Best places to go
There are lots of options when it comes to booking a safari in Africa, with some countries famed worldwide for their safaris, and others up-and-coming. Here’s our pick of six of the best.
South Africa
More than one-third of South Africa is covered in savannas, and it’s known for its variety of safaris – whether you’re looking for luxury lodges or no-frills walking trips.
Some of the most popular safaris here include Kruger National Park, which is one of the largest game reserves in all of Africa, spanning almost two million hectares. Just a four-hour drive from Johannesburg, Kruger is home to the big five (lions, leopards, buffalos, rhinos, and elephants). However, you might also get to see giraffes, warthogs, and hyenas.
Alternatively, if you’d prefer to fly into Cape Town, you can visit Aquila Game Reserve instead, which is a two-hour drive away. The big five reside here too, in addition to springboks, which are South Africa’s national animal – and you can’t see them at Kruger!
