Safari Holidays

Safaris in Kenya are fully focused on wildlife. As the quintessential safari destination and the birthplace of the safari holiday, Kenya is likely your opportunity to see the Big 5. The Masai Mara is probably the highlight of the holiday, known for its wide open plains and outstanding big-cat populations, and the Ol Pejeta Conservancy offers great game drive conditions with a strong focus on conservation, especially rhino protection projects. Days follow a similar pattern, with early morning and late afternoon game drives to maximise viewing when wildlife is most active.

On Llama Travel safaris, group sizes are limited to 6 people, meaning that your game drive vehicle will have window seats for every passenger.

Botswana is possibly Africa's finest safari destination. The Okavango Delta, a unique inland delta that attracts large numbers of animals and offers consistently rewarding game viewing, often with fewer crowds than other destinations, is the highlight. A mobile safari is the most immersive type of safari; rather than a lodge, en-suite tents move through prime areas like Moremi and Mababe, often in unfenced areas of the bush where wildlife can roam freely. Early morning game drives hope to optimise viewing opportunities when animals are most active, with another late afternoon drive to round out the day before a three-course meal around the campfire.

South Africa offers varied safari experiences, combining Big 5 game viewing potential with diverse landscapes, lively cities and excellent food and wine. A safari in the Kruger Reserve is a classic way to experience African wildlife, staying in a comfortable lodge as your base for early morning and afternoon game drives in open vehicles. Our Kruger safaris combine with time in Cape Town, the Cape Winelands and the Garden Route, adding a greater balance between wildlife and scenery and culture during your holiday.

Namibia offers a very different kind of safari experience, combining great wildlife spotting with some of Africa's most dramatic landscapes. Travelling overland, you journey through Etosha National Park, Damaraland, Sossusvlei, and along the Skeleton Coast, staying in comfortable accommodation along the way. Covering over 1,200 miles, this is one of Africa's great road trips. Days combine wildlife and landscapes, with game drives to spot elephants, lions, leopards and rhinos, plus time among the dunes and desert scenery.
