Find the African Wildlife Safari That's Right for You

/Kgalagadi-cheetah-wildebeestThere are a few travel experiences quite like watching wildlife exactly where it belongs. Each safari unfolds differently, which is precisely what makes it so compelling. 

At Cedarberg Africa, we create wildlife safaris across Southern and East Africa, covering the continent's finest national parks and private reserves. From the iconic landscapes of the Serengeti and the Okavango Delta to South Africa's Kruger National Park and Kenya's celebrated game reserves, we'll help you find the safari that suits you best. Because there isn't a single "best" safari, only the one that's right for YOU. 

Why Choose an African Wildlife Safari?

The wildlife safari possibilities are extensive. From a fly-in safari to a remote, exclusive safari camp in Zambia, to a family-friendly safari in a non-malaria game reserve in South Africa. You might yearn to follow the movements of the vast wildebeest migration in the Serengeti. Or you may be more thrilled by tracking a leopard on the hunt…

For many, seeing animals in their natural habitat is the primary focus of their wildlife safari holiday. But for others, a wildlife safari is only one of the anticipated highlights. Their itinerary may include Cape Town, Victoria Falls, as well as the Indian Ocean Islands. Either way, the essence of a safari is that you are on the move, staying a few nights in different regions. Then you can experience a variety of habitats and thus, a diversity of wildlife. 

Our safari specialists take the time to understand what excites you most. Is it predators? Elephants? Rare birds? Do you prefer understated comfort in intimate camps or refined lodges with every indulgence? Are you celebrating a honeymoon, travelling as a family or returning to Africa for your fifth safari? Once we understand your wish list, we'll design an itinerary that balances exceptional wildlife viewing with the style of travel that suits you.
