Rivers usually flow to the sea, but the Okavango River empties onto land creating a magnificent permanent wetland of lagoons, channels and islands. This attracts a wealth of wildlife. Okavango Delta concessions and Moremi Game Reserve are top destinations to safari. Here you can encounter rare and endangered animals like the African wild dog, leopard, lion, red lechwe, sitatunga and the hippopotamus. Birders come from around the world as almost every southern Africa bird species is represented. Safari explorations can be done by foot, vehicle, river boat, or local canoe called a mokoro.

While you can find all of the Big Five in Chobe National Park, the biggest of them all is seen here in impressive numbers. The park has by far the largest concentration of African elephants in the world. Add to this, huge herds of buffalo, rare antelopes like the puku and Chobe bushbuck, and predators large and small, and you have yourself one of the richest game viewing areas in Africa.

Savuti and Linyanti are favorably located in between the Delta and Chobe and are known for incredible big game viewing with less tourism. Zebras live here before embarking on the longest land migration in Africa. Elephants and buffalo congregate around the water holes. Predators are prolific with famous lion prides, spotted hyena, leopards and wild dogs.

In the south are some of the most remote reserves in Africa. Central Kalahari Game Reserve has been home is home to nomadic San hunter-gatherers for over 20,000 years and hosts desert species like the springbok, eland, gemsbok, ostrich, cheetah and lion. The cutest inhabitants of the desert could be the lovable meerkats. Makgadikgadi Pans National Park is where you can watch as individuals stand guard just outside their elaborate burrows.

Not to be confused with the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Republic of the Congo is peaceful and small with tropical jungles that have only recently been able to be explored. In fact, just in August 2012 the  Odzala-Kokoua National Park reopened after major improvements were made to the tourism infrastructure. The isolated park is home to the largest population of western lowland gorillas, one of our closest relatives, and many other primate species. With the new Odzala Discovery Camps as your base, you can explore this unique equatorial forest for once in a lifetime encounters with the gorillas along with endangered forest elephants, giant forest hogs, forest buffalo and the bongo. In total, Congo is home to more than 400 mammal species, 1,000 birds, and over 3,000 plant species that can only be found here. You can be one of privileged few to experience this exclusive corner of Africa.

The extraordinary historical sites of Egypt make this a one of a kind destination that all adventurers should visit. Where else can you ride a camel through a desert to a pyramid that was built over 4,000 years ago or sail a felucca up the Nile stopping to wander through ancient tombs. Wildlife is plentiful in Egypt if you know where to look. The desert is home to cuddly fennecs, caracals and numerous snakes and lizards. In the Nile Valley you can spot weasels, mongoose, and the closest relative to the elephant, the hyrax, which ironically is about the size of a rabbit. A cruise on the Nile River from Luxor to Aswan will showcase many bird species, several which represented Egyptian gods like the hawk, falcon and ibis.

If instead of being on the water you would rather be in it, the Red Sea is a premier scuba dive destination with crystal clear water and warm temperatures. The sea is teeming with life and it is common to see turtles and rays along with an abundance of colorful reef fish amongst the coral. Spinner dolphins are often around and this is a premier destination to dive or snorkel with the misunderstood oceanic whitetip shark. After adventuring, relax at one of the beach towns.

Some 40 million years ago the ocean covered much of the Sahara Desert. The Valley of Whales is a reminder of this with well-preserved marine fossils far inland including an extinct subspecies of whale. Unfortunately, as of now most of the western desert has travel restrictions.

The Massai Mara National Reserve offers the classic game viewing associated with the word safari. Grazing animals are present year round which means the predators like lions, cheetahs, leopards and hyenas are always lurking close by. From July to October the great migration arrives in the Mara. The wildebeest crossing at Mara River is an African highlight as hundreds of animals form a line at the rivers edge and finally take a leap of faith while trying to avoid the deadly crocodiles. The Maasai people are fascinating to meet with their colorful lifestyle and culture. Stay in a luxurious tented camp, go on unbelievable game drives and see the vast expanse of land from the sky in a hot air balloon.

