Nothing conjures up the sense of adventure, intrigue and freedom for a holiday than the word 'safari'. It's all about getting out into the wild, where dawns break over vast savannahs and every rustle holds promise. There's a true sense of reconnecting with nature's raw beauty, and what you encounter – wild, untamed – will linger long in the mind. Whether you've been lucky enough to have experienced a safari, are planning one or are just dreaming, we've got plenty of inspiration to share – don't miss the latest episode of TravelSmart Weekly, which delves into this special type of holiday. |

Safaris are synonymous with Africa's iconic landscapes: Kenya's Maasai Mara, Tanzania's Serengeti, and South Africa's Kruger National Park. These regions offer unparalleled wildlife viewing, including the Great Migration. Outside Africa, safaris are captivating in India's Ranthambore and Kanha for tigers, Sri Lanka's Yala for leopards, and Australia's Northern Territory, where rugged landscapes offer encounters with crocodiles, kangaroos, and unique wildlife.
Whether you're looking for the safari lodge of your dreams or hoping to book a holiday that doesn't break the bank (read our expert guide to affordable safaris), we have you covered. |
