Where to go on safari.

Kruger National Park

South Africa

Classic Big Five at every budget

โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜… โ€œSara was absolutely amazing to work with. She created five different itinerary options for us to choose from based on the criteria and budget I provided for our family trip to Kruger National Park. What I appreciated most was how willing she was to connect over WhatsApp to really understand what we were looking for. After our call, she worked incredibly fast and sent all the options the very next day. Every itinerary included exactly what we asked for and stayed within our budget. Her service, attention to detail, and genuine care made the entire process stress-free. I honestly didnโ€™t even know where to start planning this trip, so her help was enormous. Thanks to Sara, not only did we find the perfect safari package, but we also booked our flights as well. Thank you, Sara, for the excellent service and support โ€” we truly appreciate everything you did for us!โ€ โ€” Ayako Pieters, Trustpilot

Cape Town

South Africa

Mountain, ocean and winelands to bookend a safari

โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜… โ€œWe had a great experience with Safari.com. They quickly arranged our itinerary for our trip in the Cape Town area to our wishes. Communications with Denise through whatsapp were most efficient. Two thumbs up!โ€ โ€” Paul Parren, Trustpilot

Where to start

Two halves of a continent.

Southern Africa

Polished lodges, malaria-free options, and reliable Big Five viewing. The Sabi Sands and Kruger for first-time safaris, Botswana's Okavango Delta for game viewing by mokoro and boat, and Cape Town and the winelands to bookend a trip. At its best in the dry winter months, May to October.

East Africa

Vast open plains and the Great Migration. The Masai Mara and Serengeti deliver classic big-cat country and the river crossings, and both pair naturally with beach time on Zanzibar or the Kenyan coast. Migration timing moves through the year, so the month you travel matters.

โ€œI cannot recommend Anja Meyer at Safari.com enough. This is our 3rd trip in 2 years that we have planned with Anja and we cannot imagine using any other travel planner. As travelers who deliberately seek experiences that go beyond the expected, and a bit of luxury that feels authentic, every single trip that we have booked with Anya has been a complex, multi country itinerary- we are definitely not easy to plan for. What sets Anja apart from other travel planners (and we have used several planners from top agencies) is her ability to partner with us and truly understand our preferences, pace and unspoken/ unwritten requirements. We would be remiss if we didn't mention her work ethic - she is incredibly responsive despite major time differences (I don't think she sleeps :) ). The results are always extraordinary journeys that feel very tailored to us. This most recent trip planned with Anja will take us across Namibia, Botswana and Mauritius - we can't wait!!โ€

She knew the area very well and was able to suggest alternatives when we needed to move things around. Looking forward to a wonderful African adventure!โ€

I asked an abundant of questions throughout the process and she always replied swiftly with thorough answers! It was amazing and relieved a lot of the stress of planning for me. Iโ€™m so happy to have come across safari.com because now I know where to go to for my future vacations!โ€

โ€œI was privileged to have been able to experience a wonderful trip through Uganda. It definitely was a lifetime-best travel experience. There are simply too many highlights to list here, but these included several spectacular top-notch game park drives, interesting cultural experiences, great overnight stays, and many more (*including, of course, the gorillas*). Thank you to Mel at safari.com who put the itinerary together. She proactively managed all of the bookings and flights (including having had to deal with flight time changes). And she worked with Exclusive Uganda Safaris to make this happen. So, this wonderful country, her professionalism and the outstanding local safari operator made this trip unforgettable.โ€
