South Africa

South Africa is surely the land of adventure, whether you are on safari in the world famous Kruger National Park in the north or in the Cape Wine Region in the south, there are an infinite number of things to do and keep you busy as an avid adventurer. The Drakensberg mountain range is one of the longest mountain ranges in Africa, with an abundance of hiking trails and adventure filled activities. National Parks and Game Reserves are scattered throughout the country, which means you will never be too far from some of the best animal encounters and that “Big-5” experience.

Botswana

Botswana is one of Africa’s most beautiful countries and spectacular safari destination, boasting the world's highest concentration of elephants in the world famous Chobe National Park. With the sheer amount of wildlife, friendly locals and one of the safest African countries makes Botswana well worth a visit. In the north you will find the Okavango Delta, the largest inland river delta in the world. These waterways allows for superb wildlife viewing from dugout canoes and houseboats floating past elephants, hippos and crocodiles making this an incredible and unforgettable experience.

Kenya

Magical Kenya as the locals describe it, surely is a magical place with its breathtakingly beautiful scenery and wild animals roaming the vast plains. Kenya has a large amount of land area devoted to animal habitats and wildlife reserves. The Maasai Mara National Reserve is well known for the great migration between June and September where millions of wildebeest migrate from the Serengeti. Mount Kilimanjaro can also be seen from Kenya on the southern border in the Amboseli National Park, which makes for spectacular safaris and any photographers dream.

Namibia

Namibia with its beautiful scenes of desert dunes ending on the harsh shores of the Atlantic Ocean is the African country with the lowest population density. This relentless but beautiful wilderness will leave many speechless, named after the world's oldest desert the Namib Desert. Skeleton Coast National Park with wrecks of large ships scattered along the coastline must be one of the many highlights this African country has to offer. Owning or renting a 4x4 vehicle for your trip to Namibia is advised and will add to your experience as many areas and national parks can only be reached by dirt roads or 4x4 routes.