A popular postcard image in Kenya depicts a large herd of elephants foraging the golden plains dwarfed by the impressive snow-capped Mt. Kilimanjaro in the background. While Kilimanjaro is in Tanzania, Amboseli National Park is on the Kenya side of the border and offers this amazing sight. Amboseli is home to many animal species that are easy to spot due to the low vegetation. Besides elephants, you can observe giraffe, buffalo, wildebeest, zebra, gazelle, baboon, cheetah, lion, hyena and jackal. And this region is one of the best places to encounter the critically endangered black rhinoceros. With wetlands you will also find many impressive bird species.

Lewa Wildlife Conservancy and Samburu National Reserve are home to unique northern species like the endangered Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, gerenuk, beisa oryx and greater kudu. Lewa is also known for its healthy population of black and white rhinos, Somali ostrich and the rare Jackson’s hartebeest, and is less crowded than Samburu. Situated on the banks of the Ewaso Ngiro River, Samburu attracts animals from the surrounding arid savannahs as they come for a drink and to rest in the shade by the river’s edge. Predators are always nearby with the leopard, cheetah, lion, African wild dog, and many birds of prey all looking for a meal. Other highlights are elephants, over 400 species of birds, and the vulnerable pancake tortoise.

With over 450 bird species recorded, Lake Nakuru is a birder’s paradise. Stealing the show are the beautiful lesser and greater flamingos with pink coloration that contracts perfectly with the blue of the water. They can number over a million as they feed on the plentiful algae that lines the lake. Pelicans, cormorants and many other water birds can be spotted in striking numbers. The national park is also the home to both black and white rhinos along with the endangered Rothschild’s giraffe. Lion-viewing is excellent as well.

Madagascar is an immense island divided down the middle by ancient peaks into a land of extremes, with lush green rainforests to the east and vast parched thirst lands to the west. For millions of years Madagascar remained isolated and undisturbed allowing its inhabitants to evolve to the numerous climates on the island. Over 80% of the creatures who live on Madagascar are found nowhere else on Earth, and new ones continue to be discovered. Madagascar is a nature lover’s paradise, with unique creatures around every turn. Its lack of large or venomous predators allows you to wander the forests day and night with nothing to fear.

Close to the capital of Antananarivo, Andisibe-Mantadia National Park is the most visited in the country and where you want to go to find the indri. You may hear them before you see them as they chant ghostly calls that can be heard from a mile away. Indris are the largest surviving species of lemurs and they can only be found in this region. Common brown lemurs, gray bamboo lemurs, black-and-white ruffed lemurs, red-bellied lemurs and the striking diademed sifaka, arguably the most handsome of all lemurs, can also be encountered. The brown leaf chameleon is tiny, foraging along the forest floor. The cast of characters change dramatically in Madagascar’s forests from day to night. On a night walk you might come across the furry-eared dwarf lemur, the eastern woolly lemur or the diminutive brown mouse lemur. You may even see the Goodman’s mouse lemur first described in 2005. Tenrecs scurry along the ground while chameleons and leaf-tailed geckos blend in to the surroundings. Golden mantellas live nearby at Torofotsy Marsh with 40 other frog species. This is the only place in the world to see them in the wild.

Extremely popular for close encounters with ring-tail lemurs and Verreaux’s sifaka, Berenty Reserve is on many photographers’ lists. The animals are tame and are known to jump through your window if you leave it open or sit down next to you at the picnic table. This doesn’t offer the most natural setting, but Berenty is the best place to see the famous sifaka “dance” and ring-tails sunbathing.

With cascading waterfalls, lush rainforest and a huge diversity of wildlife, Ranomafana National Park is a slice of heaven for animal viewers. At least twelve lemur species are present here including the golden bamboo lemur, whose lucky discovery is why this area is now protected. Strange creatures live here. The striped civet is one of Madagascar’s premier carnivores but is very secretive. While you are not likely to see one, the extremely rare aquatic tenrec resides in these rivers. At least three species of camouflaged leaf-tailed geckos, numerous chameleons and the Madagascar tree boa call the forest home. And this is the best place to see the peculiar giraffe-necked weevil.

