A luxury African safari is a wildlife holiday in private nature reserves and concessions across countries such as South Africa, Botswana, Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.

Guests stay in safari lodges or tented camps and enjoy privately guided game drives to see animals like lions, elephants, leopards, rhinos, and buffalo.

Most luxury safaris are on an all-inclusive basis which means two daily game drives and all meals and local drinks included. The best wildlife viewing is usually during the dry season, when animals gather near water sources and the vegetation is less dense.

A Complete Guide to Experiencing Wildlife in Luxury

An African safari is one of the most unforgettable travel experiences anywhere in the world.

It combines breathtaking wildlife encounters, dramatic landscapes, and deeply personal moments in nature, with some of the most unique and luxurious properties imaginable.

Whether you dream of seeing the Big Five on a private game drive, drifting silently through waterways in a mokoro canoe on a Botswana safari, or enjoying sundowners as elephants pass by, a safari delivers a level of connection to the natural world that few journeys can match.

Safaris take place across several iconic regions.

South Africa safaris offer excellent wildlife viewing in the private reserves of the Greater Kruger National Park, home to more species of animals and bird life than any destination in Africa, and arguably the best value due to the weak local currency.

Cape Town, whilst not a safari destination, is also a very popular destination for visitors and is frequently named the #1 city in the world to visit.

Botswana is known for remote, low density concessions in the Okavango Delta.

Kenya and Tanzania deliver classic savannah scenery and the iconic Great Animal Migration which takes place across the Serengeti and Masai Mara.

Zambia and Zimbabwe provide raw wilderness with walking safaris and river based game viewing.

Each of the African safari destinations offer a distinct style of safari experience.

Luxury safari lodges typically operate on an all-inclusive basis, meaning two privately guided game drives and all meals and local drinks included. Private reserves limit the number of vehicles at wildlife sightings, which results in quieter and more exclusive encounters than the general access reserves.

The best time for an African safari depends on the region.

Dry season months usually offer the easiest wildlife viewing since animals gather around water sources. Green season months bring lush landscapes, fewer visitors, and excellent birdlife.

Many travellers combine safari destinations with unspoiled island destinations like the Seychelles in East Africa or Mozambique and Mauritius in Southern Africa.

Whether travelling as a couple, a family, or on a honeymoon, an African safari can be tailored to match your style, budget, and pace.

From tented camps under the stars to ultra luxury villas with private plunge pools, there is a unique safari experience for every type of traveller.

African Safari FAQ's

1. How much does an African safari cost?

If you want a luxury five-star safari with an all-inclusive package option, you should budget for around $700 - $1,000 per person per day. If you're looking for a luxury four-star safari on a bed and breakfast basis, you should budget between $500 - $600 per person sharing daily. The time of year you travel also is a consideration, as rates vary greatly in and out of peak season. For more information see our African Safari Pricing page with costs and details.

2. Which African safari is best?

This is an incredibly difficult question to answer as "best" depends on personal interests. The best value for example, would be a Kruger Park safari in South Africa. The best destination many would argue is the Okavango Delta in Botswana, or the Serengeti in Tanzania.

3. What is the best month to go on a safari in 2026?

The most popular wildlife safari reserve in Africa is The Kruger Park, so let's start there. The best months to visit the Kruger are from August to early October. This is the back-end of winter resulting in cooler daytime temperatures and more active animals. The Kruger is coming out of the dry season and the vegetation is considerably less dense, ideal for game viewing and bush excursions.

4. How long should a safari be?

The average length of a safari is 10 nights, that's the most frequently booked package length. You want to consider the number of destinations you wish to visit but a typical safari package looks like 3-4 nights in Cape Town, 3 nights in the Kruger, and then 3-4 nights on a beach destination in South or East Africa.

5. What are the best locations for an Africa Honeymoon Safari?

South Africa is the leading destination for Africa honeymoons and provides a great variety of options, it's like 4 countries in one package.

The typical South Africa Honeymoon Safari starts with 3 nights in the mother city of Cape Town, rated Top 10 most beautiful in the world. Here you'll enjoy blue flag beaches, world-class wine estates, breathtaking coastlines, and the finest cuisine in all of Africa.

You then move onto the Kruger Park for a wildlife safari, where more often than not you'll see The Big Five animals, interact with elephants, go on 2-a-day private game drives and experience a connection with the wild unmatched anywhere on earth. The average stay in the Kruger varies from 3 - 6 nights and often includes multiple lodges.

Lastly, a popular add-on option is to either visit Victoria Falls for an adventure safari or escape to an exotic island located in the Indian Ocean like Seychelles, Mauritius, or Mozambique.

The typical Africa honeymoon safari package is 7-10 nights and we highly recommend the all-inclusive packages, where everything is managed for you.
