Custom Safaris Connecting East and Southern Africa
This week, we sent Bon Voyage emails for two very different safaris combining destinations in East and Southern Africa. Both custom safaris include a stunning variety of ecosystems and activities, and the logistics have never been easier to comfortably travel between these distinctive geographic regions.
Near Magashi Camp | Akagera National Park, Rwanda
SOUTH AFRICA, Zimbabwe, and Rwanda
Vic Falls, Sabi Sands, Gorillas and Lake Rwanyakazinga
(17-nights around $25,000/pp)
This is the ultimate luxury anniversary safari, starting with an elegant riverfront suite on a private wildlife reserve just up-river from Vic Falls followed by a stunning boutique safari lodge in the Sabi Sands known for excellent rhino and leopard sightings. Then, there’s a big travel day via Johannesburg to Rwanda for an epic gorilla trekking extension and a grand finale in beautifully lush Akagera Park, Central Africa's largest protected wetland and a vitally important conservation story.
Overlooking Victoria Falls
Sabi Sands Game Reserve
Matetsi River Lodge Suites
Kenya and Zimbabwe
Samburu, Masai Mara, Vic Falls, Hwange and Mana Pools
(17-nights around $12,000/pp)
This unique safari for two sisters was planned with a focus on authenticity and affordability. By utilizing a nonstop flight from Nairobi to Vic Falls, the final itinerary connects the best of two dramatically different countries: Kenya’s iconic landscapes and fascinating cultures paired with Zimbabwe’s awe-inspiring wonders and exclusive big-game wilderness areas. This one trip includes visits to national parks, community conservancies, private concessions and a UNESCO world heritage site.
Somalisa Expedition Camp | Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe
Masai Mara
Views of the Mara Conservancies
Visiting a Samburu community
With careful planning, both of these itineraries feature seamless logistics throughout with comfortable and efficient transportation across vast distances. And, by traveling in the month of May, we took advantage of shoulder season rates and long-stay discounts to achieve excellent value at either end of the spectrum.
