Discover the Magic of Africa with Adventure Travel Powered by ADTRAV
With 54 countries, the continent of Africa is more than three times the size of the U.S. and offers an unparalleled variety of wildlife and cultural experiences. When it comes to safaris alone, the options are as diverse as the continent itself. By leveraging the network of preferred partners working with Adventure Travel, guests have the expertise and flexibility to explore Africa with thrilling FIT and guided itineraries, resting in accommodations ranging from tented camps to game lodges, private villas, and more.
Choose The Ultimate African Safari For You
While the countries of Africa span the alphabet from Algeria to Zimbabwe, top destinations for U.S. travelers are predominantly found in the east and south. Join us on a virtual tour as we navigate adventure and comfort in the wild, helping you decide which resonates the most with your number of travelers, unique preferences, and budget.
Tented-Camp Safaris
For a classic safari experience, consider a tented-camp safari. These camps vary in comfort, from basic to luxurious, and offer an immersive experience in the heart of nature. Picture yourself waking up to the sounds of the bush, with elephants grazing nearby. Some notable tented camps include Jack’s Camp in Botswana, where you can experience the stark beauty of the Makgadikgadi Pans and immerse yourself in San Bushmen culture. In Kenya, Mahali Mzuri provides a luxurious tented-camp experience with stunning views of the Maasai Mara. Also in Kenya, at the Laikipia Plateau, is the Loisaba Tented Camp—a sought-after retreat featuring spacious airy tents and starbeds. These enchanting four-poster beds set on raised wooden platforms are wheeled out onto decks in privacy and beauty.
Game-Lodge Safaris
If you prefer a more resort-like setting, a game lodge safari might be ideal. These lodges are typically more permanent structures with solid walls, offering a blend of comfort and adventure. Consider staying at Lion Sands Ivory Lodge in South Africa, where you can indulge in luxury while being surrounded by the Big Five. Royal Malewane in South Africa offers a similar experience, with great accommodations and world-class hospitality. Xigera Safari Lodge occupies a remarkable location in the heart of the Okavango Delta, a notable UNESCO World Heritage Site. This property not only offers amazing access to extraordinary safari experiences but also works to protect the delicate ecosystem by implementing solar energy production and eliminating single-use plastics. Mombo in Botswana and Savanna Private Game Reserve in South Africa provide luxurious settings with exceptional game-viewing opportunities. For a unique experience, consider the Meliá Serengeti Lodge in Tanzania or Habitas Namibia, both offering a blend of comfort and adventure amidst stunning landscapes.
Treehouse Safaris
For a truly magical experience, opt for a treehouse safari. Sleeping under the stars surrounded by the sounds of the African bush is an unforgettable adventure. Lion Sands Ivory Lodge and Treehouses in South Africa offer incredible treehouse accommodations, where you can watch wildlife from your lofty perch and fall asleep to the sounds of the wild.
Family-Friendly Safaris
Traveling with family? Look for safari options that cater to children. Many game reserves have age restrictions for safety reasons, but properties like Giraffe Manor in Kenya offer family-friendly activities and accommodations. Savanna Private Game Reserve in South Africa and Singita Grumeti in Tanzania offer excellent family-friendly facilities and activities. Mahali Mzuri in Kenya and Meliá Serengeti Lodge in Tanzania also cater to families, providing luxurious accommodations and engaging activities for all ages.
Tribal-Culture Safaris
Immerse yourself in local culture with a tribal-culture safari. Visit local communities and learn about their way of life. Jack’s Camp in Botswana offers opportunities to interact with the local San Bushmen, learning about their traditional hunting and gathering techniques.
Walking Safaris
Get up close and personal with wildlife on an exhilarating walking safari. Many lodges offer guided walks, allowing you to experience the bush on foot. It’s a thrilling way to connect with the minute details of nature, though at times not for the faint of heart. One&Only Nyungwe House in Rwanda and Xigera Safari Lodge in Botswana provide excellent walking safari experiences.
Small-Group Safaris for Solo Travelers
If you’re traveling solo, consider joining a small-group safari. These tours offer the camaraderie of a like-minded group while exploring the beauty of Africa. Special interest groups, such as those for photography lovers, are designed to provide a personalized experience. One&Only Gorilla’s Nest in Rwanda and One&Only Nyungwe House in Rwanda offer intimate and engaging experiences for solo travelers.
Self-Drive Safaris
For the adventurous traveler, a self-drive safari allows you to explore at your own pace. Popular in Botswana and Kruger National Park, self-drive safaris offer privacy and flexibility. Simply rent a car from a tour company and hit the road! Namibia is also a great destination for self-drive safaris, with its vast, open landscapes and well-maintained roads. Drive through Etosha National Park and witness the incredible wildlife that calls this region home.
