Morning and afternoon game drives are the bread and butter of a Masai Mara safari, and all-day expeditions are common especially during the Great Migration. There’s usually a bush breakfast under a shady tree or a mobile sundowner bar to complete the experience too. Specific to the private Mara Conservancies are walking safaris and night drives, both allowing you to get to grips with the landscape in different ways. In specific locations, early-morning hot air balloon flights are possible – definitely worth booking in advance – as are horseback safaris for varying capabilities. Finally, many camps have partnerships with local Maasai communities for a chance to join them in their daily life.

Victoria Falls, straddling the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia, is one of the largest and most awe-inspiring waterfalls in the world. Known locally as "Mosi-oa-Tunya" or "The Smoke that Thunders," the falls cascade down a height of over 100 meters, creating a breathtaking mist that can be seen from miles away. Visitors can explore the surrounding rainforest, take a scenic helicopter flight, or experience the thrill of white-water rafting on the Zambezi River, making it a must-visit destination for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike.

Chobe is located in the northeastern corner of Botswana, where four countries—Botswana, Namibia, Zambia, and Zimbabwe—meet. It’s home to the iconic Chobe National Park, one of the richest ecosystems in Southern Africa and world-renowned for its large elephant population, estimated to be over 120,000. The park stretches from the floodplains of the Chobe River, which forms a natural border with Namibia, down through riverine forests, grasslands, and dense woodlands. Its proximity to Victoria Falls (just over an hour away by road) makes it a perfect and easy extension to a safari adventure, offering a seamless blend of river and land-based game viewing in a truly spectacular setting.
