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund Museum, you'll be ready to begin your gorilla trek. Imagine hiking into the wilderness with a private porter and an expert guide for a once-in-a-lifetime encounter with mountain gorillas in the wild… watching them interact with each other – and, if they so choose, perhaps with you!

Africa's "Big Five"

Meet the "big five".

Lions (Panthera leo) are often seen in Masai Mara National Reserve (Kenya), Serengeti & Tarangire national parks, and Ngorongoro Conservation Area (Tanzania). Buffalo (Syncerus caffer) can weigh as much as 1,500 lbs. – big and dangerous enough to keep most predators at bay. Buffalo roam the Sabi Sands Game Reserve (South Africa) and Serengeti National Park (Tanzania). black rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis) may be spotted in Ngorongoro Crater and the Masai Mara. leopards (Panthera pardus) are prevalent in most parks and reserves in east and southern Africa; you'll often need to look up to spot one... since they spend much of their time in trees. African Elephant (Loxodonta africana), the world's largest land mammal, is a fixture throughout the Masai Mara, as well as Amboseli and Serengeti national parks. Although they are not among the "Big Five," a gorilla trek in Rwanda is one of life's memorable experiences.

Namibia: Epic Safari

Starlit skies, desert dunes, game reserves and wildlife safaris.

Embark on an epic 11-day journey to Namibia, home to desert landscapes alive with oryx, bat-eared foxes, zebras, lizards and more. Explore the red-tinted dunes of Sossusvlei. Star gaze in one of the naturally darkest places on earth. Enjoy a hands-on personal encounter with baby baboons. A truly unforgettable adventure in every way.

Dinner in the desert, Berber-style

Travel by 4x4 vehicle to a berber-style dinner in a desert camp.

In the desert outside Marrakech, ancient Berber villages preserve time-honored folkways and rituals – like the traditional Moroccan tea ceremony – that have survived for centuries. Ride aboard a 4x4 vehicle to one of these villages for tea with the village chief and a crash-course in Berber culture. Then it's on to our desert camp, where dinner is served Berber-style under a tent with musical entertainment. Experience local customs like riding a camel... smoking shisha (using a hubbly-bubbly pipe, or hookah, to smoke flavored tobacco)... or having your hands or feet decorated with traditional henna designs!

Historic Safari Lodges... Legendary Hotels...

Accommodations as important as the experience....

We've carefully selected your accommodations – Africa's finest safari lodges, private game reserves, tented safari camps, classic hotels and premier resorts... many are sought-after destinations in themselves, authentically capturing the essence of their surroundings. From classic safari lodges to luxury tented safari camps... "old world" grand hotels to premier resorts... you'll experience the best of Africa, sunrise to sunset.

Cultural connections

Get to know the maasai in tanzania and kenya.

Discovering cultural legacies leads to life-changing discoveries. Visit tribal villages on the slopes of mighty Kilimanjaro, in the African bush and on plains that move with an endless procession of migrating beasts and nomadic tribes. Meet Maasai warriors, artisans and school children eager to share their customs and homeland with you in moments so heartwarming you'll return home transformed. The pulse of South Africa is, of course, in its people... in the streets and squares of Jo'burg and Cape Town where a multitude of cultures (Zulu, Xhosa, Afrikaans, European, Malaysian and Indian, to name a few) collide and mix in dazzling displays of art, music, dance and cuisine... and in the bushveld, where you'll encounter tribal traditions that sustain a proud and irrepressible people... always ready to share their customs, language, dances and songs with a warm welcome.

