If your family has an excessively long list of wild animals they would like to see, then a Botswana safari holiday is an unbeatable choice for your next adventure.

Botswana’s diverse landscapes make ideal habitats for every furred, feathered, scaled and tailed creature, starting with the Big Five.

Some of the parks even hand out irresistible illustrated wildlife, reptile, and birdlife ‘checklists’. With more than 570 species of birds found in Botswana, this is a handy distraction tool for little ones.

The herbivores come to each water source in droves; everything from elephants, buffalos, impalas, pukus, zebras, and giraffes. As for predators, lion, cheetah, and leopard are just the start.

Botswana also has one of the few remaining large populations of the endangered African wild dog, and you may even spot a rare brown hyena, a black-maned lion, or the elusive honey badger in drier areas.

Botswana is renowned for its exclusive camps and lodges, which are often found hidden within their own private game concessions.

This privacy translates into exclusive safari experiences such as night drives, walking safaris, horseback safaris, and hot-air balloon safaris.

However, lodges and camps can also be found in the main National Parks, and wildlife viewing from this range of mobile camps and larger luxury lodges is consistently brilliant. Whether you’re hoping for a private plunge pool or a chance to camp out under the stars, Botswana has you covered.

Kenya’s most famous national park is the Masai Mara, and with good reason. The volume of wildlife found here is unrivalled anywhere in Africa, with the exception of the Serengeti, in neighbouring Tanzania. The main reserve is complemented by adjoining private conservancies, which allow for the same epic experience, but in a more private setting.

Kenya is also home to many equally magnificent, but less well-known safari destinations. Your tailor-made tour highlights could include Lewa and Laikipia in the north, famed for industry-leading conservation successes. We’re also big fans of the scenic Rift Valley Lakes, and the remote wilds of Samburu.

Following an adventure in the wild, stunning stretches of coastline and a world of aquatic exploration await. It’s all here, encompassed in one country. Truly, a one-stop shop for one of the greatest safari tours imaginable.

Kenya has a bounty of accommodation options, designed to suit every taste. Creative camps and lodges draw on the elements around them, offering a diversity not found anywhere else. Breakfast with giraffes in an old Manor House, stay ‘on top of the world‘ overlooking the Masai Mara, or travel back in time to the birth of safari, with some 1920s hospitality.
