AFRICA SAFARI ADVENTURES

Whether you prefer luxury lodges or overland truck tours, safari on horseback or by river-boat, there’s an adventure to be had on this beautiful, diverse continent.

Safari means ‘long journey’ in Swahili. Today, safari-goers can bypass the arduous up-country trek of yesteryear and be deep in the African bush within 24 hours of Heathrow.

So, with half a continent at your disposal, where do you start?

• The endless plains of Tanzania’s Serengeti
• The hidden waterways of Botswana’s Okavango Delta
• Would you enjoy the spectacle of wildebeest herds sweeping across open savannah from a jeep, paddle past lazing crocodiles or tail a pride of lions on foot

World Class Adventures has access to the best tour operators and will tailor the perfect holiday just for you.

For most first-timers, the ‘Big Five’ (lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant and rhino) top the wish list Then there are the equally iconic giraffes, zebras and hippos – not forgetting the fascinating smaller stuff, from chameleons and dung beetles to meerkats and hornbills.

Whilst each destination has both it's famous and its absentees (no point looking for springbok in the Serengeti or cheetahs in Luangwa), the sheer richness and variety at almost any one of them, and the grandeur of the African backdrop, is bound to blow you away.

• Masai Mara, Kenya – Made famous by TV documentaries, Kenya’s savannahs and predators have become synonymous with Africa. Be there when huge herds of wildebeest and other grazers arrive for the great migration, a magnet for predators; lion and cheetah. Other top species include elephant, giraffe and rare black rhinos.

• Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania - Everything that applies to the Masai Mara applies here, on an even bigger scale. It also houses the Ngorongoro a volcanic caldera encloses 250 sq km of plains, forest and lakes, and harbours an improbable concentration of wildlife – including lions, elephants and black rhinos. – You are guaranteed to have a safari of a lifetime here

• Kruger National Park, South Africa – More managed and crowded but it has enough backroads and bush camps to satisfy those with serious wilderness cravings. With the Big Five (including both rhino species) all thriving, plus cheetah, wild dog, numerous large herbivores and 500-plus bird species, you will see a huge selection here.

• Chobe National Park & Moremi Game Reserve Botswana - Come the dry season, wildlife throngs the riverfront in the far north of Chobe National Park, where boat cruises pass elephant herds and buffaloes. Lions and hyenas roam the loop roads, while Sable are among the many herbivores. Victoria Falls is just a day-trip away.

• The Moremi Reserve of the Okavango Delta, Bostwana - Seasonal waterways lure prolific game numbers from the surrounding mopane woodland. Predators, including wild dog, are abundant. Boat cruises across the lagoons or mokoro (dugout canoe) trips down the narrow channels offer plentiful big game and birdlife.

• South Luangwa National Park, Zambia - At the end of the dry season game concentrates around the shrinking river and its hippo-filled lagoons, making for easy viewing of a full wildlife spectrum (except rhino and cheetah). Night drives allow the thrill of following big cats on the prowl and guided walks offer an adrenaline-fuelled ground-level insight into the bush.

• Etosha National Park, Namibia - Etosha is Namibia’s Kruger. The harsh, semi-arid terrain, of thorn scrub, calcrete rubble and vast, shimmering saltpan is certainly different, and with no rivers, there'll be no hippos and crocs.  But visit spring-fed waterholes and you’ll be rewarded with sightings of Zebra, giraffe, oryx plus boisterous elephant herds and cantankerous black rhinos. Lion prides lurk in ambush.
