The Africa We Know and Love, Planned Around You
Explore
South Africa, Botswana, Tanzania, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Namibia, Rwanda, and Uganda each offer distinctly different landscapes and wildlife experiences.
Experiences
Choose from Great Migration safaris, Big Five game drives, walking safaris, gorilla trekking, mokoro excursions, mobile safaris, and bush-and-beach journeys.
Best For
Ideal for couples, families, photographers, solo travelers, honeymooners, and private groups who want a safari planned around their interests.
When To Go
Africa is a year-round destination. Tell us what you want to experience, and we will recommend the best time to travel.
Why Choose Africa for Your Safari?
No Two Safari Regions Feel the Same
Open Serengeti plains, Botswana’s seasonal waterways, South Africa’s private reserves, and Rwanda’s mountain forests create very different safaris. That range lets us match the destination to the wildlife you want to see, the pace you prefer, your travel dates, and how active you want to be.
Wildlife Viewing Throughout the Year
Africa does not have one safari season. The best place changes with rainfall, river levels, wildlife movement, migration patterns, and seasonal value. A well-planned trip can work in any month, whether you want dry-season concentrations, the Great Migration, green-season photography, or fewer vehicles at sightings.
More Ways to Experience the Wild
Game drives are one way to explore. You can track wildlife on foot, drift through the Okavango Delta by mokoro, ride through open country on horseback, or spend time with mountain gorillas. We match activities to your comfort level, interests, fitness, and the experience you want most.
Safari with Africa’s Other Highlights
Africa makes it possible to combine strong wildlife viewing with Cape Town, the Winelands, Victoria Falls, or an Indian Ocean beach. The route can feel varied without becoming rushed. We plan each transition carefully, so the safari remains central and every addition earns its place in the trip.

Why SAFARI FRANK?
A Wilderness We Know First-Hand
Our knowledge of Africa comes from time spent in its camps, concessions and wild places. We’re not recommending names from a list; we send you where we know the guiding, wildlife and overall experience hold up.
No Favorites, No Lodges We’re Trying to Fill
We match you on your preferences, budget, and travel style alone, with no commercial agreements pulling us one way or another. The recommendation you get is simply the one that fits you best.
One Expert, Every Detail Handled
African travel is logistically complex: lodges, light aircraft, transfers, timings. One specialist designs and runs your entire trip from first call to final day, with all the details in one place, so you arrive relaxed and nothing slips through the cracks.
A Trip That Gives Something Back
You want this to count, not just tick a box. Every safari we plan supports the conservation and the communities that keep these wild places alive, so your journey leaves Botswana better than you found it.
African Safari FAQs
These are some of the questions we’re often asked about African safaris. For anything more specific, complete the inquiry form below and one of our safari experts will guide you from there.
Many established safari regions can be visited safely with the right planning, but conditions vary by country and region. We assess each route, use vetted operators, choose trusted guides, allow realistic connection times, and follow current local advice. We will also tell you when an experience may not suit your age, mobility, fitness, or comfort level.
Our African safaris start at around $6,500 per person, excluding international flights. The final cost depends on the destination, season, accommodation level, privacy, and internal travel. Once we understand how you want to travel, we plan the strongest safari within your budget and explain clearly what the price covers.
There is no single best month to visit Africa. June to October is generally dry in many safari regions, which can make wildlife easier to find. Migration patterns, water levels, local rainfall, and the experience you want will all influence when you should travel. Tell us what you want to experience, and we will recommend the best times for your ideal safari.
Allow at least 7 to 10 nights for the safari itself. A trip of 10 to 14 nights gives you time to combine two regions without spending every other day in transit. If you also want Cape Town, the Winelands, Victoria Falls, or a beach stay, two weeks or longer usually gives the route enough room to breathe.
Plan 12 to 18 months ahead if you want peak dates, a specific camp, a family villa, or the Great Migration. Six to nine months can still work when your dates are flexible. Early planning gives us more control over camp choice and route flow. Late inquiries can work, but the strongest options narrow quickly.
Yes. The right reserve, camp, room setup, and vehicle arrangement matter more than a family-friendly label. Some properties have minimum ages for game drives or walking, while malaria considerations may influence the route. We plan around your children’s ages, interests, and usual travel rhythm so the safari works for the whole family.
