Welcome to African Vacation

At African Vacation, a fully independent and privately owned company, we only feature safari lodges and activities that we can sincerely recommend. African Vacation is renowned for organising customised African safaris, we take your African vacation and create a personalised African Safari of your choice. From 5 star luxury safari lodges to rustic tented camps we endeavour to offer exclusive safaris in Southern Africa, making your safari perfect in every way. If it is a wildlife walking safari, a tented safari camp in Botswana or a romantic honeymoon whilst on a Big 5 safari in South Africa, we can organise that African holiday of your dreams.

The safari business has changed substantially over the years since we first guided you through the bush. The choice out there is over whelming and there are lodges and safaris to suite each individual taste and budget. At African Vacation we aspire to gauge your preferences and give you a customised African safari that meets your expectations.

African Vacation is proud to present a selection of lodges and safari activities that we have come to know and love over the years in the safari business. Many of these lodges are located in South Africa’s world-renowned private game reserves including Sabi-Sand, Timbavati, and Thornybush as well as private concessions in the Kruger National Park. We can also offer safari accommodation in other less well known but equally spectacular wildlife reserves such as Kapama, Klaserie and Manyeleti. If you are looking for malaria free safari accommodation we would like to recommend the following game reserves Madikwe, Phinda and Shamwari.

We also offer exclusive safaris not only in South Africa but also in Botswana’s Chobe National Park and the Okavango Delta providing you with the ultimate African holiday. The annual wildebeest migration is one of the great events of the animal kingdom and our safari lodges in Kenya’s Masai Mara and Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park are ideally located to enable you to witness this spectacular event.

All of the lodges and safaris featured on this site are known to us personally. We know the best season to visit each individual area and adjust our recommendations to you accordingly. We never loose sight of the fact that this is the safari of a lifetime, (even if it is not your first, or hopefully your last) it must live up to your dreams and more, a safari should be a journey of body and soul. We understand how you need to make the most of your time in Africa but are sensitive to how demanding a very full itinerary can be and we aim to find that happy medium for your African Vacation.

African Vacation also caters for the keen adventurer with an array of activities including fly fishing, deep sea fishing, horse riding safaris, wildlife walking safaris, elephant back safaris, hiking, canoeing, boating and hot air ballooning.

Africa is about the outdoors and we can get you out there. Whether you are on safari in an open 4x4 vehicle looking at Africa’s wildlife, tracking the Big 5 on foot, riding horseback down a long deserted beach or simply relaxing beside a sparkling swimming pool at a luxury African safari lodge, we will find the African safari of your choice.
