African Parks and Safaris

About African Parks and Safaris

We are experts in specialised tailor made safaris throughout Southern and Eastern Africa. We are passionate about travel and have gained extensive knowledge and expertise throughout Africa. Whenever and wherever you want to travel - we can work out a private tailor made safari package to suit your budget, time frame and expected level of comfort.

We are an online tour operator and work only with the best local operators on the ground. Africa’s “bush telegraph” means we are always informed of the latest bush updates, from wildlife, birdlife, bat sightings and migration routes to weather and water level updates. This enables us to work out and plan the most exceptional African safaris for our clients.

Some of our favourite “off the beaten track” safaris and most popular destinations are as follows:

South Africa and Namibia: 4 and 6 day Orange River Rafting Trails, Richtersveld

Our aim is to explore and discover the Richtersveld desert reserve with all its hidden treasures and trails. Our days are spent with early morning paddling, floating, swimming, bird watching and negotiating some rapids and fast flowing water. Our camps on the trip will be along the river edge, where you will sleep next to the campfire, under the stars each night.

6 day Classic Namib Desert Safari

Windhoek – Swakopmund – Sossusvlei – NamibRand Nature Reserve – Windhoek (fly-in)

From R 28 730 pp sharing

Namibia is often called the land of the wide open space. It is spectacular from below and even more from above. One stunned client said “... it was like being in an IMAX theatre all the time”. A plane does not only make the travelling an awesome experience, it also gives a lot more flexibility and much more time on the ground for activities.

These private tailor made camping safaris can be made up according to your budget, time frame and the specific areas within the Botswana National Parks that you want to explore. We go off the beaten track so you will be able to spot animals, watch them for a long as you want and then tell us when you want to move on. This is the closest you will get to wilderness camping, while being safe. We make use of local guides and camp staff, so you know that your money is going back into the local communities. The registered Botswana guides grew up with the wildlife so they will take you around their backyard, showing you all they have learned growing up.
