Top safari destinations

Safari holidays can be enjoyed in countries across the African continent, and we can also help arrange tours that follow the path of the Great Migration across Tanzania and Kenya - but these are some of our top recommended destinations for your safari trip, depending on what you want to see on your journey. 

Tanzania

Home to the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania offers front-row seats to the Great Migration in June to November, and awe-inspiring landscapes at every time of year. And when the safari is over, why not add a luxurious beach extension in Zanzibar to add an extra touch of relaxation to your holiday?

Kenya

Explore the iconic Maasai Mara and Amboseli National Park, where wildlife roams freely across dramatic savannahs. You’ll experience the incredible and vibrant local cultures of Kenya through village visits and guided walking safaris.

South Africa

Perfect for first-time safari-goers, South Africa offers easy access to Kruger National Park and private game reserves. Compliment your safari tour with a visit to Cape Town for a vibrant city-and-safari escape.

Botswana

Glide through the Okavango Delta by mokoro canoe or explore Chobe National Park’s elephant herds. Botswana is known for its pristine, uncrowded safari experiences and ultra-luxury lodges.

Namibia

Ideal for adventurers, Namibia features vast desert dunes, striking landscapes, and unique desert-adapted wildlife. Discover solitude and surreal beauty in one unforgettable journey.

FAQs

When is the best time to go on a safari?

The best time depends on your destination, and what you hope to see on safari. Generally, dry season (June to October) offers the best wildlife viewing, while the green season (November to March) is ideal for birdwatching and lush scenery.

What do I need to know before I go on safari?

Pack light, neutral-coloured clothing, sun protection, and binoculars. Your travel consultant can also provide a detailed pre-departure checklist.

Am I guaranteed to see certain animals?

While sightings can never be guaranteed, your chances of seeing the ‘Big Five’ and other iconic animals are high with experienced guides in top wildlife areas.

Do I need a visa for a safari trip?

It depends on your nationality and destination, but rest assured that we’re on hand to help you work out any visa requirements. DW Travel provides full visa support for African safari Dubai departures, ensuring a stress-free process.

Do I need shots or vaccinations before I go?

Some African destinations recommend or in fact require vaccinations (e.g., yellow fever). Your travel consultant can help suggest what vaccinations you may need, but we advise consulting your doctor or a travel health clinic well before departure.
