The best safari experiences in Africa are rarely the ones you can book at the last minute. The most sought-after camps hold just a handful of tents, gorilla permits are strictly limited, and rooms in the Serengeti and Masai Mara for the Great Migration are often reserved many months ahead. That is why now is the time to start planning for 2027.
This guide brings together 15 of the best safari experiences in Africa, from a classic Great Migration safari to a luxury safari in South Africa, a honeymoon in a private villa and a journey by luxury train. For each one we explain why it is worth the journey, where and when to go, which safari lodges we would match to it, and what our specialists have learned from visiting the camps themselves.
How we chose them: we looked at what delivers the most memorable wildlife, the best guiding and the most reliable results, then matched each experience to camps we know first-hand. Africa Travel has been planning African holidays for over 30 years, with offices in both the UK and South Africa, so these recommendations come from experience, not from a brochure.
If you are still choosing between destinations, our guide on how to choose your ideal safari destination is a good place to begin. If this is your first safari, read your first safari in Africa as well.
The best safari experiences in Africa include the Great Migration safari in Tanzania and Kenya, gorilla trekking holidays in Rwanda and Uganda, an Okavango Delta safari in Botswana, and a luxury safari in South Africa for Big Five game-viewing in a Private Reserve. Walking safaris, Zambezi canoeing, Namibia's desert landscapes, conservation stays and safari-and-beach combinations complete the list.

Choosing among the best safari experiences in Africa is easier once you know what matters most to you. Four questions narrow the field quickly:
Our guide on how to choose your ideal safari destination walks through the trade-offs country by country, and your first safari in Africa covers the practical basics. If this is your first trip, our first-time safari page is the best place to start.
Expert insight: the most common mistake we see is choosing a destination first and a camp second. In practice, the camp, its location and its guides decide how good your safari will be. Two lodges in the same country can offer very different wildlife, activities and atmosphere.
Each experience below follows the same format: what makes it special, where and when to go, which lodges we recommend, and a tip from our specialists. Read them in order, or jump to the one that fits your plans using the table above.
Around 1.5 million wildebeest, together with hundreds of thousands of zebra and gazelle, circle the Serengeti–Mara ecosystem each year in search of fresh grass. It is the most dramatic wildlife spectacle on Earth, and the one that sells out earliest.
Why go: The Great Migration is not a single event but a year-round journey. Calving on the southern plains, herds massing under huge skies and the Mara River crossings deliver raw, unforgettable drama, with lion, cheetah and crocodile following the herds. Our Great Migration safari itinerary shows how to build the trip, and there are five ways to see the Great Migration depending on your budget and style.
Where and when: Southern Serengeti (Tanzania) from January to March for calving, with thousands of calves born within a few weeks; the Serengeti's western and northern areas through the middle of the year; and the Masai Mara (Kenya) from July to October for river crossings. The herds follow the rains, not the calendar, so timing changes from year to year.
Where to stay: Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti for comfort and scale, Lamai Serengeti for a quiet northern location, Angama Mara for sweeping views over the Mara, and Mara Plains Camp and Governors' Camp for classic Mara game viewing. See our pick of the best camps to view the Great Migration.
Specialist tip: River crossings cannot be predicted to the day, and nobody can guarantee one. Plan for at least four nights in the area so you have several chances, and book a camp that is well placed for your dates. In the Masai Mara, private conservancies limit the number of vehicles at sightings, which makes a real difference at busy times. Reserve 12 months or more ahead for July to October. See our guide to the Masai Mara private conservancies.
Leaving the vehicle behind changes everything. On foot you notice tracks, birds, insects and the scale of the bush in a way a game drive cannot.
Why go: A walking safari is the most immersive way to experience Africa. With an expert guide, you learn to read the bush at a slower pace, from the smell of wild sage to the age of a lion's tracks, and get close to wildlife in a safe, controlled way. The big animals are still there, but the experience is about the details. Browse our favourite walking safaris and see a typical day on a walking safari before you choose.
