Pack light, neutral-colored clothing, comfortable walking shoes, a hat, sunscreen, insect repellent, binoculars, and a good camera. Soft-sided luggage is required on many bush flights. Our travel experts provide packing guidance before departure.

We recommend booking 12 – 18 months in advance, especially for peak seasons like the Great Migration or festive periods. Top lodges and private guides are in high demand and sell out early. Early booking also locks in current rates and secures the best availability.

Yes. Multi-destination itineraries are very popular. For example:

• Kruger Park in South Africa + Victoria Falls + Chobe in Botswana.
• Kenya’s Masai Mara + Tanzania’s Serengeti for the Great Migration.

Our packages are designed to make these combinations seamless with bush flights and private transfers and are completely customizable and tailored to your specific requirements.

Absolutely. Many lodges primarily in South Africa, Kenya, and Tanzania welcome children and offer family safari packages with interconnecting suites, child-friendly guides, and junior ranger programs. Malaria-free reserves such as Madikwe Game Reserve make safaris particularly appealing for families.

Safaris with established operators like Safari Africa Travel are safe. Furthermore Lodges and camps follow strict safety protocols, guides are highly trained, and transfers are professionally managed. Malaria precautions may be necessary in some areas, and our team provides full travel health advice before departure.

Luxury African safari packages typically range from USD $7000 – $20 000 per person for 7–10 nights, depending on season, destinations, and lodge level. Packages with private guides, fly-in connections, or exclusive villas are at the higher end. We work with your budget to create a personalized journey.

Top destinations for African tours and safaris include:

• South Africa: Greater Kruger National Park, Sabi Sand and Madikwe Game Reserve.
• Botswana: The Okavango Delta, Chobe National Park and Makgadikgadi Pans.
• Tanzania: The Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater.
• Kenya: Masai Mara, Laikipia and Amboseli.
• Zimbabwe & Zambia: Hwange, Mana Pools, Lower Zambezi and Victoria Falls.
• Namibia: Etosha, Sossusvlei and The Skeleton Coast.
• Uganda & Rwanda: Gorilla trekking in Bwindi and Volcanoes National Park.

The best time for an African safari depends on the region:  

• Southern Africa (South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia): May – October (dry season) offers excellent game viewing.
• East Africa (Kenya, Tanzania): July – October for the wildebeest migration; December – March for calving season.
• Victoria Falls: March – May for peak water flow; September- December for adventure activities when levels are lower.

Choosing the right safari depends on your interests, budget, and travel style. For example, if you want to see the Great Migration, East Africa (Kenya and Tanzania) is best. If you prefer exclusive lodges and water-based experiences, Botswana’s Okavango Delta is ideal. Families often choose malaria-free areas like Madikwe in South Africa. Our experts will match your preferences to the perfect package.

An African safari package typically includes luxury accommodation, daily game drives with expert guides, meals, and transfers between lodges and airports. Many packages also cover conservation fees, bush flights, and tailored activities such as walking safaris, mokoro excursions, or cultural visits . At Safari Africa Travel, we create seamless itineraries where every detail – from flights to private transfers – is handled for you.
