TANZANIA
Tanzania beckons with vast savannahs, snow-topped mountains, and wild coastlines. Home to Mount Kilimanjaro—Africa’s highest peak—and the legendary wilderness of Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater, it offers some of the world’s greatest wildlife spectacles and safaris.
Nearly 40% of its land is protected, giving you chances to spot the Big Five, vast herds in the seasonal Great Wildebeest Migration, and abundant birdlife. Add tropical beaches, tranquil lakes, and rich cultural heritage, and Tanzania promises adventure, nature, and moments you’ll never forget.
SOUTH AFRICA
South Africa offers travellers an astonishing variety all in one country—from cosmopolitan cities and winelands to sweeping savannahs and pristine coastlines. Experience buzzing urban life in Cape Town with its dramatic Table Mountain and rich history, explore colonial-era architecture in historic towns like Stellenbosch, and sip world-class wines in scenic vineyards.
Venture into the wild in Kruger National Park, where lions, elephants, and other wildlife roam free. Explore ancient caves, coastal beauty, vibrant culture, and stunning landscapes. South Africa packs adventure, nature, culture, and relaxation into one incredible place.
NAMIBIA
Namibia invites exploration with its dramatic contrast of deserts, coastlines, wildlife havens, and timeless landscapes. Wander across fiery red dunes in Soussusvlei, one of the world’s oldest deserts, where ancient camel-thorn trees meet vast, otherworldly salt pans.
On the coast, towns like Swakopmund offer sea breezes, adventure-filled activities, and a unique desert-meets-ocean vibe. Meanwhile, Etosha National Park delivers unforgettable safari moments with elephants, giraffes, rhinos, and big cats gathering around salt-pan watering holes under endless skies. Whether you crave desert solitude, coastal charm, or wild encounters, Namibia promises sweeping scenery, rich wildlife, and memories that last.
ZIMBABWE
Zimbabwe invites you into a wild world where majestic nature and raw adventure meet. From the thunderous Victoria Falls to the sweeping savannahs of Hwange National Park and the remote wilderness of parks like Mana Pools National Park or Gonarezhou National Park, you’ll encounter an incredible tapestry of wildlife.
Expect elephants, lions, buffalo, giraffes, hippos, and more alongside abundant birdlife. Whether you’re on a game drive, a sunset cruise along the Zambezi River, or exploring lush riverfronts and rugged landscapes, Zimbabwe is a safari destination that blends wild beauty and natural wonders.
