African Safari +

Africa has touched the imaginative and adventurous streak in thousands of people from every walk of life. From Victoria Falls to Mount Kilimanjaro, and The Great Migration to The Okavango Delta, Africa has more animals and birds than any other continent! Alongside the incredible experiences are wonderful accommodations throughout all of Africa. Unique and incredible game lodges are nestled deep within national game reserves to provide authentic safari experiences. You can track the Big Five - lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard and rhinoceros - as well as hundreds of different species including giraffe, hyena, zebra, hippos, wild dogs, and countless others. Not only great for game viewing, Africa is a continent that is rich in history, wildlife, wine, dining, culture, and giving; a perfect place for a culturally enlightening travel experience. You may come for the beasts, but the beauty will be forever inscribed on your heart.
