Kruger National Park and the adjoining private reserves of Greater Kruger National Park form one of Africa's finest wildlife areas, offering superb viewing opportunities all year round. In one of the first national parks to be established in Africa, the custodians of Kruger faced tragedy, triumph and hardship, as they have strived to protect a pristine wilderness region that is sanctuary to over 700 species of mammals, reptiles and birds. Our safari is conducted by a professional guide, who works in conjunction with the specialist local guides of Timbavati Private Reserve. After a night in Johannesburg we set out for Greater Kruger National Park using an air-conditioned microbus. Once we reach camp all game drives are conducted in open 4WD vehicles. We spend three nights in a private game lodge in Timbavati Game Reserve, part of Greater Kruger National Park, which boasts a similar range of animals to those found in the park proper. These include the 'Big Five', but the private reserves offer more opportunities for varied and close-up encounters. With the open 4WD vehicles and a maximum of nine people in each, there is ample space to observe the many different species as they interact with each other and their environment.

Madagascar is one of those destinations that seem to conjure up a thousand images just upon hearing the name alone. It is exotic and little-known - an island filled with strange and exciting flora and fauna. It is truly a land of exotic landscapes with diverse features and astounding natural beauty. From the craggy eroded sandstone sculptures of Isalo National Park and the stunning coastline of the west to the rolling hills of the south and the seemingly pre-historic forests of the dramatic Tsaranoro Valley, Madagascar's beauty is certainly inspiring. Being cut off from the African mainland for millions of years has resulted in a diverse number of endemic species found nowhere else on earth. Of these, the lemurs have attracted special interest and we get to meet many different types, from the indri (the largest species) of Anjozorobe Forest to the dancing Verreaux's sifaka of Berenty Reserve. Encountering these amazing primates is a real highlight, as their inquisitive personalities, sheer cunningness and striking markings are sure to provide many endearing memories. Madagascar is also rich in bird life with many endemic species and there are also several unique reptile species, including the amazing chameleon. We also visit villages and remote communities, with a kaleidoscope of 18 million people and 18 distinct tribal groups ensuring many rich and varied cultural experiences. Although Madagascar is a relatively new tourism destination, the Malagasy people are warm and friendly and live harmoniously in their island paradise. One of the most memorable aspects of travelling to Madagascar is the relaxed pace and the real lack of haste that seems to be part of day-to-day life of the Malagasy people. This is one holiday experience that is sure to be etched in your memory -

