This page brings together the full range of safari activities available across our tours and destinations. It’s designed for travellers who want a clearer understanding of what happens on a safari holiday, as well as those with specific interests such as wildlife, birdlife, culture, or learning about Southern Africa’s natural environments.

Experience Southern Africa

A closer look at safari life

Safari days are shaped by the environment rather than a fixed routine. Activities take place at the right times for wildlife movement, light, and conditions. This allows guests to experience African sunsets, changing landscapes, and moments of quiet observation alongside more active exploration.

Our activities are offered across multiple destinations and safari tours, with availability depending on location, season, and itinerary structure. Some activities are closely tied to specific areas, while others feature across several destinations.

Guests can explore activities individually and see which tours and destinations include them, helping to shape a safari around personal interests rather than a fixed itinerary alone.

Accommodation to suit your journey

We work with a wide range of accommodation across Southern Africa, including hotels, private lodges, luxury and semi-luxury safari camps, and mobile camping. Whether you’re travelling as a couple, family, or small group, we match comfort and budget without compromising the experience.

Dietary requirements are always catered for, and concierge support is available throughout your trip.
