South Africa's world-renowned Kruger National Park is such a popular safari destination that we dedicate a whole host of safari packages solely to its wild wonders.
The Sabi Sand Private Game Reserve is included in various luxury tours, honeymoons, and fly-in safari packages offered by African Sky.
Okavango Delta safaris are exclusive fly-in experiences often combined with other Botswana destinations. It is one of the most storied safari areas in the world.

Etosha National Park is featured in both our private overland tour and luxury fly-in safari packages to Namibia. This arid wilderness area is truly unique and flush with wildlife.
Victoria Falls is one of the most popular safari destinations on the African continent, and with good reason. A visit to the falls is included in a wide variety of our itineraries.
Depending on the area and specific lodge or camp you visit, numerous safari activities will be conducted daily, either in the company of your African Sky guide or resident rangers and trackers. Below, we list the most common of these activities.
Game drives are the predominant safari activity in the private game reserves and national parks of Southern Africa. Two of these drives (typically two and a half to three hours) are customarily conducted daily: early morning, shortly after sunrise, and late afternoon. In some areas, the later afternoon drive extends into the early evening.
Bush Walks allow you to get up close to the wildlife in Africa accompanied by an armed ranger. After returning from the morning game drive and enjoying breakfast, most lodges and camps offer the opportunity to explore the wilderness on foot accompanied by an armed ranger. It provides a more intimate interaction with nature.
Water-based game viewing is one of the most popular safari activities in Botswana. You can also enjoy this type of wildlife interaction in Zambia. It typically involves game viewing from waterways, rivers, and lagoons on a traditional dugout canoe propelled by a ranger or a motorized boat excursion. Sunset cruises on the Chobe and Zambezi Rivers are an exceptional way to enjoy game viewing and savoring an African sunset.
In Southern Africa, avid birders will find abundant migrant and endemic bird species in grand natural settings. This activity can be enjoyed on all daily safari activities, as rangers will point out rare and more common bird species. If you intend to tick off a rare species like shoebill stork or Pell's fishing owl, your safari should be planned to a destination where they will likely be spotted.
Clear skies and low to no light pollution make the wilderness areas of Africa incredible stargazing locations. Casual stargazing can be enjoyed from all national parks and private reserves. If you want a more in-depth stargazing experience, mention this to your consultant. They will include camps and lodges in the itinerary that offer specialized equipment and employ knowledgeable astronomers.
Bush picnics are a delightful way of savoring immersion in nature while enjoying a meal in a pristine setting. Some lodges offer the opportunity to book picnics as a specific activity if you wish to enjoy a private picnic. Almost all lodges and camps will stop in a pristine spot for coffee and rusks on the morning game drive and drinks and snacks just before sunset on the afternoon game drive.
Lodges and camps of various comfort levels offer the ideal bases for exploring African conservation areas on daily safari activities. They lie in vast wilderness areas, conserved for generations to come. Accommodation levels range from basic but comfortable to some of the world's most luxurious.
From the planning stages to your departure from Africa, you are in the care of an experienced team that will make your journey hassle-free and enriching. In the case of a fly-in safari package, we offer expert advice and manage the logistics of your trip. If you book a private overland safari in South Africa or Namibia, one of our expert guides will accompany you on the adventure.
We just returned from the third trip planned by African Sky Safaris & Tours, which we postponed four years due to health and then COVID, which required them to rework the itinerary each year. This trip took us to two safari camps in Botswana and two in South Africa. The camps were luxurious, the guides were outstanding, and all the planning was perfect. This time, we saw several cheetahs in both countries for the first time, and, for the first time, a pack of wild dogs was playing in the grass. Our guides knew the area and also worked to find the white lions of South Africa and the black rhinos. We highly recommend African Sky Safaris & Tours.

The Big 5 arguably inspire the most awe amongst Africa's myriad wildlife, but there is much more to encounter. You could meet thousands of Cape fur seals at Cape Cross, marvel at choruses of birds across the continent, and view hippos and crocodiles in Africa's waterways. Get up close with the formidable great white shark, walk side by side with the world's fastest land mammal, and wonder at the abundance in this corner of the world.

Safaris to Namibia invariably start with a flight from Johannesburg or Cape Town to Windhoek or Walvisbay. From these centra, travel between various safari destinations can be overland or via light charter aircraft. The most sought-after safari areas are Etosha and the private reserves surrounding it and Sossusvlei, with most visitors also opting to spend a few nights in Swakopmund from where the Skeleton Coast and Namib Desert can be explored. Namibia is a vast country, and if you opt for overland travel between areas, you must be comfortable with long drives (Typically around five to seven hours) when traveling between areas.
Most of Botswana's prime safari destinations are in the country's north-eastern part. Access to these areas is via the airports in Maun and Kasane. Daily flights from Cape Town and Johannesburg in South Africa are available to these towns. Kasne can also be reached by transferring just over an hour from the airports in Livingstone(Zambia) and Victoria Falls(Zimbabwe).
Once in Botswana, light charter flights are required to reach the camps in the Okavango Delta, Makgadikgadi Pans, and Central Kalahari, as well as the central and southern parts of the Chobe National Park. The northern reaches of Chobe are accessible from the commercial airport in Kasane.
Zambia's top safari destination, the Victoria Falls, can be easily reached with daily commercial flights from Johannesburg and Cape Town to the town of Livingstone, which is adjacent to the falls. The other popular conservation areas (South Luangwa, Lower Zambezi, and Kafue) will require a flight to Lusaka, the capital of Zambia, and from there, an onward light charter flight to the area you will be visiting.
Victoria Falls is near the mighty Falls, which it is named after. It can be easily reached on daily commercial flights from Cape Town and Johannesburg. The Matetsi wilderness area and the northern parts of Hwange National Park are accessible by road from Victoria Falls, which is a drive of one to two hours. However, a light charter flight will be necessary if you intend to book a safari to Mana Pools National Park.
Southern Mozambique can be accessed overland from South Africa through the border post between Kosi Bay and Ponta da Ouro in northern KwaZulu Natal and the Komatipoort Border Post in Mphumalanga Province. Daily Flights are also available between Johannesburg and Maputo.
The beaches of central Mozambique are accessed from the airport in Vilanculos. It is also the best way to reach the Bazuroto Archipelago, with its islands and pristine beaches. Flights to Vilanculos depart from Johannesburg.
If you intend to visit the beaches of northern Mozambique or the Quirimbas Archipelago, flying to Pemba from Johannesburg is the best option.
