Luxury African Safaris To

Southern Africa

HIGHLIGHT

Luxury African Safaris in Southern Africa are among the most spectacular — huge wildernesses, iconic wildlife, excellent lodges, variety in landscapes, and often fewer crowds.

Southern Africa

Adventures: Thrills and Sceneries

Luxury African Safaris in Southern Africa offer exceptional experiences across South Africa (Kruger National Park, Sabi Sands, Madikwe, Eastern Cape reserves), Botswana (Okavango Delta, Chobe), Namibia (Namib Desert, Etosha), and Zimbabwe/Zambia (Victoria Falls, Hwange). These trips provide exclusive wildlife viewing, luxurious accommodations like Singita Boulders Lodge and Lion Sands Ivory Lodge, and can be combined with other destinations such as Cape Town, the winelands, or Mozambique.

Cape Town

Cape Town is one of the world’s most iconic cities — where dramatic mountains meet the ocean, and African, European, and Asian cultures blend beautifully. It’s also a natural complement to a Southern Africa luxury safari (fly into Johannesburg/Botswana/Zambia, then finish in Cape Town for culture, food, wine, and ocean views).
The mighty Victoria Falls is worth crossing the continent for, whether it’s to laze in the aptly named Devil’s Pool (take the precarious walk, literally out across the top of the falls to this natural infinity pool, to see what we mean) or to get active with all manner of adventures from white-water rafting to bungee jumping within sight and sound of the falls, known locally as ‘the smoke that thunders. It’s a beautiful, beautiful place, not to mention one of the most awe-inspiring sights on the continent.

South Africa

Offers diverse safari experiences, with iconic destinations like the Kruger National Park for Big Five viewing and Sabi Sand Game Reserve for luxurious game lodges. The region also boasts Madikwe Game Reserve, a malaria-free area, and the unique Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. Safaris can be combined with city breaks to Cape Town, exploring the Garden Route, or visiting the Cape Winelands.  

Botswana

Africa’s most exclusive and pristine safari destinations — perfect for a luxury safari. With vast private concessions, low-impact tourism, and some of the best wildlife viewing on the continent, it’s a dream for those seeking an authentic yet luxurious safari.

Namibia

Africa’s most unique safari destinations — famous for its vast deserts, surreal landscapes, starry skies, and rare desert-adapted wildlife. Unlike traditional “big game” safaris in Kenya or Botswana, Namibia offers a luxury wilderness adventure with dramatic scenery and exclusivity.

Zambia

Often called Africa’s best-kept safari secret — offering a raw, authentic yet luxurious safari experience. It’s famous for walking safaris, remote camps, Victoria Falls, and rich wildlife in pristine wilderness.
