Take a glimpse into African Safari
Top Activities to Enjoy on a Luxury African Safari Vacation
In African safaris, adventure extends beyond the usual local wildlife spotting, offering an array of exciting and unique activities.
Game Drives
Game drives are the core of any safari adventure. A game drive involves riding in a specialized safari vehicle within a national park to observe diverse wild animals and Africa’s majestic landscapes. With experienced guides at the helm, game drives provide insights into animal behaviors, natural habitats, and the intricate balance of the savannah ecosystem.
hadzabe hunting Experience
Join the Hadzabe people, one of Tanzania’s last hunter-gatherer tribes, for an authentic hunting experience. Venture into the wild as they demonstrate their ancient skills, using traditional bows and arrows. This immersive cultural experience offers a glimpse into a way of life that has remained unchanged for centuries, primarily in the remote areas near Lake Eyasi.
Hot air balloon flights
Due to the ban on drone use in most African parks, the hot air balloon safari stands out as the premier choice for those seeking a bird’s eye view of the savannah. Luxury travel to Africa is almost synonymous with epic hot air balloon flights, but this option is more accessible than you might think. Offered in Tanzania’s Serengeti and Tarangire National Parks, these journeys are truly memorable.
Night drives
Night game drives, permitted in select areas such as Lake Manyara, open up a whole new world of the savannah, revealing its nocturnal life. On these drives, you’re likely to encounter elusive creatures like porcupines, aardvarks, genets, and civet cats, which are rarely seen during daylight. This experience offers a thrilling perspective on the savannah’s diverse ecosystem.
Chimpanzee trekking
The Mahale Mountains and Gombe Stream National Park are the premier locations for observing chimpanzees, an endangered species, in their natural habitat. These parks are especially well-known as sites where Jane Goodall did her groundbreaking studies of apes.