Where and when: Zimbabwe (Mana Pools and Hwange), Botswana's Linyanti, southern Tanzania and Zambia's South Luangwa, the birthplace of the walking safari, are all outstanding. The dry season, from May to October, offers the best visibility and wildlife concentrations around water. Early mornings are best before the heat builds.
Where to stay: Linyanti Bush Camp, Ruckomechi Camp, Sand Rivers Selous and Little Makalolo Camp.
Specialist tip: Walking safaris are led by highly-trained guides, and you will be briefed before every walk. Choose a camp that offers walking as a core activity rather than an add-on, and check the minimum age, which is often 12yrs old. Bring neutral-coloured clothing and comfortable closed shoes.
Spending an hour with a wild Mountain Gorilla family is a moving, humbling encounter that stays with most travellers for life.
Why go: Gorilla trekking holidays combine a physical adventure with one of the most intimate wildlife encounters on the planet. You trek through bamboo and montane forest to a habituated family, then spend time watching them feed, play and rest. Visitor numbers are tightly controlled, with small groups and a strict one-hour limit once you find the gorillas. Our gorilla trekking holidays page explains how it works, and our guide to where to see gorillas in Africa compares the options. It is also a conservation success story: read how the mountain gorilla conservation status was upgraded.
Where and when: Rwanda (Volcanoes National Park) and Uganda (Bwindi) are the main destinations. Treks run all year, with the drier months from June to September and December to February generally easier underfoot. Treks can last from under an hour to most of a day, depending on where the family has moved, so fitness matters. See gorilla trekking in Rwanda, gorilla trekking in Uganda and the short dry season advantage.
Where to stay: Bisate Lodge, Bwindi Lodge, Sanctuary Gorilla Forest Camp and Magashi Camp.
Specialist tip: Permits are limited and must be secured early, and their price is set by the authorities and changes over time, so we confirm the current rate when we quote. Confirm permits before booking flights, and allow a rest day before the trek. Consider the Great Apes Safari to combine gorillas with other primates, or Rwanda combined with a savannah safari.
Gliding silently through reed-lined channels in a traditional mokoro canoe is one of Africa's most peaceful safari moments.
Why go: An Okavango Delta safari is unlike any other. Water and land activities come together in one place: mokoro trips, boat trips, walks and game drives, with lion, leopard, elephant, wild dog and exceptional birdlife. Our Okavango Delta safari page covers the region, and our Botswana safari guide shows how to build the wider trip, including Okavango Delta holidays that combine the Delta with Chobe and Victoria Falls.
Where and when: The Delta is fed by rain that falls hundreds of kilometres away in Angola, so the water arrives months later. Flood levels peak between June and August, making the dry months the best time for water activities. Wildlife viewing is strong through to October. Levels vary from year to year, and your camp will know the current conditions.
Where to stay: Mombo Camp for predators, Jao Camp for island and water scenery, Vumbura Plains Camp, Duba Plains Camp for lions and buffalo, and Xigera Safari Lodge.
Specialist tip: Pick the camp for the activity mix you want. Some are strongest for water, others for predators, and a split stay of two camps gives you both. Most camps are reached by light aircraft, so pack in soft bags and check baggage limits. See the best time to visit Botswana.
Paddling past elephants drinking on the riverbank puts you at eye level with the wildlife, with nothing but the water between you.
Why go: The Lower Zambezi offers a river-based safari with canoeing, boating, fishing and walking, in a wild park with fewer visitors than the better-known Reserves. A Lower Zambezi canoe safari is relaxed, quiet and full of surprises, from hippos and crocodiles to elephants crossing the river. Keen anglers can also try tiger fishing. Explore the Lower Zambezi and our wider Zambia safari options.
Where and when: Lower Zambezi National Park, Zambia, in the dry season from May to October, when animals gather along the river. Many camps close for the wet months, so check opening dates early.
