Head out on safari in Botswana, Kenya and Tanzania for close-encounters with the wildlife


There are many reasons why Botswana is a top choice for first timers to the great continent. With herds of elephants and easy-to-spot big cats this incredible location is not only wildlife-rich but has remarkable views. Board a boat down the Chobe Riveror book a luxury safari for a more intimate experience. For the more seasoned safari traveller or those keen to avoid the busy spots, head to Kenya where you might catch a glimpse of the ‘Big Five’ (lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, and rhinoceros) which are notoriously hard to find in one trip. For the real thrill-seekers, Tanzania offers walking safaris where you can marvel at flocks of flamingos or even get a glimpse of the endangered black rhino on foot.
