Taking a safari on your African holiday is the ultimate wildlife experience! From observing the Great Migration in Tanzania to exploring the mist-covered forests of Uganda on a Gorilla-trekking adventure, African safaris are the most popular choice for avid wildlife lovers. If you take an African safari you’ll probably want to see all the members of the famous ‘Big Five’: the lion, leopard, rhinoceros, elephant, and buffalo. Some of the best places to spot these legendary creatures are in the wildlife reserves and national parks of South Africa, Kenya, Tanzania and Namibia.

A holiday to Africa is also the chance to experience a rich diversity of cultures, observe colourful local life and view some of the most unspoilt and spectacular landscapes on earth. Africa’s coastline is awash with idyllic beaches, whilst this huge continent is also home to dynamic cities and awe-inspiring historic sights. Furthermore, combining multiple countries into one multi-centre African holiday is an ideal way to gain an understanding of the continent as a whole. 

South African safari holiday packages

South Africa is one of Africa’s most sought-after safari destinations. Home to the world-famous Kruger National Park, a safari holiday package to South Africa is perfect for those who dream of seeing lions in the wild. In fact, Kruger National Park is home to one of the largest populations of lions in Africa! You can also spot the other four members of the ‘Big Five’ within this famous national park. 

What makes a South African safari holiday so appealing is that wildlife spotting can be combined with sightseeing in the vibrant cities of Johannesburg, Pretoria or Cape Town. This ‘Rainbow Nation’ is known for its complex history, so a package holiday to South Africa is also the chance to uncover the heritage of this wonderful country!
