Safari Holidays with Elegant Resorts

There is nothing quite like the early morning anticipation of joining a game drive and venturing out into the midst of the African bushveld. The sights and sounds of the stirring wildlife, emerging sunrise, chorus of bird calls and deep bellows of hippopotamus, combined with the cooler morning air, create the most wonderful awakening! Whilst it is hard to leave your luxurious lodge, with its stylish modern comforts and sumptuous feasts, the call of the wild beats any more typical morning alarm clock and the raw adrenaline beats any shot of caffeine!

With experiences ranging from water-based safari camps in the lush Botswana, ancient desert sand dunes in Namibia, the vast open plains of Kenya and family-friendly adventures in Sabi Sands, South Africa, there is a wealth of wildlife and landscapes to discover throughout a luxury African safari. This stunning continent has so much to offer every kind of traveller, and we’re sure that any trip you choose to make here will be one you remember for the rest of your life.

As a luxury safari holiday provider, our extensive range of options can give you totally unique, award-winning safari experiences across a range of popular safari destinations. Specialist photography safaris enable guests to expertly capture the rich birdlife, whilst horse-riding or walking safaris allow closer than ever access to the game and elephant-back safaris offer a truly unique and tranquil perspective! For those seeking a richer experience, why not follow the Great Migration, meet the local Himba tribe in Namibia, take part in a conservation programme in one of the area’s nature reserves or visit an Endangered Species Centre?

From small luxury tented camps perfect for honeymooners, to larger malaria-free lodges tailored to families or even private homesteads for larger family groups or groups of friends, there is a safari experience suited to every traveller. Enjoy an action-packed morning game viewing, lounge by your plunge pool during the heat of the afternoon and dine under the magnificent skies by night. Enjoy a lively evening of traditional dancing in a boma or retreat to the privacy of your deck for a romantic candle-lit supper. Whether you choose communal dining experiences accompanied by colourful tales from your expert guide, or prefer to sleep out on a star bed under the brilliantly starry skies, you will be certain to fall in love with southern Africa.

Why not scroll down the page to take a look at our selection of our tailor-made tours in Africa, presenting a diverse selection of itineraries that are perfect for couples and families?