Getting to Kirindy Forest is half the fun as you drive along a bumpy road through the famous Avenue of Baobabs. Many people make this a day trip, but you must spend the night for an opportunity to see the lemur’s ultimate enemy, the fossa. Fossas are the largest predator on the island and come out at night looking for a lemur snack. October through December is the best time to visit as it is fossa mating season and they are not as shy. Other interesting species found here include the endangered giant jumping rat, one of the smallest primates in the world, the Madame Berthe’s mouse lemur, the bizarre looking spear-nosed snake, the Madagascar ground gecko and the fascinating vasa parrot.

It is easy to get lost in the ancient seductions of cities like Marrakesh, Fez and Casablanca and we can include these stays in your itinerary, but there is a lot of extraordinary exploration to be done outside of the city walls. With varied habitat ranging from the vast Sahara Desert, mountains as high as the Alps and the dramatic Atlantic coast, Morocco has a wide range of bird life and nature.

Overnight desert tours can be a fun and spiritual. The absolute silence of the dunes at night, the stars so bright you can gaze at distant galaxies, the sand so soft like golden powdered sugar… The camps are well thought out and this will certainly be a highlight.

The Souss Massa National Park and surrounding wetlands is a hot spot for avid birders with all sorts of avian life such as herons, flamingos and raptors. Here too is the best opportunity to see the critically endangered northern bald ibis with less than 100 pairs in existence.

The Atlas Mountains offer adventurous hikes with scenic vistas and remote villages. This is home for the Barbary sheep and the Barbary macaque, the only monkey living in North Africa.

Morocco is flanked by the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Ocean at the Strait of Gibraltar. Whales and dolphins use the nine-mile strait to travel from sea to ocean. Hop on a boat from Tangier for possible sightings of sperm whales, orcas, fin whales and more.

One of Africa’s most untouched countries, Namibia has it all. Etosha National Park is home to an impressive number of animals including the big five, zebra, giraffe, wildebeest, kudu, dik-dik, cheetah, over 300 species of birds and 27 species of snakes. With limited rain, the water holes become very social.

The AfriCat Foundation in Okonjima allows guest the chance to radio track cheetahs, wild dogs or spotted hyenas along their tracking trail in a 4×4 vehicle. Up close encounters with leopards are also common.

Fly over the eerie Skeleton Coast with forgotten shipwrecks scattered along the remote sand dune coast.

Safari along the dunes to spot rare desert-adapted elephants braving life alongside lions, brown hyenas, oryx, giraffe, ostrich and desert reptiles.

Flocks of flamingos and pelicans live in Walvis Bay Lagoon and here you can hop on a boat or grab a sea kayak for close encounters with Cape fur seals, bottlenose dolphins and the rare Heaviside’s dolphins, which only live along this coast.

If you are a hiker you may enjoy Fish River Canyon, offering views similar to the Grand Canyon. While you don’t typically come here for the wildlife, the landscapes are worth a stop.

And speaking of landscapes, you mustn’t miss Namibia’s most famous attraction, the largest sand dunes in the world rising up to 1,000 feet high. The wind constantly shifts the sand and the colors vary throughout the day from deep red to gold. The rock formations and caves in neighboring Sesriem Canyon make a perfect habitat for eagle owls, lappet-faced vultures and lanner falcons.

Volcanoes National Park, Africa’s first national park, is truly a different world. Towering to an intimidating 14,760 feet of bamboo and evergreen forest, this is the habitat of the illustrious mountain gorilla. Permits are needed as only eight people can be in a group to track a gorilla family. Negotiating through the dense jungle will take time and energy, but nature is surrounding you and possible sightings of endangered golden monkeys, bush duikers, forest buffalos and endemic bird species like the Ruwenzori double-collared sunbird or the beautiful Ruwenzori turaco will keep you on the lookout. Eventually you will meet up for one of the world’s premier wildlife encounters and all your efforts to get here will pay off. For one hour you will be moved by watching mother and baby gorillas lounging, playing and enjoying life just feet away from you. The huge male silverback may show off by beating his chest or he might just keep an eye on you from a distance. The time flies by but the memories of this expediton will be with you for a lifetime.