Highlights of Kenya and Tanzania
from $5,980*
HIGHLIGHTS: Nairobi - Meru National Park - Nakuru - Lake Nakuru National Park - Masai Mara - Arusha - Lake Manyara National Park - Serengeti National Park - Olduvai Gorge - Ngorongoro Crater - Tarangire National Park This is East Africa's premier safari experience Utilising lodges and two alluring permanent tented camps, this journey features two of Africa's most prolific and spectacular wildlife countries. In Nakuru we are also able to support the incredible Ujima Foundation, which is giving many impoverished locals an opportunity to develop certain skills that will give them a better chance in life. In Kenya we explore the Masai Mara and Meru National Park, as well as visit the alkaline Lake Nakuru. Kenya's game reserves are among the best in the world, with large quantities of animals inhabiting vast tracts of land. The ecosystems, landscapes and wildlife highlight the diversity of this region and our guide will be happy to explain to us all the intricacies of this fascinating area. Our beautiful tented camp on the outskirts of Masai Mara National Reserve also affords opportunities for a game walk and a night drive, in addition to the traditional full day game drive in 'the Mara' itself. Tanzania boasts some of the most impressive national parks in Africa, containing some of the best collection of wildlife in the entire continent. We visit Lake Manyara National Park, Serengeti National Park and Tarangire National Park, as well as the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and Ngorongoro Crater. Tanzania boasts some of the most impressive national parks in Africa, containing some of the best range of wildlife on the entire continent. We visit Lake Manyara National Park, one of many such soda lakes in East Africa's Great Rift Valley, for our first game drive from our base at an incredible lodge overlooking the lake. From Lake Manyara we travel through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and into the bordering Serengeti National Park. This is the quintessential Africa, where wide open plains stretch as far as the eye can see, supporting vast numbers of plains animals, including over two million wildebeest. We also pay a visit to the world-renowned Ngorongoro Crater. Just 20 kilometres wide, the crater floor teems with vast quantities of animals, including elephant, lion, cheetah and black rhino. The park is truly a mini Garden of Eden. We will explore the crater from our lodge, which is spectacularly perched on the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater. From Ngorongoro we travel to our final national park, Tarangire National Park, which has a wildlife concentration second only to the Ngorongoro Crater. -
from $6,175*
The dramatic landscape of Table Mountain, as it is towers over the great cosmopolitan city of Cape Town, is one of the most striking views you'll encounter on the continent. From this impressive introduction we travel north through the verdant hills of Cederberg and the arid, rocky panorama of the Northern Cape to Namibia. Namibia is one of the great surprises of southern Africa, boasting some of the most spectacular and breathtaking desert scenery on earth. The great sand dunes of the Namib Desert, which rear over 300 metres above the desert floor, are a sight never to be forgotten. When one adds some of the world's most weird and wonderful vegetation, the wild Atlantic coast and the famous rock etchings of Twyfelfontein, it all results in a destination of unparalleled diversity. And as no visit to Africa is complete without viewing wildlife, the famous Etosha National Park provides the perfect opportunity to encounter a great array of animal and bird life, the equal of any in Africa. When you combine all of this with a visit to an area containing arguably the most amazing wetlands in the world, namely the wonderful Okavango Delta in neighbouring Botswana, the result is an expedition of extraordinary diversity. The Okavango boasts delightful water-based scenery, often in total contrast to the dry and arid lands which surround it, along with some quite exceptional birding - you don't have to be an enthusiast to be soon enthralled - and the opportunity to see much of the wildlife which Africa is so justifiably famous for. To complete this magical safari we travel to Livingstone in Zambia to view the spectacular Victoria Falls or 'Mosi-oa-Tunya' as it is locally known, meaning 'The Smoke That Thunders'. -
Kilimanjaro Climb & Tanzania Safari
from $6,195*
Mount Kilimanjaro is the tallest mountain in Africa. It lies close to the equator, yet snow, ice and glaciers are to be found on its highest slopes. Soaring to the impressive altitude of 5895 metres (19,350 feet), it provides incredible views of hundreds of square kilometres of surrounding countryside - thousands of feet below - as well as of the mountain peaks, valleys and glaciers around you. The walk to the summit takes you through a number of distinctly different climatic and vegetation zones - from beautiful rainforest, to alpine moorland, to volcanic desert, to glaciers, ice and snow. Even if you do not make it to the top, the scenic interest and rewards of the lower sections are considerable. No mountaineering experience is required; you are able to walk all the way. As you gain altitude, however, the going will seem tough at times - the increasing effect of altitude, and walking on scree slopes on the upper sections, mean that this is a far-from-easy undertaking. In addition, very cold conditions can be encountered on the higher slopes, and you must be adequately equipped with cold and wet weather clothing. However, if you walk slowly, even from the start at lower altitudes, have a good mental attitude and a reasonable degree of physical fitness, this will all help immeasurably. You will be accompanied by guides, and porters will help to carry your luggage. On the way up your nights are spent in tents, on the Machame route; however on the descent you join the Mweka route, spending one night in this area (but still using our own tents). The thrill of reaching the summit of Kilimanjaro gives one an unsurpassed sense of achievement. The Machame Route is a day longer than the standard trail - and we have added a further day to the standard itinerary - this provides important additional time for acclimatisation and may well increase your chances of summiting. After your climb you head out on safari staying in beautifully appointed, permanent tented camps. We game drive at picturesque Lake Manyara enroute to the world-renowned Ngorongoro Crater. Just 20 kilometres wide, the crater floor teems with vast quantities of game, including elephant, lion, cheetah and black rhino. From Ngorongoro Crater we head into the Serengeti National Park. This is quintessential Africa, where wide open plains stretch as far as the imagination, and beyond, supporting vast numbers of plains game, including over two million wildebeest. A visit to the Serengeti ranks as one of the major highlights in all of Africa. This trip is truly the ultimate challenge, followed by the ultimate reward -

This superb two week safari takes us into some of the most undiscovered and prolific wildlife sanctuaries in all of Africa. We begin our journey with a visit to Victoria Falls (known as 'The Smoke That Thunders') before heading north to Zambia's premier game parks. We use flights throughout this safari adventure allowing us more time to enjoy the vast amount of wildlife in the different regions we explore. Spending six days in the National Parks of Kafue and South Luangwa ensures an incredible wealth of wildlife experiences. The parks are home to many species that are rarely seen in other parts of Africa, including the beautiful roan antelope and the majestic sable antelope. Their remote locations coupled with our use of intimate lodging ensures surprising and rewarding encounters. Botswana, a diverse country rich in culture and spectacular scenery, is home to the famous pristine natural wonderland of the Okavango Delta. Four nights in permanent camps situated in the heart of the game-rich Moremi Reserve and deep within the Delta, provide excellent bases for exploring the delta wetlands by 'mokoro' and the Khwai River region in open safari vehicles. Add to this Chobe National Park, with its immense elephant population and magnificent sunsets, and you have a truly classic adventure -