Where to stay: Royal Zambezi Lodge and Chongwe River House are on the Lower Zambezi. Chinzombo and Mchenja Camp are in South Luangwa, a short flight away, and work well as an extension for walking safaris and leopard viewing.
Specialist tip: Combine the Lower Zambezi with South Luangwa or Victoria Falls for a varied Zambia itinerary, as in our Classic Zambia route. Canoeing is led by guides who know where hippos are, so you stay at a safe distance.
South Africa's Private Reserves offer outstanding Big Five viewing with luxury, flexibility and expert tracking.
Why go: Private Reserves allow off-road driving, night drives and small-group safaris that are not possible in many National Parks, so sightings tend to be closer and less crowded. Many are unfenced from the Kruger, so wildlife moves freely. For a luxury safari in South Africa, see our most luxurious safari lodges in South Africa, the South Africa safari page and the best South Africa safaris. It is also the easiest safari to combine with Cape Town, the Winelands or the Garden Route.
Where and when: The Sabi Sands and neighbouring Reserves near the Kruger. The dry winter months, from April to October, are best for game viewing as vegetation thins and animals gather at water. Summer is greener and hotter, with birdlife and newborn animals.
Where to stay: Londolozi Founders Camp, Singita Boulders, Royal Malewane and Sabi Sabi Earth Lodge.
Specialist tip: Allow at least three nights so the guides and trackers have time to find the full Big Five. The quality of your guide and tracker team matters more than the size of the suite, so ask us about each camp's reputation. For a shorter option, see our 3-night safari in the Kruger.
Few sightings match a leopard stepping from a fallen log at dusk. Solitary and elusive, it is the animal many guests most want to see.
Why go: Leopard sightings are among the most consistent in the Sabi Sands Reserve, where experienced trackers and rangers know individual animals and follow them over days. Watching a leopard hunt, or a mother with her cubs, is a highlight many guests remember above all others. Our guide to the best places to see leopard compares the top destinations.
Where and when: Sabi Sands in South Africa is the classic choice. Sightings are possible year-round, with the dry season from May to October the most productive. Night drives add a different chance of seeing leopard on the hunt.
Where to stay: Leopard Hills and Lion Sands Ivory Lodge.
Specialist tip: Choose a lodge with a strong track record and a traversing area that includes riverine habitat, and book at least four nights to improve your chances. Bring a long lens if you photograph wildlife; see our wildlife photography tips.
Africa's greatest elephant concentrations gather along the Chobe River and around Hwange's waterholes in the dry season.
Why go: Large herds, close encounters at water and the choice of boat, vehicle or on foot make this one of the most rewarding wildlife experiences. Watching generations of elephants drink, bathe and play is as moving as it is photogenic. See the best places to see elephants in Africa, then explore Chobe National Park and Hwange.
Where and when: Chobe (Botswana) and Hwange (Zimbabwe), with peak elephant numbers from June to October as water becomes scarce. In Chobe, a river cruise at sunset offers some of the best photography angles, and in Hwange, waterhole hides allow you to watch quietly at close range.
Where to stay: Sanctuary Chobe Chilwero, Chobe Game Lodge, The Hide Safari Camp and Somalisa Camp.
Specialist tip: Pair Chobe and Hwange with Victoria Falls for an easy, high-impact itinerary; see the Falls and Hwange. Chobe is busier than Hwange, so choose a lodge away from the main riverfront if quiet matters to you.
Namibia's dunes, dry riverbeds and Atlantic coastline create some of the most dramatic safari scenery on the continent.
Why go: A Namibia safari is as much about landscape as wildlife. Expect towering red dunes, ancient rock art, desert-adapted elephants and other wildlife, and wide-open silence, as well as superb photography under some of the darkest night skies in Africa. Explore Sossusvlei, Damaraland and the Skeleton Coast, or read our Namibia safari guide.
Where and when: The cooler, dry months from April to October are the most comfortable for travel and wildlife viewing. Dawn and dusk are the best times for light and for dune photography.
