Adventure To Africa

Visits to Zambia and Victoria Falls lead the way to a thrilling safari adventure that assures the willing traveler some of the most luxurious campsites within the wild, whilst in search of the illustrious Big Five of the animal kingdom, being the cape buffalo, elephant, leopard, lion and rhinoceros.

South Africa as well offers many delights. Cape Town, situated on the southern-most tip of Africa, is one of the world’s most beautiful cities, providing five-star luxury accommodations, views of Table Mountain, and access to elegant wine estates, picturesque villages and acts as your gateway to the numerous luxury safari camps in the Northeast corridor. 

The safari adventurer has numerous opportunities to get close to local wildlife in an intimate way not possible in the crowded, tourist-packed, parks of the Serengeti. The Kruger National Park limits the number of people that can enter at one time, ensuring that each of the guests in the privately owned luxury camps has a unique opportunity to view the African animals in their native environment. Because the park’s inhabitants are not exposed to large numbers of tourists, each encounter is more authentic and exciting than those in more populated areas.

In Botswana, the Okavango River drains inland to form the Okavango Delta, one of the largest inland deltas in the world. It is a 6000-square-mile labyrinth of lagoons, channels, and islands that is called “the river that never reaches the sea.” It houses a profusion of wildlife: hippopotamuses, elephants, water buffalo, impala, kudu, and more. The papyrus stands along its borders are home to more than three-hundred-and-fifty species of birds. The government grants private concessions inside Okavango, including exclusive safari camps. These safaris restrict the number of guests to as few as twelve, which permits outstanding wildlife viewing opportunities in a natural, unspoiled environment.
