Top Safari Destinations in Africa
With Mtembezi African Safaris & Vacations, your private safari African tours take you deep into the most iconic and diverse destinations on the continent. Whether it’s gorilla trekking in Uganda, witnessing the Great Migration in Kenya and Tanzania, or photographing elephants in Botswana’s Okavango Delta, our expertly designed itineraries ensure that your journey is rich with wildlife, scenery, and culture.
-
Uganda & Rwanda: These neighboring countries are home to mountain gorillas and rainforest safaris. Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is a UNESCO site “home to almost half of the world’s mountain gorilla population,”. Guided treks in Bwindi (and Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park) offer close, safe encounters with gorilla families. Gorilla numbers have risen substantially – from 620 (1998) to over 1,063 today, thanks to conservation through tourism. We include cultural experiences (visiting the Batwa community project
-
Kenya & Tanzania: Kenya’s famed Maasai Mara and Tanzania’s Serengeti ecosystems on a private safari for African tours during the annual wildebeest migration. UNESCO recognizes the Mara-Serengeti wildebeest migration as “one of the Seven Wonders of the World,” with over a million animals crossing each year. Amboseli NP (Kenya) is renowned for its elephant herds with Mt. Kilimanjaro views, and Ngorongoro Crater (Tanzania) offers unbelievable Big Five sightings in a single day. These parks host the densest wildlife concentrations on Earth, especially during migration, and we craft private game drives to maximize every encounter.
-
South Africa & Botswana: South Africa’s Kruger National Park and adjacent private reserves boast Africa’s richest wildlife. In fact, “all the Big Five animals are found at Kruger,” which has more large mammal species (147) than any other African reserve. Luxury lodges here range from tented camps to safari villas, and our safaris can include guided walks, night drives, and even malaria prophylaxis. Botswana’s Okavango Delta is a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its dramatic floods. Seasonal swells turn dry plains into lakes, so the delta “swells to three times its permanent size, attracting animals from kilometres around and creating one of Africa’s greatest concentrations of wildlife”. We offer classic mobile safaris and lodge-based safaris in Okavango, where you’ll see elephants, hippos, buffalo, and more amid the floodwaters.
- Namibia & Mozambique: Namibia’s Etosha National Park features a massive salt pan attracting wildlife year-round. UNESCO notes its grasslands “supporting vast herds of giraffes, zebras, blue wildebeest, oryx, springbok, and one of the largest populations of black rhino in the world”. Private concessions around Etosha and in the Namib Desert (for mountain lions and rhinos) provide off-the-beaten-path options. In Mozambique, we explore Gorongosa National Park – a dramatic restoration story. After the civil war decimated wildlife, an African Development Bank initiative (with the EU and IUCN) rebuilt Gorongosa’s infrastructure and restored its wildlife. Today, it’s a thriving park with lions, elephants, wild dogs, and rare antelopes; conservation-focused tourism here helps rebuild local communities.
All-Inclusive Private Safari Packages
We offer comprehensive private packages that cover all the details of your trip. As it’s noted, an “all-inclusive safari” typically covers lodging, meals, drinks, and daily activities, meaning you won’t be handling cash or hidden fees during your vacation. For example, most lodging options include daily game drives, park fees, and all meals and beverages. Laundry service, wi-fi, and basic toiletries are also almost always included. You can add optional extras (like hot-air ballooning or walking safaris) on top of your base itinerary. Many of our favorite camps are among the world’s most luxurious: private plunge pools, decadent décor, and world-class chefs are standard in your stay. In short, your private safari package can be fully customized. Just let us know your interests, and we’ll arrange the rest.
Last-Minute Safari Deals
Flexible travelers can take advantage of special savings. Safari seasonality and cancellations mean “almost always [is] space in the top camps” during off-peak times. We constantly monitor availability and can offer last-minute safari deals when plans change. These often include complimentary nights or discounted rates for trips departing in the next few months. For example, a December or June safari might be 10–20% cheaper if a lodge has an unfilled room. If you have a flexible schedule, ask about late-season offers. Many clients have snagged unexpected free nights or special perks by booking a few weeks in advance.
Expert Guides & Safety Standards
Your safety and satisfaction are our top priorities. We work with licensed, highly experienced guides who are experts in wildlife behavior and first aid. All guides undergo professional training (national certifications and ongoing field experience) to ensure safe, informative game drives. Vehicles are well-maintained 4×4 safari jeeps with open sides for excellent viewing. We follow all park safety protocols – for instance, you stay in the vehicle during sightings and keep distance from predators – and use reliable communications (GPS/radio) in all areas. Health and travel safety are also emphasized: the U.S. CDC advises avoiding nighttime driving in rural Africa due to poor road conditions, so our transfers between parks are scheduled for daylight only. Resorts have secure perimeters, and safari camps enforce strict wildlife viewing rules. Many of our guests are traveling with children or alone, and they consistently report feeling well-cared-for on our tours.
Ethical & Sustainable Safari Travel
Responsible tourism is woven into every safari we design. We partner with operators who give back, for example, gorilla trekking fees in Rwanda now channel 10% of revenue back to local communities. This community support has helped parks succeed: locals now “look at parks as part of their heritage, and hence contribute to their survival”, which has helped gorilla populations recover. In Kenya, we support initiatives like the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, where tourists fund elephant orphan rehabilitation. Tourists never ride or handle those elephants, as the trust strictly prohibits interactions that could harm the animals. We also refuse partnerships with unethical attractions (no cub-petting, no canned hunts). In short, our safaris promote conservation: UNESCO reports that gorilla tourism has even led to a species’ status being downgraded from “critically endangered” to “endangered” due to population growth. When you travel with us, you’re supporting these positive outcomes.