Where to stay: Hoanib Skeleton Coast Camp, Damaraland Camp, Wolwedans and &Beyond Sossusvlei Desert Lodge.
Specialist tip: Distances are large, so use scenic flights between regions to save time, as in the best of Namibia itinerary, or choose a self-drive if you are comfortable with long gravel roads (see the grand Namibia self-drive). Pair Namibia with Botswana or Victoria Falls for greater wildlife variety.
Drifting over the plains at sunrise, followed by a champagne breakfast in the bush, is one of Africa's signature moments.
Why go: A hot air balloon safari gives a quiet, bird's-eye view of wildlife and is one of the best ways to appreciate the scale of the plains. Without an engine, you drift above herds of zebra, giraffe and wildebeest, then land for a breakfast served in the wild. Read our guide to hot-air balloon safaris.
Where and when: The Serengeti in Tanzania and the Masai Mara in Kenya, ideally in the dry months from June to October. Flights leave at dawn and last about an hour. Discover our Tanzania safari and Kenya safari options.
Where to stay: Serengeti Serena Safari Lodge, Saruni Mara and Cottars 1920s Camp.
Specialist tip: Balloon flights depend on the weather and are usually an optional extra, so build the flight into your itinerary early in the stay in case it has to be rescheduled. Check any age or mobility limits, and bring warm layers for the early start.
Some of the most meaningful safaris are those where your stay directly supports wildlife protection and local communities.
Why go: A conservation safari lets you see rhino, elephant and rare species while knowing your visit contributes to protection, research and community livelihoods. It is also often the most rewarding way to learn, with guides and conservationists who are happy to share what they do. Read about a rhino conservation safari at Kwandwe and how to ensure your safari supports wildlife conservation.
Where and when: Laikipia in Kenya, the Kalahari in South Africa and the Eastern Cape's Private Reserves. All are rewarding year-round. Lewa and Loisaba are known for rhino and conservation work, and Tswalu is among South Africa's largest Private Reserves, with a strong research focus.
Where to stay: Lewa Wilderness, Loisaba and Tswalu Kalahari.
Specialist tip: Ask each camp how it contributes to conservation and community, and what percentage of your fees stays in the local area. Look for lodges that employ and train local staff and support anti-poaching or community projects.
A safari can be a family's most memorable trip, especially in Reserves designed with children in mind.
Why go: A family safari in Africa works best where camps offer child-friendly activities, family suites and flexible dining, and where malaria is not a concern. Children's programmes, such as tracking and bush skills, keep younger guests engaged. See our family safari destinations, our guide to malaria-free safaris and our family experiences. The 3-night safari in the Eastern Cape is a popular malaria-free option.
Where and when: South Africa's Madikwe and the Eastern Cape are malaria-free and good all year. School holidays are busy and book out early, so plan well ahead.
Where to stay: Jamala Madikwe, Hlosi Game Lodge and Mwiba Lodge. Mwiba is in Tanzania, where malaria precautions apply, so take medical advice first.
Specialist tip: Age limits vary widely between camps, so check them before you book. See safari age limits explained and a guide to family safaris in Africa.
After early starts and long game drives, nothing beats a few days of rest on the coast. Combining a safari with a beach stay is one of the most popular ways to build a trip.
Why go: Safari and beach holidays give you the best of both worlds: wildlife and adventure first, then warm sea, white sand and unhurried days. Read our guide to safari and beach holidays and the best of both worlds. Options include safari and beach in South Africa, 12 reasons to choose beach and safari in Kenya and our Kenya safari and beach guide.
Where and when: Kenya and Tanzania pair the Masai Mara or Serengeti with the Indian Ocean coast and Zanzibar. Mozambique works well after a South African or Botswana safari. The dry months from June to October suit both the bush and the beach. East Africa's coast has long rains in April and May, so we avoid those months for beach stays.
Where to stay: Anantara Bazaruto, Baraza Resort and Spa and Serena Beach Resort and Spa.
