Africa Regions & Destinations

The Maasai Mara Game Reserves

With its varied and comely landscapes and its famously plentiful wildlife, the Maasai Mara epitomizes all that draws us so eagerly to Africa.

Serengeti National Park

When we think of Africa, many of us–old Africa hands and armchair dreamers alike–think of the Serengeti. For excellent, accurate reasons.

Amboseli National Park

Amboseli’s animals are legendary, its situation beneath Mount Kilimanjaro is sublime, and its lodges and camps are extraordinarily hospitable and reposeful.

Tarangire National Park

Tarangire is a landscape lover’s Eden, an animal fancier’s Nirvana, and a balm for lovers of quietude in the midst of great natural exuberance.

Lake Manyara National Park

Lake Manyara is the beautiful home of mega-throngs of flamingos, as viewers of Out of Africa will know, and want to see for themselves.

Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha

These two flamingo-haven rift lakes bear witness to Africa’s slow geologic upheavals–and to the continent’s flair for large, heart-pumping loveliness.

Zanzibar

Zanzibar, the legendary Spice Island entrepôt, politely lures us with its white sand beaches, quietly jazzy resorts, and its historic Stone Town.

Arusha

A charming gateway to some of East Africa’s greatest gamelands.

Selous and Ruaha Game Reserves

An undisturbed playground of beauty reserved solely for the enrichment of its bountiful and truly wild wildlife, The Selous is one of Africa’s natural wonders.

Kigali​

Rwanda’s capital city “pulses with African charm,” says the New York Times…and us.

Victoria Falls

After a half-century in the safari business, we’re still astounded by Victoria Falls and our trips to the immense cascade are comprehensive and enthralling.

Tswalu Game Reserve

Only 30 guests at a time experience Tswalu, a vast private reserve owned and operated by one of South Africa’s great families.

The Okavango Delta

That the Okavango Delta is a stand-alone natural phenomenon is a given. Luckily for us, it’s surpassingly beautiful, animal-rich, and deeply reposeful.

Savuti and Chobe National Park

Chobe was justly the first Botswanan national park, as it’s home to one the world’s richest populations of big, little, and always enchanting wildlife.

​Stellenbosch, Franschhoek and the Cape Winelands

Quite aside from its stellar vintages, the Cape Winelands is surely the most grandly beautiful of the world’s wine producing regions.

KwaZulu-Natal

The Garden Province is a particularly comely example of South Africa’s spectacular variety.

The Makgadikgadi Pans

Botswana’s Makgadikgadi Pans, perhaps the planet’s largest salt flats, attract connoisseurs of one-of-a-kind landscapes and the highly adapted animals who call them home.

The Western Cape

The bright and beautiful lights of Cape Town and the Western Cape’s marvellously varietal Winelands, seaside villages, and the rocky Cape Peninsula.

Skeleton Coast and Kaokoveld

Supremely desolate, the Skeleton Coast reveals astonishing details, large and small: towering dunes, desert animals, and an endlessly theatrical meeting of land and water.

Swakopmund and Walvis Bay

Admired for its homey charm, Swakopmund is Namibia’s gateway to desert and sea adventuring and whale watching at nearby Walvis Bay.

Kruger National Park and Sabi Sand Game Reserve
