Safari Holidays
Set off across acacia-dotted plains as the sun starts to brighten the horizon, witness a pride of lions stalk their prey across the savannah and pass waterways teeming with hippos. Or perhaps catch the thundering passage of the wildebeest migration or trek to see mountain gorillas. As the sun sets, end an unforgettable day on safari sharing stories around the camp fire.
Trailfinders offers the widest choice of safaris throughout Africa’s iconic wildlife parks. Whether you are looking to visit a variety of reserves, wanting to include just a few days' wildlife viewing as part of your holiday, or are looking to stay in a simple tented camp or a luxury lodge, our dedicated team of safari experts will help choose the right safari for you.

Rwanda

Part of the great Virunga Mountain Range, the dense forests of the beautiful Volcanoes National Park are renowned as one of the last remaining habitats of these great apes.

Namibia

WHICH SAFARI STYLE IS FOR YOU?
Whether you choose to stay in a single reserve or combine multiple parks, travel overland or fly in, go with a group or in a private vehicle, we can find the ideal safari for you.
Small Group Safaris A sociable and good value way to see Kenya and Tanzania's most popular national parks, travelling by road in a group of up to seven.
Private Safaris Combine a number of reserves in East Africa, travelling in a private vehicle with private guide and your choice of accommodation and departure date.
Fly In Safaris A superb option for adding a few days’ safari to your holiday or combining a number of reserves. Fly to your choice of camp or lodge and enjoy shared game viewing activities with the resident rangers. Available in Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe & Zambia.
Fly Drive Holidays In South Africa and Namibia, good roads and a well-developed infrastructure make it easy to combine a safari as part of a longer fly drive itinerary. Enjoy the freedom of driving through the parks yourself (in Namibia only) or embark on a game drive with your lodge’s rangers.
Small Group Adventure Tours A great value and sociable way to see Africa. Travelling overland in a group of up to 22, you will camp or stay in simple accommodation and may be asked to help out with the daily chores.
OUR RECOMMENDED SAFARI CAMPS & LODGES
Whether you prefer a safari lodge or the back-to-nature feel of a tented camp,
Africa is blessed with a diverse range of accommodation options. Top end camps
and lodges often boast an unbeatable location or unique architecture and each
will seek to deliver truly personalised experiences that will be cherished for a
lifetime. Luxury properties tend to offer fewer rooms, excellent guides, enhanced
dining experiences and a wider selection of activities. A tented camp provides a
truly authentic and intimate safari experience – forget ‘roughing it’ these camps
range from rustic and charming to the ultimate in chic, authentic luxury.
