Luxury African Safari Holidays and Tours

Africa Safari Holidays

Whether it’s the wildlife, the scenery, or – more than likely – the people that you remember most, Africa is out on its own for sheer scale, variety and dramatic impact.

It’s an extraordinary place that will entice you back again and again, from the elegance and charm of Cape Town to the primal attractions of the Serengeti to the impossibly perfect beaches lapped by the Indian Ocean. The fact that it has so much to discover is made all the more attractive by the new crop of hotels and lodges as luxurious as any in the world, guaranteed to make sure this is one destination you will never forget.

Your African Safari Holidays or Tour

For most visitors the Away2Africa focus is on the Big 5 animals

Luxury Safari operators, Away2Africa have the term that big game hunter's used for their most desirable trophies. The Kruger National Park in South Africa and Kenya's Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara are great places to go in search of the Big 5 and for other mammals and birds. Both the black and the white rhino are endangered, the black rhino more so. The best sightings of white rhino are generally in South Africa and for the black rhino we recommend Namibia's Etosha National Park and Damaraland. Elephants are hugely appealing, some of the largest herds in the world can be found in the Chobe National Park and Linyanti regions of Botswana. Primates, especially gorillas and chimpanzees are charismatic animals and often a focus for the wildlife traveller. If this is your main interest then head for the pristine forests of Uganda, Rwanda and Tanzania.

Predator sightings, particularly the big cats, are always a magical experience and a highlight of any safari. During the famous wildebeest migration in the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania and the Masai Mara in Kenya expect superb predator action, in particular lions and cheetah. Leopards are best observed on night drives in the Kruger Park in South Africa, the Okavango Delta in Botswana and the South Luangwa in Zambia.

Once you've decided on your game viewing priorities it is time to choose how you wish to experience it. Ask yourself, "What type of experience am I after?"