We are a couple in our 60's who would like to do a 7 day safari split 3 nts in Sabi Sands and 3 in either Timbivarti or Manyeleti. Probably starting in Johan and ending in Neilspruit. We have read a number of posts and have done a safari in Tanz/kenya. We don't want to self drive even if it's easy to do so. We want to visit 2 different lodges for 3nts in each. Our budget is mid range about 85000 rand in total. We would want a pool with a water hole on site and would like to do at least 1 bush walk during the week. In tanz/kenya we did a private tour visiting multiple lodges but always the same guide/driver on the safaries. Here is seems that the lodges provide their own safaris and the tour agents just build a package to get you there. Is this correct?? We have looked at Umlani, Tangala, honeyguide, umkumbe, langa langa, elephant plains etc. They seem to be in our price range if we book direct but then we have to find and add the transfer costs. We checked safaribookings.com and they have a number of 4 day packages to a specific lodge, but very few 7 day packages including 2 lodges.

Questions..

What 2 lodges/areas would complement each other and provide a good diversity in sightings? What are your favorite lodges in this price range?

What is the approx transfer costs from Johan to Timb? Timb to SS? SS to Nelspruit.

Any assistance/recommendations you could provide would be appreciated. Thanks.

4 replies to this topic

Not all 2025 rates are released yet but I would definitely recommend Honeyguide and maybe Umkumbe or Elephant plains.

Transfer to Honeyguide to EP or Umkumbe to Nelspruit, these can be quite pricy , approximately R5000 pp. just an estimate on 2024 rates.

It is far in advance but the budget friendly lodges book out quickly so no harm in booking early.

Sandy - owner - Love Africa Travel

Thanks for your input. Those where the 2 lodges we were leaning towards. We were just wondering if we should be looking to a lodge in Timb. to complement SS as that is what people seem to suggest. The transfer fees also put things into perspective on why people choose to self drive. We are still leery on getting lost on some dirt road surrounded by lions LOL. Will probably contact some agents for transfers and packages latter this year. Thanks again for your input.

We would love to hear any other recommendations for 2 complementary lodges in our price rage.

My TO recommends Notten's as the best value in Sabi Sands. Good sized traversing area shared with Sabi Sabi in the southern section of Sabi Sands. Typically more leopards than you can shake a stick at....

Link to pretty good map of greater Kruger showing traversing areas.

https://blog.sunsafaris.com/2015/06/sun-safaris-kruger-area-map/

Thanks, Nottens was on our list but it's a bit more expensive than our budget allows. Umkumbe is in pretty close to nottens but a bit more affordable. PS Thanks for the link. The map of Kruger is excellent.

Egypt Experience

Tour was well coordinated and the guide was extremely knowledgeable about the sites. He told us this was his first trip with Intrepid, which you would never have known since everything went very smoothly.

• Overland Truck

Southern Africa Encompassed: Bush Camps & Wildlife Spotting

Amazing tour which covered so many national parks - which means more chances to see the Big 5. Our CEO Nigel was amazing! Not only could he cook well, he was very informative and supportive! Camping was also not too bad, with opportunity to upgrade at certain campsites. There were early mornings and long drives but the Lando was comfortable with USB chargers (plus you can see many animals along the way!) Overall, an awesome and safe taster trip to Southern Africa that I would recommend to anyone who is thinking of doing their first safari!!

Highlights of Morocco

I had a great experience with the tour. Great itinerary and very well organized.

Goddess Hathor - 8 Days (5 stars)

Very good tour. Full on, but very good. Anas our guide went out of his way to make sure we were all happy, and even showed us some local spots to eat at when we had enough of the food on the boat.

Egypt Explorer - Felucca cruise & Red Sea

This trip is amazing! Timeless Tours was very helpful in aiding us to adjust the schedule due to a flight delay making us miss the first day of the trip. They worked hard to arrange logistics for us, and we are very appreciative! George T. was a fun guide who enjoys jokes! I highly recommend this trip for anyone interested.

• 10% deposit on some dates Some departure dates offer you the chance to book this tour with a lower deposit.

• River Cruise

Best Of Egypt - 5* Cruise

Excellent Itinerary and knowledgeable tour guide

Essential Morocco

I loved this trip! Our tour guide Mariam was amazing and made sure we saw everything. No question went unanswered and she was extremely positive and upbeat. I felt so safe the entire time. Loved everything about this trip and fell in love with the country and its people.

