An African safari is more than a vacation. It’s an opportunity to experience incredible wildlife, explore breathtaking landscapes, connect with local communities, and create memories that last a lifetime. But with so many destinations and lodges to choose from, finding the right fit can make all the difference.
That’s where one of our preferred travel partners, A&K Sanctuary by Abercrombie & Kent, comes in. With 13 boutique camps and lodges across six African countries, the collection offers a range of experiences for first-time safari travelers, families, adventurous explorers, and couples celebrating a special occasion.
A Safari for Every Type of Traveler
For First-Time Safari Travelers
If this is your first trip to Africa, properties like Tambarare Camp in Kenya offer incredible opportunities to see the Big Five, learn about wildlife conservation, and even meet the world’s last two northern white rhinos. In Botswana, Chobe Chilwero Lodge combines classic safari adventures with river cruises, spa experiences, and exceptional comfort.
For Families
An African safari can be an unforgettable multigenerational adventure. Kitirua Plains Lodge in Kenya welcomes children ages six and up and offers family-friendly accommodations with stunning views of the surrounding plains. Olonana Lodge also caters to families with activities like cultural experiences, conservation lessons, and dedicated spaces for younger travelers.
For the Adventurous Traveler
Looking for more than game drives? Sussi & Chuma Lodge in Zambia offers experiences ranging from Zambezi River safaris to guided rhino tracking and scenic helicopter flights over Victoria Falls. For a truly extraordinary wildlife encounter, Gorilla Forest Lodge in Uganda provides access to mountain gorilla trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park.
For Those Seeking Remote Wilderness
Some of Africa’s most memorable experiences happen far from the crowds. Kichakani Camp in Tanzania moves with the Great Migration, giving guests the opportunity to witness this incredible wildlife spectacle throughout the season. In Namibia, Okahirongo Elephant Lodge offers a remote desert escape featuring dramatic dunes, striking rock formations, and guided explorations with local Himba guides.
For Couples and Special Occasions
For honeymoons, anniversaries, or simply a once-in-a-lifetime escape, Baines’ Lodge in Botswana offers an intimate experience in the Okavango Delta. With just six private suites, outdoor soaking tubs, personalized safari experiences, and opportunities to explore the waterways by traditional mokoro canoe, it’s an exceptional choice for couples seeking privacy and connection.
