On safari, you’ll find Sarova Mara Game Camp in the Maasai Mara National Reserve (Masai Mara National Park), and Sarova Shaba Game Lodge in Shaba National Reserve (AKA Shaba National Park, Shaba National Game Reserve). Sarova Lion Hill Game Lodge is a perfect stop in Lake Nakuru National Park in the Great Rift Valley. Sarova Taita Hills Game Lodge, located in Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary adjacent to Tsavo West National Park, is a perfect combination for passengers extending a safari to luxuriate on the Kenya coastline where the Sarova Whitesands Beach Resort and Spa is the perfect place to land. Kenya by contrast is the perfect destination in East Africa to enjoy an affordable safari in one or more of the famous game parks followed by a relaxing beach vacation. Most 2AFRIKA passengers travel to Kenya by way of Virgin Atlantic Airways via London to Nairobi. Oftentimes those passengers enjoy a stop in London and there, we recommend Sarova Hotels London.

Throughout time, the haunting image of the East African landscape has captured the hearts and souls of many. Staying at a Sopa Lodge when on safari in Kenya is intoxicating. So too does one experience the same euphoric sensation when on safari in Tanzania. Both the Maasai Mara National Reserve (Masai Mara National Park) and the Serengeti National Park are home to the big five and the famous great migration or wildebeest migration. The best time to experience the great migration is generally from mid-July through the end of September. The Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge is perched on the rim of the collapsed volcano, the Ngorongoro Crater, a world heritage site, often referred to as the eighth wonder of the world. Nestled in the acacia woodland on the edge of the escarpment overlooking the plains of the southwestern Serengeti National Park, one of the most famous parks in the world, and host to the largest and most spectacular annual migration of the wildebeest, you’ll find the Serengeti Sopa Lodge. Tarangire Sopa Lodge hides among the kopjes of Tarangire National Park, surrounded by ancient baobab trees! It is the home of the greatest concentration of elephants in Africa, and other game including the elusive leopard. In Kenya’s Masai land, the Amboseli Sopa Lodge sits on the foothills of Africa’s highest mountain, Mt.

Visitors to Cape Town must see to it that they visit Table Mountain, drive the Cape Peninsula, visit the Cape of Good Hope where the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean meet, stop off at Simons Town and in particular, Boulders Beach to visit the African Penguin Colony who have made this beach their home. Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, the Bo-Kaap, the Company Gardens – Cape Town, the V&A (Victoria and Alfred Waterfront), and a cultural trip to Robben Island where President Nelson Mandela was imprisoned,  are perfect sightseeing attractions for visitors and local Capetonians alike.

Johannesburg, the City of Gold is becoming increasingly popular for passengers wanting to explore more of the ‘living history’ of South Africa. 2AFRIKA has found the perfect ‘spot’ called Melrose where safety is of primary concern. And we have chosen to let our passengers stay there at one of either The African Pride Melrose Arch Hotel or the Protea Hotel Fire & Ice. Both properties are perfectly situated for shopping, alfresco dining, walking around in comfort and they are both the perfect departure point for sightseeing tours of Johannesburg and the surrounding areas. The most sought after sights of the city of Johannesburg are Soweto (the South Western Township), the Apartheid Museum, the Origin’s Center, and a little further afield, Maropeng – the Cradle of Humankind, Sterkfontein Caves and Lesedi Cultural Village where visitors can enjoy a sampling of local culture.

Pretoria boasts interesting sights like the Union Buildings, Church Square, and much more to combine interesting sightseeing opportunities.

To the east, our collection includes the world-famous Kruger National Park. Fondly known as Kruger by many, the Kruger National Park is home to a wide variety of African wildlife. However, the smaller more intimate safari lodges and game parks that border the Kruger National Park is where we find our best deals. Kapama Private Game Reserve is a prime example of exotic luxury on safari in Africa.

To the north of South Africa, we offer a fine range of safaris in Zambia, safaris in Botswana, and safaris in Zimbabwe. These safaris are all affordable safaris and cover Chobe National Park, the South Luangwa Valley, and the Okavango Delta. Recently we have added Bumi Hills on Lake Kariba in Zimbabwe and The Hide in Hwange National Park to our collection, as a perfect add-on to a stay at the Victoria Falls. In the area, Chobe Safari Lodge is one of our preferred properties of choice followed by Chobe Mowana Lodge. Just recently introduced is a magnificent Okavango Delta circuit, which includes the popular Chief’s Island, the Moremi Game Reserve, the Makgadikgadi, and Nxai Pans.

In Zimbabwe, our preferred safari lodge is unquestionably the Victoria Falls Safari Lodge whilst on the Zambia side of the Victoria Falls, we prefer the Sun International properties of The Royal Livingstone and the Zambezi Sun, both on the banks of the Zambezi River.

Zambia on the other hand evokes walking safaris and there, our preferred safari destination is the South Luangwa Valley where your Zambia Safari is limited only by your imagination.
