Safari & Wildlife
Experience an Authentic African Safari
If you’re big on the Big 5, we invite you to discover the best of the bush on luxury safaris with Explorer. From Chobe and the Serengeti to open vehicle game drives in a private reserve or a horseback safari in the Masai Mara, Southern Africa is the wildlife capital of the world, filled with bucket-list safari experiences.
There’s so much on offer: witness the Great Migration from a hot-air balloon, watch calving whales from the shores of Hermanus, or track cheetah on foot at Samara. A Kruger Park safari is ideal for first-timers who want to experience game viewing in style and luxury – and who want almost guaranteed sightings of the Big 5. You can also expect rewarding wildlife encounters on a walking safari in Zambia’s South Luangwa or among the wetlands of Botswana’s Okavango Delta.
Take a journey on the wild side with Explorer.

Top Experiences in Safari & Wildlife
Chobe is best known for supporting the largest concentration of elephant found anywhere in Africa. It is not uncommon to encounter herds in excess of a hundred animals.
Witness the greatest wildlife show on earth when over a million wildebeest, gazelle and zebra charge towards better grazing areas, dangerously crossing the Mara River where crocodiles lie in wait. No wonder it is listed as one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa.
Savour the tranquility of cruising reed-lined channels in a mokoro or experience the thrill of action-packed game drives on land. However you do it, game viewing in the Okavango is always a rewarding experience.
As your vehicle hits the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater, you’ll catch your first glimpse of this ancient caldera: filled with wildlife and offering some of the best game viewing in Tanzania. In you go.
Witnessing the Big Five is on everyone’s bucket list, and Madikwe offers ample opportunities to spot elephant, buffalo, rhino, lion and leopard on day and night drives, and guided safari walks.
