Windhoek

The Namibian capital is the starting and ending point of all Namibia trips but more than just an overnight spot with some great hotels, bars and restaurants. The airport connects very well internationally.

Etosha

Namibia's top game viewing destination and a true 'big 5' experience. Aim for the dry season June-September if you want to see the iconic waterhole gatherings, wildlife can be seen all year round, it is just a bit harder to spot. Two nights should be a minimum here and the best access is by road, with light aircraft flights also available.


Available on request
We recommend 3 days

Cape Town

With so much to see and do in Cape Town, the only debate is how many nights to spend there (we recommend at least 3). Stunning geography, wonderful hotels, great local produce, and an exceptional local food scene make this one of the world's most visited cities. International and domestic flights connect the city very well.


Available on request
We recommend 2 days

Victoria Falls

One of the world's truly great natural spectacles and a fantastic way to start or end your Southern Africa trip. The Zimbabwean side of the Falls is renowned for activities from white water rafting to bungee jumping and people tend to stay closer to the town than on the Zambian side. The airport is an international hub and you can drive from Chobe.


Available on request
We recommend 3 days

Livingstone

On the Zambian side of the mighty Victoria Falls, the town itself has a great international airport hub. Our chosen lodges are located upstream, away from the tourists and surrounded by natural beauty. Aside from visiting the Falls, a sunset cruise is highly recommended. We suggest at least 3 nights here to start or end your safari in Botswana or Zambia.


Available on request
We recommend 2 days

Okavango Delta

In many people's eyes, this is Africa's premium game viewing destination and the world's most preserved area of natural beauty. There is an incredible amount of wildlife and a great array of activities on land and water. We recommend 3 nights at least and light aircraft flights from Maun connect the region.


Available on request
We recommend 3 days

Chobe National Park

Home to one of Africa's densest population of big game and a huge number of elephant. This is a great value safari option for Botswana, which typically tips the scales in terms of price. The very best time to visit is June-October for the famous elephant river sightings. You can get here by road from Victoria Falls or by light aircraft from other Botswana safari destinations.

We recommend 1 days

Johannesburg

Somewhere almost every trip to Southern Africa and an incredibly well-connected city. There are some really top options for an overnight and a bustling food & drink scene for those looking to let their hair down. Most people stay just one night but some of the top hotels are so good that two can also work well.


Available on request
We recommend 5 days

Mauritius

The beautiful island of Mauritius is a fantastic standalone holiday destination but also connects very well with Southern Africa with a direct flight to/from Johannesburg. There is a wide variety of hotel styles and the island is generally more economical than the Seychelles or the Maldives.


Available on request
We recommend 4 days

Mozambique Coast

A unique beach offering and one of our most popular destinations. With extremely easy access to Southern Africa, it combines perfectly with the Kruger for a one of a kind safari and beach trip. Some of the lodges can only be accessed by helicopter and we could spend weeks here. Culturally, there is a lot going on here and the local cuisine is exceptional.


Available on request
We recommend 3 days

Central Highlands

Located between Windhoek and Etosha, this stunning region offers endless rolling hills and great valleys that are home to Namibia's family-owned farms, ranches and the AfriCat Foundation. The area has a wonderful array of luxury lodges and guesthouses and is hallmarked by genuine Namibian hospitality (guests often share home-cooked meals with their hosts, or visit traditional Herero villages) making it the perfect base or stopover amidst your safari adventures.