Primates rule Nyungwe Forest as 13 different species can be found. Along the well-preserved hiking trails you can trek for chimpanzees, colobus monkeys, grey-cheeked mangabeys, golden monkeys, blue monkeys and L’Hoest’s monkeys. Hike to Kamiranzovu marshlands for a beautiful waterfall and to glimpse animals like the African clawless otter and black duiker. Or go birding for local feathered gems like red-breasted sparrowhawks, and giant hornbills.With rolling hills, open grasslands and a labyrinth of lakes, Akagera National Park has many African savannah species including elephant, zebra, giraffe, buffalo, antelope and huge crowds of hippo and crocodile. Birders will have a great time tracking down the 500 species of birds including the African fish eagle, papyrus gonolek and the iconic shoebill.

Cape Town is known for gorgeous coastal scenery, delicious food and wine and makes a perfect base to explore the diverse wildlife that lives nearby. Just offshore you can witness one of nature’s ultimate predator versus prey behavior. Seal Island, home of 64,000 Cape fur seals, is patrolled by great white sharks now world famous for their highly acrobatic breaches. It is easy to root for the seals to escape from the beastly sharks but this doesn’t always happen. If you are brave enough, you can enter a cage and be safely in the ocean with these apex predators. Scuba divers can dive with seven gill sharks, makos and blue sharks off the coast. If cuddly is more your style, the endangered African penguins parading around Boulders Beach can put a smile on anyone’s face. And seasonally the waters around Cape Town are visited by humpback whales and southern right whales which can be viewed from the elevated shoreline or on a whale watching tour. On land, Table Mountain National Park is the single richest floral kingdom in the world with more than 1,500 genera, 30% of which are only found here. Plus, you get stunning views of Cape Town below. Rock hyrax and Chacma baboon are often spotted near the Cape of Good Hope.

One of the largest, oldest and most famous game reserves in the world, Kruger National Park boasts 150 different mammals which is more than any other park in Africa. Additionally, there are over 500 bird species and around 100 reptiles. Excitement is around every corner. Greater Kruger refers to the park along with many neighboring private game reserves that have taken down their fences to allow the wildlife to flow throughout the region. The private reserves offer more personalized safaris and you may get closer to the wildlife as 4×4 vehicles can go off the main roads. You can also enjoy night drives and walking safaris. Timbavati Private Reserve is known for lions that have a gene which make their fur white. Generations go by without any white lions but you never know when the next one will be born. Rare animals like the African wild dog and cheetah are seen more often in this reserve. Sabi Sands Private Reserve is the best destinations to see leopards hunting, resting in trees and running around with cubs. Sabie River flows through the reserve and is perfect for viewing hippos, crocodiles and water birds.

KwaZulu-Natal has a number of parks and reserves to encounter Africa’s Big Five and top animals. While the Kruger region may have more density of wildlife, KwaZulu-Natal offers specialized sightings. If you want to see cheetah you have a great opportunity at Phinda Game Reserve or if rhinos are a must, chances are good at Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park. Another reason to visit this province is that you can easily combine a traditional safari with a wonderful beach stay. iSimangaliso Wetland Park runs along the coast and has a high concentration of birds, hippos and crocodiles. From November to March rare leatherback and loggerhead turtles come ashore to lay eggs. Exciting Indian Ocean snorkeling and scuba diving takes place in Sodwana Bay where coelacanth, once thought to be extinct, have been seen at depths around 300 feet. Further south, Aliwal Shoal presents snorkelers an opportunity to swim with blacktip sharks in or out of a cage while divers can additionally see ragged tooth sharks, bull sharks or tiger sharks.

