African Safari Holidays
Southern Africa offers a huge diversity of landscapes and some of the best wildlife viewing in the world. Zambia's Luangwa Valley, where intimate luxury camps are one of Africa's best kept secrets, offers the best walking safaris in Africa. Malawi, with its beautiful lake and upland areas is perfect if you are looking for something different. In Botswana, private concessions offer exclusive safaris into the world famous Okavango Delta and Savuti; a fly-in safari will make the most of your time. Zimbabwe, now in the throes of recovery, overflows with natural splendour, from the iconic Victoria Falls to the ancient ruins of Great Zimbabwe. By contrast, Namibia's dramatic desert landscapes present a unique perspective in which many species survive with virtually no rainfall. Offshore, the enormous island of Madagascar is in a league of its own and its unique wildlife continues to fascinate visitors.
East Africa offers easy flights from the UK, fabulous national parks with guaranteed animal sightings, and breathtaking scenery - all combine to make this one of the world's top wildlife viewing areas. Tanzania's famed Northern Circuit and its wildebeest migration draw many enthusiasts, but the region has many other spectacular parks, like the wilds of Selous in southern Tanzania. The Masai Mara in Kenya continually amazes as one of the world's best wildlife areas, as do the Rift Valley lakes for bird watching. Magnificent populations of mountain gorillas and chimpanzees are found along the borders of Uganda and Rwanda, and an staggering array of mammals and birdlife in Ethiopia