Magic of Egypt (with free All inclusive upgrade hurghada hotel) 12 Days

This was a once in a life time experience! The itinerary was packed, but allowed you to see everything Egypt in a short amount of time.

• Book With Flexibility This operator allows you to rebook your dates or tours with them for free, waiving change fees.

8 Days Pyramids and Nile Cruise Aswan - Abu simbel - Luxor - Hurghada

Tour coordinator and guides are all very kind and helpful. Nile cruise was a bit too tight of schedule, it would be nice if it stretch out a bit so that I can enjoy more of local culture. Nile cruise could be a holiday of its own

Pharaohs Nile Cruise Adventure - Return Flights Included

It was very enjoyable, our guides were very good, thank you for everything.

9 Days Nile Jewel (Cairo, Cruise, Hurghada) Superior hotels

The 9-day Nile tour with Vacations To Go is genuinely worth it! I'm impressed with both the accommodations and the tour itinerary. The package offers three fantastic experiences, a 3 night cruise, and a two-night stay at an all-inclusive resort in Hurghada. My only suggestion is to consider adding more nights to the Hurghada stay.

Nile Jewel - 5* Cruise

Very well organized from the beginning until the end. We had a very good guide Nabil, he was very caring about the group and knew a lot about Egyptian history. He spoke well English. So thank you for the trip!

Southern Africa Southbound: Dunes, Deltas & Falls

It was a great experience overview South Africa by overland truck. Camping area was clean and mattress is quite comfy. Our CEO was there to assist with questions and planning a varieties of meals even for vegetarians. They are hard workers and fun as well! You can upgrade to a private room when possible and within reasonable price. Could have spent more times with the locals and experience their culture. Lots of activities to do from skydiving, canoeing, bungy jumping...not a time to get bored. Our group consist of people from 19-50's years young. Would recommend this trip to anyone!

• Coach / Bus

Essential Egypt (5 Star Hotels)

Best guided tour couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Mo was a fountain of information you can tell he’s passionate about Egyptian history and culture. He diligently made sure the group total experience was above satisfactory. Highly recommend!

• €150 deposit on some dates Some departure dates offer you the chance to book this tour with a lower deposit.

14-day Kruger to the Delta, Chobe & Victoria Falls (Accommodated)

It was excellent, we were a good group with not many people and our guide Simon was perfect with us.

What people love about Africa Tours in July

Ahmed was perfect. In every way

Bei der Reise wurden die tollsten Ziele aus Botswana und Zimbabwe und Südafrika erreicht. An Natur und campingmöglichkwiten kaum zu übertreffen!! Dennoch sind die Fahrtzeiten logischerweise recht lang, es lohnt sich jedoch jeden Tag wieder! Ich habe so tolle Leute kennengelernt, einige fürs Leben. Meine Gruppe und die Guides waren hervorragend. Ich würde diese Reise jedem empfehlen.

Everything is good. The tour guide Sophie is the best.

Why a major Miami cruise company has canceled over a dozen international trips for 2025

M iami-based Norwegian Cruise Line has canceled at least 14 cruises on 7 ships in 2025 as a booming industry confronts global conflict and other issues.

The cancellations include trips in May and September on Norwegian Viva, the company’s newest ship, and ones in April through June on Norwegian Sky, which frequently sails from PortMiami.

Norwegian said customers who are affected will get a full refund and a 10% discount on future sailings through Dec. 31, 2025.

In a statement, the company said that the cancellations “are a result of varied events, including the ongoing situation in the Red Sea and Israel, modified dry dock schedules for ship enhancements, a full ship charter, and lastly, to accommodate the demand for shorter close-to-home voyages to the Bahamas.”

Suspended trips include the Norwegian Jade from Feb. 20 through March 24, 2025. That ship often departs from Port Canaveral.