Tswalu Kalahari Reserve gives you one of the best chances in all of Africa to spot some of the arid specialists such as meerkat, mountain zebra, cheetah, aardvark, aardwolf and pangolin. Birds and butterflies are also well represented. The reserve offers a private guide so that you can explore to your heart’s content.

One of the world’s greatest wildlife events takes place between June and July along South Africa’s Wild Coast. A small creature gathers in the billions for an epic journey that can span over 300 miles. They fight their way as dangerous predators lurk both high and low. The hero of our event is none other than the sardine and the huge mass that they form can stretch up to ten miles and be seen from space. As the tiny fish swim with might, dolphins, tuna and sharks drive them towards the surface and feast. Birds such as Cape gannets shoot down from above like bullets and swim through the balls of fish for an easy meal. Then out of nowhere, the open mouth of a Bryde’s whale engulfs more of the sardines. It is incredible that some actually make it to their destination. While it is impossible to predict exact dates, with some luck you can witness the miraculous sardine run.

The Great Migration starts and ends in the renowned Serengeti National Park where millions of wildebeest along with hundreds of thousands of their zebra and gazelle friends journey to find that greener grass on the other side. They brave croc infested rivers and attempt to avoid the most ferocious land predators, which makes the event a true survival of the fittest. This safari experience is one of Africa’s best as the huge range of iconic wildlife includes the elephant, giraffe, buffalo, impala, topi, hartebeest, eland, rhinoceros, baboon, vervet monkey, warthog and ostrich. With plenty of prey, predators are here in astounding numbers and you can watch them hunt, relax and play. You have the opportunity to encounter lions, leopards, cheetahs, servals, spotted hyenas, all three jackal species, bat-eared foxes, honey badgers, aardwolves, eagles, vultures and unusual secretary birds. Your days will end with beautiful sunsets and starry nights in this immense natural paradise.

Staying at a wilderness lodge or camp on the rim of Ngorongoro Crater, you will descend down the steep slopes of the crater wall and spend your days on scenic grassy plains teeming with wildlife. The crater floor is over 100 square miles and is a perfect environment for zebras and wildebeests along with massive bull elephants, prides of black-maned lions, spotted hyenas and Tanzania’s few remaining black rhinos. Greater and lesser flamingos are found at Lake Magadi as are hippos. The birding is very good with crowned cranes, kori buzzards, Egyptian vultures, ostriches, and many colorful rarities along the crater walls and floor.

A Lake Manyara National Park safari takes you through many different habitats to see a wide range of animals and birds. Lush forests provide encounters with enormous troops of baboons, screeching blue monkeys and curious vervet monkeys. Birders will be impressed by the coloration of the lilac-breasted roller and the sounds of the hornbills. The floodplains host large herds of buffalo, wildebeest, zebra and impala, sharing the lakeshore with giraffes, hippos, and dense flocks of water birds like pelicans, cormorants, storks and flamingos. Inland of the floodplain, acacia woodlands provide shade for elephants, tiny but delightful dik-diks, banded mongoose and the legendary tree-climbing lions.

The jungle-coated Mahale Mountains have no roads, only forest paths that animal residents have created over time. The arrival to Mahale is by boat along Lake Tanganyika or by chartering a light aircraft. Needless to say, you are in pristine wilderness and seclusion. Chimpanzees have been studied in these forests for over 45 years and encounters are nearly guaranteed. Hiking to the peak is an all day expedition but you will be rewarded with incredible views and a chance to see an endemic Angola colobus species.

The snow-capped peak of Mount Kilimanjaro towers over 19,000 feet above sea level earning it the highest point in Africa and the tallest free-standing mountain in the world. With numerous trails ranging from moderate to strenuous, amateur hikers and experienced mountaineers will be rewarded with lifetime memories of conquering this mountain. Varieties of wildlife will be seen along the way as you pass through rainforest, grasslands and end up in an arctic-like setting.

