Enjoy the variety of the African bush on sunrise and sunset game drives and bush walks. Encounter thrills on our premier luxury safaris and track wild animals in their natural habitat and learning about the smaller, but equally important, creatures makes for a fascinating learning experience.
Africa is renowned for its diverse wildlife, including the Big 5. You are likely to see these majestic animals on your safari as well as plains game and reptiles. Each African country offers a different variety of wildlife, so the more you travel the more you are likely to see. From the Kruger National Park in South Africa, to the Chobe National Park and the Okavango Delta in Botswana to Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe – each park is unique.
The Big Five is popular for good reason, but if you look beyond them you will find a large number of rare and elusive species too. Many of these are in need of attention and conservation action. They include leopard, brown hyaena, pangolin, wild dog and cheetah to name a few. Certain areas focus their conservation efforts on these rare species so that visitors get the opportunity to see them before they disappear completely.
Surround yourself with beauty at a bush-based lodge and keep your eyes open for the wildlife around you. Join a ranger-led bush walk for an intimate experience of the wild and awaken your senses.