Norwegian remains optimistic about cruising. This week, the company ordered eight new ships, its largest ever single purchase, a milestone celebrated at Seatrade Cruise Global, a four-day annual industry conference at the Miami Beach Convention Center. They will be delivered between 2026 and 2036.

Since the terror group Hamas attacked Israel and the Gaza war started in October, cruise companies have been canceling trips to the Middle East.

Next year’s cruise cancellations affect passengers of the Norwegian Epic, Norwegian Sky, and Norwegian Viva.

A March 28 letter to passengers said: “We have been monitoring the situation in Israel, and despite our best hopes that it would de-escalate, we have made the decision to alter published itineraries that transit through and around the region.”

For Epic, the decision was made “in order to reroute her and accommodate the early start to her Caribbean cruise season.”

The Sky will be rerouted around Africa and deployed to Eastern, Western, and Southern Africa, a letter to those passengers said.

Viva is being sent to the Mediterranean, passengers were told in a letter.

Despite any security risks, major airlines including United and Delta have said they will resume flights to Israel. Next week, El Al resumes non-stop service between Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and Tel Aviv twice a week. The Israeli airline continues to offer five flights a week from Miami International Airport.

Norwegian in its statement said the cruise company remains committed to taking its guests to “some of the most sought-out destinations around the world.” But sometimes, itineraries need to be modified to “accommodate certain circumstances.”

Other reasons for the cruise changes

But security in the Middle East isn’t the only reason for the changes.

The Norwegian Star canceled because of a “full ship charter.” That means a private organization offered to rent out the whole ship for an entire trip.

The Norwegian Spirit underwent a planned renovation in less time than anticipated, and so now wants to use that time for a longer trip. “As the renovation period will be complete prior to schedule, we now have the opportunity to enhance the originally scheduled January 21, 2025 itinerary, and offer a longer and more immersive experience,” it told guests in a letter.

Meanwhile the canceled sailings on the Norwegian Jade from Feb. 20 through March 25 is “part of a fleet redeployment to accommodate strong demand for cruises through the Panama Canal and to the Bahamas,” the company wrote in a letter to passengers.

Schedule, venues confirmed for England WTC25 tour of New Zealand

New Zealand Cricket have announced dates and locations for the England Test series, beginning in late November.

Hagley Oval in Christchurch, the Basin Reserve in Wellington, and Seddon Park in Hamilton will host New Zealand's three Tests, all part of the ongoing 2023-2025 World Test Championship.

New Zealand Cricket chief executive Scott Weenink says the early announcement of England's Test tour comes after a surge in popularity in the long format, where seven of the eight days of the two Tests against Australia earlier this year were sold out.

“In the past, there’s often been a lot of talk in New Zealand about the popularity of Test cricket - without that translating into ticket sales or viewership numbers,” he said.

“The difference over the past summer, and in terms of the upcoming Tests against England, is that the interest is being converted to bums on seats and is driving record viewership numbers.

“We’re looking forward to that continuing over the upcoming summer, and to welcoming the England team and their fans to the Tests, and of course all the Kiwi-based supporters as well.”

Winners of the first World Test Championship cycle in 2021, New Zealand sit in third on the 2023-2025 table, having collected 50% of possible points in their campaign thus far. The Black Caps claimed maximum points in their home series against South Africa and collected a win in their away two-match series with Bangladesh, before falling to a 2-0 series defeat to current defending World Test Champions Australia.

Both Australia and Sri Lanka women’s teams, alongside the Sri Lanka and Pakistan men’s teams, will also be touring in the 2024/2025 summer.

The remainder of New Zealand's home international schedule will be announced later in the year.

And there some stories to be told during the Moscow metro tour! The deepest station - Park Pobedy - is 84 metres under the ground with the world longest escalator of 140 meters. Parts of the so-called Metro-2, a secret strategic system of underground tunnels, was used for its construction.
