From the great migration to the dunes, deltas and thundering falls of the south, we curate the corners of Africa most worth your time.
Maasai Mara, Amboseli, Samburu, Laikipia. Where the modern safari was born and still, arguably, does it best.
The Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Crater, the wild south. Vast, uncrowded, and the stage for the migration's grandest scenes.
Chimpanzees in Kibale, tree-climbing lions in Ishasha, source of the Nile — Uganda rewards the curious traveller.
An hour's trek through misted bamboo and you are among mountain gorillas. Refined, small-scale, quietly extraordinary.
South Luangwa and the Lower Zambezi — where the walking safari was invented and where guiding is quietly held to be the finest on the continent.
Victoria Falls, Mana Pools, Hwange. Extraordinary guides, low visitor numbers and one of the seven natural wonders of the world.
The Okavango Delta and the Kalahari — mokoro glides through papyrus channels, private concessions and Africa at its most exclusive.
Sossusvlei's red dunes, the ghost coast of the Skeleton, desert-adapted elephants of Damaraland — cinematic on a scale nowhere else can match.
Turquoise water, dhow sails, spice-scented lanes. The most natural coda to any East African journey.
