"The memories you will create are incredible. From wild safaris to camping in the national parks, to bungee jumping over Victoria Falls… Wow, even back home, I still can’t believe it."

The average duration of our African safaris is 12-14 days, the longest being 21 days. For the ultimate wildlife experience, we recommend scheduling two weeks, which will allow you plenty of time to explore the sights, discover the animals and experience epic adventures. But if you’re short on time, we do have African safari trips that run for 1 week or less.
