Family African Safaris

Family African Safaris are the most precious thing one can hope to achieve! Those moments spent with your family, that you will cherish forever.

I take my family on safari each year – which is important to me, as I come from Africa. Have a look at this video to give you some idea of what we can offer!

 

Luxury Safaris South Africa

South Africa lends itself to about the most luxurious safaris in southern Africa. The accommodation on offer tends to be streets ahead of its African counterparts – take Singita for an example. Apart from Tanzania, where they also operate, this is the highest level of luxury one can hope to experience on safari in Africa. The most luxurious accommodation, accompanied by the finest and most experienced of guides and finally, amazing wildlife encounters in the Sabi Sands region in the Kruger National Park.

Royal Malewane is another example, where Sir Elton John visits on an annual basis. These are not cheap, but no proper safari is – however, if its the very best that you are after, then these two places are your answer.  For the finest luxury safaris South Africa, look no further than our 22 years of expertise, with specialists from South Africa who will guide you along the path of a safari of a lifetime!

Mozambique Beach Holidays

Mozambique Beach Holidays are completely spoiling. For starters, you have islands in the north in the Quirimbas archipelago completely to yourselves which is simply wonderful. The lodges in the south, which form part of the Bazaruto archipelago are uncrowded and pristine. In addition, one can still feel a part of Mozambique life, watching the fishermen all depart in their wooden canoes and their wives and children playing on the sandy beaches, or waiting for their return at sunset.

Accommodation at these lodges in Mozambique offers extraordinary comfort and luxury at many, whilst others offer a more Robinson Crusoe experience. There is also some of the finest scuba diving to be had here, with completely unbleached coral. The fishing is excellent too!

One can also hire a yacht for the day or a couple of days which is a wonderful way to explore this coastline.

Whatever you decide to do, you wont regret it – Mozambique offers the perfect beach holiday – comfort, space, quality and powder white beaches. Simply bliss!

African Safari Tanzania

There is nothing quite like an African Safari in Tanzania. Tanzania offers the most concentrated wildlife in Africa – more so than even Kenya. You have the great wildebeest migration which migrates in search of water and fresh grass, with a huge amount of predators following them in their wake. This occurs in the Serengeti.

There is always wonderful wildlife in Tarangire and there are other parks which rate amongst our favourites, in southern Tanzania. These are Ruaha, Selous and Katavi. One can either stay at a luxury tented camp or lodge, or have a private mobile tented camp erected with a private guide and vehicle to allow complete flexibility. Tanzania still offfers a more ‘raw’ and genuine African experience, with the perfect combination of the most amazing wildlife, with tremendous culture as well as awe inspiring scenery. One can also do walking safaris in Tanzania – for a day to several days, fly camping en route, but no hardships are borne. Comfortable bedrolls, wonderful food cooked over an open fire for you – and having a park practically to yourself, is a wonderful thing!

Horse Trekking in Africa

Horse trekking in Africa is our favourite way of being on safari!

We simply love riding in Botswana – and for those who like quite a fast ride, there is nothing quite like riding in the Kalahari desert, across the salt pans, with the most amazing scenery you could possibly imagine.

You have your sensational guide, David Foot – who is one of Africa’s best guides and good company, too. You stay at a wonderful camp in the Makgadikgadi and then you can either extend your time canoeing north of the Okavango Delta, still with David as your guide, or if you haven’t had your fill of riding yet, you can extend the ride in the Okavango Delta. This is the greatest amount of fun and the some of the most beautiful scenery you will ever see in Africa – coupled with excellent and well schooled horses.

Holidays Malawi

Malawi is one of our favourite countries for so many reasons – firstly, the people. Very few countries in Africa will accord you this sort of hospitality and friendliness – they really are wonderful. The markets are a real joy and a must to visit, too!

Holidays Malawi with AfricanExplorations.com

This is a country of great diversity too – the lush heather of the Nyika plateau, dotted with wildlife and magnificent flowers and views to die for and now they are offering horse riding again. There is tremendous walking here and the big 5 have also been introduced to the Majete wildlife region.

The lake has always been a big draw, with a handful of gorgeous lodges in breathtaking locations and sailing on a private catamaran, too. There is tremendous kayaking too.

Whatever your interests, holidays malawi will always offer something for you!

Madagascar Safari

One normally thinks of Africa when talking about going on safari, but in fact,  a Madagascar Safari is something very special too – simply different!

Here, one is looking for lemurs (over 70 different species including sifakas), fossas (a cat- like, carnivorous animal) and then we start looking at the smaller species, such as a multitude of chameleons, brightly coloured frogs, moths and butterflies and of course, amazing birdlife. It is like stepping into a biology lesson, with wall to wall interest!

Perinet and Mantadia are wonderful areas to go on safari and this can be added to the coast which is simply sublime – with great boutique lodges, Robinson Crusoe style resorts and catamaran boats to charter that can take you island hopping. Do consider Madagascar as an alternative – you will be sorry if you don’t!

Family Safari South Africa

South Africa is the most amazing country for a family safari. I should know – as it is my home and where I take my own children each year to visit their grandparents!

What South Africa offers is a very real, child friendly experience – either in game rich regions such as the Sabi Sands where they even have the opportunity to become a junior game ranger, or even simply stay at a lodge in one of the most game rich regions in the Kruger which offers a special children’s programme – or – if your children are very young – then you might want to select a non malarial region in South Africa. We have a wonderful selection of non malarial lodges which are wonderful for children – and again, we have worked together with the lodges to create special children’s ranger programmes – some give them rucksacks and they learn to identify tracks and trails, as well as learning about the local mythology and the medicinal properties of plants and trees.
