Embark on a bespoke African adventure with Savile Row’s new safari guide

Savile Row Travel has recently launched a new Safari Guide. Curated with luxury travellers in mind, it is an excellent resource for anyone thinking of visiting Africa for the first time, or indeed for regular visitors to this continent of contrasts.

It covers everything from descriptions of prime safari destinations to expert insights on upscale safari lodgegs, wildlife and and bespoke experiences, and will help you to explore Africa in a sustainable and enriching way.

This invaluable resource focuses on sustainability and conservation efforts, highlighting some of the most iconic safari destinations but also delving into how travellers can engage with the local environment and culture in a meaningful way.

Here are five safari destinations highlighted in the guide that will whet your appetite for Africa’s diverse ecosystems, not to mention a wealth of opportunities for unforgettable safaris.

Kenya’s Masai Mara

A great place to start is Kenya’s Masai Mara, famous for the Great Migration, where millions of wildebeest, zebras and other wildlife make the long journey across the savanna. Consequently, the Masai Mara offers amazing wildlife viewing, and the guide details luxury stays at exclusive lodges where you can enjoy front-row seats to one of the world’s most awe-inspiring natural events.

Tanzania’s Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater

Another East African hotspot for witnessing the same Great Migration spectacle can be found in Tanzania. The experience is different, though, and the Serengeti’s vast plains and the dramatic Ngorongoro Crater offer prime opportunities for observing the Big 5. See the guide for insights into the best times to visit for optimal wildlife viewing.

Botswana’s Okavango Delta

For an altogether difference safari experience, try Botswana and, more specifically, the Okavango Delta. It’s known for its pristine beauty and waterways, and will provide a unique safari experience with the opportunity for mokoro (a dug-out canoe) rides through the delta’s winding channels. Discover luxury tented camps alongside a rich diversity of birdlife and aquatic animals.

South Africa’s Kruger National Park

And let’s not forget the many safari opportunities that are to be enjoyed in South Africa, including the Kruger National Park, famous for its Big 5 sightings and spanning nearly 20,000 square kilometres. Luxury game drives will take you through vast landscapes,from savannahs to dense woodlands, whilst upscale lodges will ensure your wildlife experiences are accompanied by stylish, high-end accommodation so that you can relax in comfort after a day of adventure.

Namibia’s Skeleton Coast and Etosha National Park

And finally, with its stark desert landscapes and towering dunes, Namibia presents yet another different kind of safari experience, where adventure meets isolation. The Skeleton Coast offers a surreal safari experience, with its eerie, mist-covered shores, scattered shipwrecks, and stark, desolate beauty. It’s a remote region where you may observe elephants, lions and even brown hyenas., all thriving in a somewhat harsh environment. Etosha National Park on the other hand is famed for its vast salt pans and waterholes that attract a range of animals, from oryx and springbok to rhinos and giraffes. In Nambia, safaris focus on the rare and the unexpected.
