We offer safari packages to the top wilderness areas in Southern Africa. These destinations offer bewitching landscapes, as bare and breathtaking as the Namibia's desolate dune sea and as lush and ample as the drenched drama of the Okavango Delta. Wherever you choose to roam, with African Sky, it is sure to be magical.
Kruger Park The Kruger National Park is such a popular safari destination that we dedicate a whole host of safari packages solely to its wild wonders.
Sabi Sand Sabi Sand features in a wealth of our packages, from Greater Kruger Park safaris to longer safaris that combine Africa's premier conservation areas.
Okavango Delta Okavango Delta safaris are exclusively luxury fly-in experiences, and are often combined with other safari areas in Botswana.
Chobe National Park One of Botswana's largest national parks, Chobe can be conveniently accessed via the nearby town of Kasane or even Victoria Falls.
Etosha National Park Etosha National Park is included in both our private overland and luxury fly-in safaris that visit Namibia. This arid wilderness area is truly unique.
Victoria Falls Victoria Falls is one of the most popular safari destinations on the continent, and with good reason. The Falls feature in a wide variety of our safaris.
The Big Five arguably inspire the most awe amongst Africa's myriad wildlife, but there is so much more to encounter. Meet thousands of Cape fur seals at Cape Cross, marvel at choruses of birds across the continent, spy the hippos and crocodiles of 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 this corner of the world that has been blessed in abundance.
African safari activities are designed to maximize not only game viewing, but your immersion into the wilderness. This is why many safari lodges and camps offer more than just your standard game drive. However, regardless of the variety of activities available, quality should always supersede quantity. Though the Big Five certainly reign supreme and offer exhilarating encounters, the safari experience has much more to offer the avid nature enthusiast. The variety of activities is thus more about diversifying your experience rather than increasing the number of sightings on your list.
An open 4x4 game drive serves as the quintessential African safari experience. This activity has its origins in the early days of the Kruger National Park, when the first visitors to the park would view wildlife from the comfort of a steam train. Today, your game drives are conducted from the back of open-air 4x4 safari vehicles or closed air-conditioned vehicles. These excursions typically take place in the early morning hours or late afternoon, when the animals are at their most active.
Of all the countries we offer safaris to, Botswana is certainly most notable for its many opportunities for water-based game viewing. In fact, select
camps in the Okavango Delta offer exclusively water-based safaris in traditional mokoro canoes (or fiberglass replicas). Gliding quietly along the emerald waterways of the delta is simultaneously tranquil and thrilling. Guests are always accompanied by experienced guides to ensure their safety.
When enjoying a safari in Africa, there is no better way to dig your heels into nature than pursuing a tracker and guide into the bush. With only the experienced knowledge of an armed ranger between you and the thrilling perils of the wild, a bush walk can prove both an exciting and relaxing part of your safari holiday. Bush walks are typically conducted in the early morning or afternoon with groups of up to 8 people.
Southern Africa is truly a birder's paradise. The Kruger National Park alone is home to around 500 species of birds, including migrants and vagrants. South Africa totals more than 829 species - the most in Southern Africa - while Zambia comes in second at 770. Botswana, surprisingly, hosts the least, but its unique landscapes like the Makgadikgadi Pans and the Okavango Delta draw magical proliferations of waterbirds in the wet season.
In addition to game viewing, there are a handful of other unique avenues to connect to the wilderness around you. This could take the form of interacting with wildlife, making intimate discoveries, an exhilarating adrenalin rush or passive immersion in an awe-inspiring setting.
