How to choose an African safari
Safari has come a long way since colonial times; the days of the 'white hunters' accompanied by dozens of porters, when killing was prized over conservation. Today, there are more ways to go on safari than ever before, and as the continent opens up to tourism, with better infrastructure, qualified tour guides and a wide range of accommodation, there are more destinations to choose from as well, with Rwanda, Zimbabwe and Ethiopia being added to the list of more traditional safari hotspots.
Tracking down the right safari may seem as tough as spotting a leopard in the bush, but our guide to how to choose a safari pushes back the branches and focuses your lens on the right African holiday for you.

Bush camp safaris
The original safari choice, camping harks back to the days when hunters spent months tracking game across the continent. Bush camps bring you up close to Africa’s wildlife, separated by just a sheet of canvas. Camps may be permanent or mobile, luxurious or bare-bones wilderness camps – all add that extra spark of adventure as night falls and the wilderness comes to life. Mobile camps have minimal impact, vanishing without a trace come morning.Lodge safaris
Lodge safaris embody rustic luxury, with comfy beds and traditional features, they also make the most of modern technology such as solar heated water. You may be in a larger central lodge or individual cabins with en suite facilities and private verandahs. You’re likely to travel between lodges during your safari, but we recommend at least two nights in each, to let you relax and explore your surroundings.Family safaris
Safaris & beach
Safaris are a thrilling yet busy way to holiday, with pre-dawn starts, and long, juddery journeys... Get ready for the 'African massage'! While the thought of the Big Five will no doubt have you bounding out of bed in the dark, a beach at the end of it all will be a welcome contrast. Zanzibar, South Africa, Mozambique and even Mauritius are perfect for post-safari sea and sand.Tribal cultures & wildlife
Walking safaris
A walking safari brings you up close to Africa – on its own terms. Your guide can show you how to track wildlife, and you’ll discover savannah and desert ecosystems. Meeting animals on foot commands a serious amount of respect! Your senses are heightened, and small things take on huge importance – a print, a plant, a curious insect. Zambia is the go-to place for walking safaris, but other top experiences include walking with the Maasai in Kenya and tracking rhino in Namibia.Our top Safari Holiday
