Most visitors to Zimbabwe experience the “must see” Victoria Falls, ‘one of the seven natural wonders of the world,’ and the adventure capital of the region. Described as the world’s largest curtain of falling water, Victoria Falls is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Zimbabwe's game rich national parks also serve up breathtaking sunrises, up close wildlife encounters and star-studded night skies.
Zambia is a landlocked country blessed with an abundance of wildlife, awe-inspiring natural wonders, huge water bodies and vast open spaces. This is the land of the legendary African walking safari and probably southern Africa’s best kept secret as it is regarded as one of the last true wildernesses. Home to the iconic Victoria Falls, and Livingstone, Zambia’s game reserves are relatively undiscovered treasures for those seeking a more off-the-beaten path Zambia safari.
It is Tanzania’s incredible diversity of game-viewing areas with unparalleled numbers of animals, herds of elephant, giant migrations of zebra and wildebeest that appeals to us. We love Tanzania from the snow-capped summit of Mount Kilimanjaro to the vast herds of game grazing on the endless plains of the Serengeti and the game rich Ngorongoro Crater, as well as the sun-kissed beaches of Zanzibar to the people. Tanzania is home to some charming hosts. There are a few different tribes who make their lives in the bush, but the most well-known is the colorfully dressed Maasai.
South Africa has been called “A world in one country”. It offers cosmopolitan cities, a rainbow nation of richly diverse cultures, spectacular scenery and of course the Big Five safari experience. South Africa has it all!
