There's something to suit everyone: whether you see yourself riding in an open vehicle to track a pride of lions on the hunt, walking across the Masai Mara at dawn or flying over the Okavango Delta in a helicopter, we can turn your imagination into reality.

We know Africa and with the benefit of our firsthand experience we can help you make the best choices about the different destinations and types of African safaris when you're faced with so many options.

Firstly, you'll either need to decide between southern and East Africa or combine these 2 great safari destinations.

Then, for classic scenery and thrilling African wildlife you can head for the great savannahs of Kenya and Tanzania, explore Botswana's Okavango Delta or soak up the silence and soulfulness of Namibia's great deserts.

If you're looking for something a little different and off the beaten track, then consider one of our African safaris in Uganda, Zambia's South Luangwa or southern Tanzania's Selous Game Reserve or Ruaha National Park. If you can't find what you're looking for then check out our range of seriously remote and exclusive tours on our Luxury Holidays in Africa feature.

South Africa offers a range of safaris to suit everyone. Choose between the enormous diversity of the Kruger National Park or its more exclusive neighbour, the Sabi Sands Private Reserve, where you might see the Big 5 on a single game drive.

South Africa also offers malaria-free safaris - the Madikwe Game Reserve and the Eastern Cape's many reserves are well-established and make a great pairing with a visit to other destinations such as Cape Town or the Garden Route.

To guide you further in your decision-making process, we've broken our African Safaris down into 6 types to suit your preference, personality and pocket.

Our Tailor-made African Safaris give you the freedom to choose your own dates, times and itinerary - tell us what you want and when and we'll do the rest.

Alternatively, Scheduled African Safaris have you covered: whether you decide on an intimate, professional Guided Small Group Safari, a big-hearted Overland Adventure or a 'see-the-highlights' Scheduled Group Departure, you'll find the best way to experience Africa.

For the more exacting safari traveller we have a range of Specialist African Safaris where your passions or interests leap into life: gorilla trekking, bird watching, scuba-diving, walking trails...name it; we'll organise it.

And finally, our team has been given carte blanche to put together something quite special - our Ultimate African Safaris pull no punches as they deliver what we believe to be some of Africa's most amazing safari experiences - a 'very best' of Africa - where the focus is on exclusivity, unparalleled wildlife viewing and an absolutely incredible once-in-a-lifetime experience.
