I've also been visiting Africa, and Botswana in particular, since I was a kid. When I was putting this scouting trip together with just a few weeks notice, I sketched out all of the camps I've been to in the Okavango, and I realized I've visited more than 100 camps over 40 years of travel!
In March 2024, Next Adventure’s Marketing Director Jeremy Townsend embarked on a classic overland safari on Tanzania’s iconic Northern Circuit visiting Arusha National Park, Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater and the whole of the Southern Serengeti from the Kakesio plains through Ndutu, Naabi and the Seronera Valley.
From logpiles to treehouses, these safari camps go beyond the traditional game drive experience by providing strategically placed hides that allow you to get up close and personal with animals in their natural habitat.
I had a pretty good idea that this would exceed my expectations based on my previous experience planning a safari with Next Adventure years ago with the boys. I have to say, it blew my expectations away.
This was our third trip with Next Adventures. One evening in Botswana, as we enjoyed snacks and watched the sunset, I was overcome with a feeling of serenity in my soul. With the sun setting in the vast open space, I could only stretch my arms and let the calm and peacefulness fill me up.
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.
What’s better than being on safari? Seeing the wonder through the eyes of a kid…
We tailor every family safari to inspire curious adventure seekers of every age. With the right camps, expert guides and diverse activities, our family safaris let you connect with nature and each other while creating unforgettable memories.
For your next milestone occasion, imagine intimate sunset picnics overlooking iconic landscapes, candlelit dinners under star-filled African skies, luxurious safari lodges and secluded camps nestled in the heart of the bush, and exhilarating wildlife encounters you’ll remember forever.
No other safari destination is as well-known as the Serengeti. The Great Migration river crossings get most of the attention, but the Serengeti offers so much more. It’s a dynamic year-round destination with lots to explore, a range of seasons, stunning new camps and unique opportunities for true adventure.
Zimbabwe has always delivered unforgettable safari experiences in iconic destinations with abundant wildlife and the highest guiding standards anywhere in Africa.
All the accommodations had wonderful and unique aspects. What stood out is the quality of the food, morning coffee/tea service, Indian food influence, hospitality, cleanliness, and the wonderful guides through the whole trip.
Let’s kick the year off with a splash of color and some of Africa’s most unique properties. Of course, every camp we recommend has something special to offer, but there are a few that have an undeniable flair.
How would you describe to a friend what it's like to be on a safari?
Fascinating. Every minute provides a different experience even after you feel you have seen plenty of zebra, lions, elephants, etc., and after you think you have taken all the great photos and videos you’ll need. Putting down the cameras and picking up the binoculars and just watching the animals is amazing too.
Next Adventure did a really good job picking the right vacation for us; you were thorough, and you made sure we were prepared. The dossier you prepared was also very helpful. Thanks again for an incredible trip! I can't wait to go back!
Victoria Falls is one of those iconic bucket-list destinations, and it's situated right in the middle of Southern Africa. It's easy to access, offering something for everyone, and there are so many ways to experience the Falls and explore the surrounding area.
Next Adventure is mission-driven to inspire a lifelong love for Africa and expand the benefits of tourism across the calendar year and a wider geographic footprint.
Here are some exciting camps on our radar, some new, some rebuilt, and some we just want to get back to one more time. Our Bucket List for 2024.
In East and Southern Africa, we have spectacular seaside experiences that are a perfect pairing with traditional safaris.
This is such an exciting time of year as the great migration is churning in East Africa, and the life-giving floods are reaching the extremities of the Okavango Delta.
The Zambezi River Valley is simply one of the most picturesque and dramatic places in the world: an incredibly wild and remote area where the mighty Zambezi River meanders between two national parks, Lower Zambezi on the Zambia side and Mana Pools on the Zimbabwe side.
In May 2023, Next Adventure’s Marketing Director Jeremy Townsend, spent 12 days with a friend self-driving through Namibia’s vast northwestern territory.
If we have a truly blank slate, this will often lead us to something a little unusual, maybe off the beaten track, or something that offers guests unique access to people, projects and specific themes.
As a family-oriented business, we know firsthand what makes a multi-family or multi-generational family safari successful. We can help you zero-in on a shared safari itinerary, and we can arrange custom extensions that satisfy diverse interests, abilities and budgets.
It’s always magical to spend time with elephants, but what if you’re really drawn to elephants? What if you want to get to know them, watch them interact as a family and immerse yourself in their world…?
Beyond the thick forests of Southwest Uganda and its famous primate excursions, there are parks equally worthy of exploration, both for bird and wildlife viewing and for spectacular natural beauty.
Glenn and Karen have an insatiable curiosity for unique animals, diverse landscapes and getting off the beaten path. Few people have seen the variety of wildlife that Glenn and Karen have seen over the course of dozens of safaris.
