Safari in Botswana
Botswana is the ultimate safari experience. A safari in Botswana offers superb
wildlife, vast untamed wilderness areas in private safari reserves, few tourists,
amazing scenery and even large herds (though not as large as the migration
herds in Kenya or Tanzania). Botswana's prime safari areas are the Okavango
Delta, Linyanti Wildlife Reserve, Chobe National Park and the Makgadikgadi
Pans.
Safari in Kenya
Kenya is the land where safaris first took place. It is a land of great beauty and includes game reserves offering some of Africa's best wildlife viewing.

Other Kenya highlights include Amboseli National Park, Samburu National park, Mount Kenya, Tsavo National Park, Lake Nakuru, Lewa Wilderness and more.
Safari in Malawi
Malawi is well know for being "The warm Heart of Africa". It is dominated by its lake - Lake Malawi - carved out as part of the Great Rift Valley and Africa's third largest lake and the focus of much of the country's tourism. Besides the lake with its colorful cichlid fishes, Malawi offers forest and montane reserves. While not in the same league as East Africa's savanna reserves, Malawi offers good game viewing in Liwonde National park, Nyika, Vwaza and Nkhotakota - all are easy and inexpensive to visit.
Safari in Mozambique

While the north of the country is almost untravelled, most travellers only visit the south coast, which is long established as a tourist destination with numerous beach resorts, delicious Portuguese cuisine and within a day's drive from Johannesburg. The south coast is beautiful and offers adventure in the sea including snorkelling, great diving and world-class game fishing off the coast.

areas are Etosha National Park, the Skeleton Coast, Sossusvlei and the Namib
desert, and Damaraland.