Specialist tip: Put the beach at the end of the trip so you finish relaxed, and check the internal flight connections between the bush and the coast. For festive travel, see safari and beach at Christmas and New Year.
Few ways of travelling feel as timeless as a luxury train. Rolling through the landscape with a glass in hand, you see Africa at a slower pace.
Why go: An African luxury train combines fine dining, period-style suites and scenery that changes by the hour. Luxury train travel in South Africa is a trip in itself, and also works as a stylish way to link a safari with Cape Town or Pretoria. Discover our African luxury train journeys, the Blue Train, and a Rovos Rail visit, as well as our South Africa luxury rail journeys. Ask us about routes that include game viewing near Hwange. For a first-hand view, read the Blue Train with Herbert Prinsloo.
Where and when: South Africa's routes are popular from April to October, when the weather is dry and clear. Departures are limited, so book early.
Where to stay: The Blue Train and the Table Bay Hotel for a pre- or post-train stay in Cape Town.
Specialist tip: Pair the train with a Private Reserve safari at one end, and with Cape Town at the other for a complete South Africa itinerary. Allow a night in the city on either side so a delay never affects your onward flight.
Romance and wildlife are a natural pairing. A honeymoon safari combines privacy, space and unforgettable moments, from a candlelit dinner in the bush to a sundowner on the Zambezi.
Why go: A honeymoon safari in Africa offers intimate camps, private villas, spa treatments and the chance to share once-in-a-lifetime sightings. The right lodge makes all the difference, whether you prefer a river-view suite, a private pool or a cliff-top retreat. Browse our honeymoon safari in Africa page, then plan with your perfect honeymoon in Africa, find out which honeymoon suits you, explore 5 perfect villas and see 12 months of honeymoons. Looking at East Africa? See our Kenya honeymoons.
Where and when: Zambia, Tanzania and Kenya are favourites, often finished with a beach stay. The dry season from June to October is the most popular, but the green season offers quieter lodges and often better rates.
Where to stay: Chinzombo in South Luangwa, Tongabezi Lodge near Victoria Falls, Singita Sasakwa in the Serengeti and Lamai Serengeti.
Specialist tip: Remember to tell us you are on honeymoon when you book. Many lodges add special touches, and we can ask for the best room. Avoid packing in too many camps: three or four nights in each place leaves time to relax together.
If food is a priority, see our best safari lodges for foodies. For a slower, restorative trip, our article where the soul of Africa meets the art of wellbeing shows how to add spa and wellness time to your safari.
Every traveller wants something different from a safari. Use this table to shortlist by traveller type, then speak to our specialists to refine the choice.
Traveller type | Recommended experience | Country | Lodge |
First-timer | Big Five in a Private Reserve | South Africa | |
Honeymooners | Honeymoon safari | Zambia | |
Families | Family and malaria-free safaris | South Africa | |
Photographers | Great Migration | Tanzania / Kenya | |
Active travellers | Walking safari | Zimbabwe | |
Wellness seekers | Wild deserts: Namibia | Namibia |
The best time for a safari depends on the experience you choose. Wildlife concentrates around water in the dry season, while the green season brings lush scenery, newborn animals, fewer vehicles and often lower rates. Use this grid as a starting point, then see our best time to visit Africa month by month guide for detail.
Month | Great Migration | Gorillas | Okavango | Zambezi | Namibia |
Jan–Feb | Calving, southern Serengeti | Drier, good trekking | Green season, birdlife | Green season | Hot, quieter |
Mar–May | Herds move north, quieter | Wetter season | Rising flood | Camps reopen from May | Cooling, good value |
Jun–Aug | Western Serengeti, then Mara | Dry, peak demand | Flood peak, best water activities | Prime canoeing | Cool, dry, best viewing |
Sep–Oct | Mara River crossings | Dry, good trekking | Excellent game viewing | Hot, concentrated wildlife | Warming, still good |
Nov–Dec | Herds return south | Mixed, drier from Dec | Rains begin | Green season | Hot, first rains |
Expert insight: the shoulder months, such as late May, early June and November, often deliver the best balance of good wildlife, fewer visitors and better value. The low season is the new high season for travellers who are flexible. Always check specifics for your lodge. Further reading: our green season safari guide, the best time for Kenya and Tanzania and the best time to visit Botswana.