Kibale Forest National Park is the natural habitat for an amazing 13 primate species, and contains the highest primate density of any area on Earth. Here, on a guided forest walk, you have the best chance of anywhere in Africa to encounter families of chimpanzees chattering and swinging through the ancient forest trees. You will likely see other primates such as olive baboons, grey-cheeked mangabeys, red-tailed monkeys, red colobus monkeys, black-and-white colobus monkeys, blue monkeys, and L’Hoest’s monkeys. Some of the trees are 150 to 180 feet in height and provide a majestic canopy for the profusion of rainforest life, with 325 bird species including five that are endemic to the region.

With rolling savannah and shimmering lakes, many species migrate through Queen Elizabeth National Park. Large herds of elephants, buffalo and Uganda kobs graze throughout the park, while leopards, lions, and spotted hyenas prowl. Over 600 bird species live here, the second highest number in all of Africa! A jungle cruise along the Kazinga Channel will be a highlight of your trip as you encounter some of the resident 30,000 hippos, crocodiles and much more. Camping in Ishasha gives you the opportunity to interact closely with nature and see the unique tree-climbing lions.

The 128 square-mile Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is one of the richest ecosystems in Africa with impressive numbers of mammals, birds, butterflies and flowering plants. The most notable inhabitants of the park are the critically endangered mountain gorillas, which live in family groups of between 8 and 25 individuals. Some of these families have been habituated over the last few years and tolerate human presence for a brief period every day. In small privileged groups of eight, you march (or are carried if need be) through the thick forest in search of the gorillas. Once the family is found, one magical hour is spent to marvel at these enormous and special creatures in their natural habitat.

Lake Mburo National Park is a small but beautiful wildlife area comprised of scrub and acacia woodland, savannah, wetlands and five lakes. These varied habitats support an impressive variety of wildlife including impala, Burchell’s zebra, topi, eland, hippopotamus and Nile crocodile. The park has a very respectable bird list including the adored Abyssinian ground horn bill, African finfoot, saddle-billed stork, great snipe and the beloved shoebill which is one mean looking bird.

The southern border of Zambia and Zimbabwe is defined by the mighty Zambezi River, which is home to a wide variety of fish including the tigerfish with its menacing grin. At Victoria Falls the river becomes the largest cascade of water in the world and impressive views can be seen from both sides of the border or from the sky in a helicopter or small plane. This is one of the seven natural wonders of the world for good reason. A dip in Devil’s Pool has you daredeviling the top of the falls while a sunset cruise as a great way to spend an evening.

Hwange National Park is Zimbabwe’s largest and is one of the last strongholds for the endangered African wild dog. Elephants live here in impressive numbers as do a wide array of other animals and birds. In July to October wildlife clings to the small ponds and you can sometimes spot predators drinking next to prey. Imagine being a body length away from a herd of wild elephants drinking and splashing around. Well, some camps have hides at their watering hole making for wonderful up-close views and wide-angle photographs.

Zambia’s parks are untouched and you can go on ultimate walking safaris to experience the African wilderness just as the early explorers did. The leopard density may be higher in South Luangwa National Park than any other park in Africa. Elephants roam freely through the camps and in one lodge they walk through the lobby to get to their favorite tree. Lions, Thornicroft’s giraffes, Crawshay’s zebras, buffalos, hippos and crocodiles are just some of the animals you are likely to encounter. From October to December a wildlife spectacle occurs in Kasanka National Park. Over 10 million bats arrive to feast on local fruit which attract predators like eagles. The show can be viewed from special platforms which allow you to be eye level with the action. Kasanka is also a must-visit for keen birders and is home to sitatungas, blue monkeys and kinda baboons.

Lower Zambezi National Park in Zambia and Mana Pools National Park in Zimbabwe are separated by the Zambezi River. Highlights include elephants that stand on hind legs to reach for tree branches, packs of wild dogs, and being face to face with a high concentration of wildlife during special walking or canoe safaris. If you are a photographer, Mana Pools should be on the top of your list as the mist of the jungle really shines here.