Planning an African safari for 2027 takes more lead time than most holidays, but a clear checklist keeps it simple. A specialist can handle the details, from lodge availability to internal flights.
Common mistakes to avoid: moving camp every night, underestimating internal transfer times, ignoring age limits, leaving gorilla permits until last, and travelling in the wrong month for the experience you want most.
Helpful guides: choosing a safari lodge, types of safari accommodation, what to pack, wildlife photography tips and travel insurance.
Not sure where to begin? These itineraries show how the experiences above fit together. We tailor every one to your dates, interests and budget.
A great safari is built on detail: which camp, which room, which guide, which month, and how you get from one place to the next. That is where a specialist makes the difference. Africa Travel has been planning African holidays for over 30 years, with offices in both the UK and South Africa, and our team is made up of people who were born in Africa, live there, or have been visiting and selling it for many years.

There is no single best safari experience in Africa, because the right choice depends on what you want to see and how you like to travel. The Great Migration, gorilla trekking and an Okavango Delta safari are the most iconic. A Big Five safari in a South African Private Reserve is the most reliable for first-timers. For something more active, try a walking safari or a canoe trip on the Lower Zambezi. Our guide to choosing your ideal safari destination helps you narrow it down.
Book as early as you can. The best safari lodges have only a few tents, and gorilla permits are limited. Camps in the Serengeti and Masai Mara fill first for the Great Migration season. For peak months (July to October), aim for 12 months or more ahead. For the green season, 6-9 months is often enough. Booking early also gives you the pick of rooms, guides and itineraries.
It depends on what you want to see. July to October is the best time for the dramatic Mara River crossings in Kenya and northern Tanzania. January to March is the best time for calving in the southern Serengeti, when thousands of newborn calves attract predators. The herds are on the move all year, so we match your camp to where they will be on your dates. See the best time for Kenya and Tanzania and how to see the Great Migration.
South Africa is an excellent starting point. Its Private Reserves offer reliable Big Five viewing, comfortable lodges and easy logistics, and many are malaria-free. You can also combine a safari with Cape Town or the Winelands. Kenya and Tanzania are the classic choice if you want the Great Migration, and Botswana is ideal if you want water-based safaris and fewer visitors. Read your first safari in Africa and our first-time safari page for more.
Allow at least 3 nights in one area to give yourself time to settle in and enjoy several game drives. Most travellers prefer 7-10 nights, which lets you combine two or three destinations, such as the Okavango Delta and Victoria Falls. Gorilla trekking usually needs 3-4 nights, and a longer trip makes sense if you want to add a beach or a city stay. Our sample itineraries show typical lengths.
Yes, when it is led by a qualified guide at a reputable camp. Walks are conducted in small groups, with an armed or highly-trained guide, and you will be given a safety briefing before you set out. Guides choose routes and read animal behaviour carefully. You will be asked to walk quietly in single file and follow instructions. Walking safaris are not suitable for very young children at most camps. See a typical day on a walking safari and our favourite walking safaris.
Several South African Reserves are malaria-free, including Madikwe and the Eastern Cape, which makes them popular for families. Some other areas have a lower risk at certain times of year, but this changes, so always check current advice with your doctor or travel clinic before you go. Many East and Southern African safaris are in malaria areas, and sensible precautions apply. See our malaria-free safari guide, malaria-free safari destinations and malaria and kids in East Africa.
The cost of a luxury safari varies widely with the camp, the season, the length of stay and the number of travellers. Costs are driven mainly by the lodge, the remoteness of the location, internal flights and the time of year, with peak months costing more than the green season. Park fees, permits and activities may also affect the total. Contact our specialists for a tailored quote based on your dates and preferences.
