of the nine provinces of South Africa,
the Kingdom of Swaziland, the

Namibia,
Botswana, Zambia,
Mozambique,
Kenya, Tanzania,
Rwanda, and
Egypt. With that number of years of intimate experience, there can

to Cairo, and everywhere in between,
we launched ‘The Great North Road’ in
the US market – creating a weave of several African countries to inspire even
the most intrepid traveler. Our Tours and Safaris in Africa bring our passengers
up-close-and-personal with Africa’s abundant Animal Kingdom, the ‘Big 5’, the
traditions and cultures of the many nations that populate the continent, and the
true essence that is Africa.
African Hosting
2AFRIKA has forged bonds over many
years with several prominent hotel, safari lodge and beach
resort chains. They are, amongst others, Sarova Hotels, not only
one of the largest chains of hotels and lodges in Kenya and East
Africa but also also one of the most innovative. The Sarova fine
properties are the Sarova Stanley and the Sarova Panafric in
Nairobi. 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.
Sarova Hotels offer a great selection of special offers at
their hotels. From The Rembrandt in the centre of London to the
Abbey in the Worcestershire countryside, there is something to
suit all occasions.
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. Kilimanjaro whilst located on the
slopes of Oloongams Hills; you’ll find the Mara Sopa Lodge, one of the first
lodges to be built in the Masai Mara National Reserve.

National Park) famous for the wildebeest migration and balloon flights, and Lake
Nakuru National Park, famous for its abundance of pink flamingoes. Samburu
National Reserve, Shaba National Reserve (AKA Shaba National Park, Shaba
National Game Reserve), the Great Rift Valley, Nairobi National Park, and
Amboseli National Park at the foot of Mt. Kilimanjaro also feature prominently

visits to Tsavo National Park, Mombasa, Malindi (for scuba diving), and the
exotic island getaway of Lamu.
Our affordable East Africa Safaris are not merely to Kenya.
Safaris to Tanzania also feature prominently in our affordable East Africa
Safari collection. On safari in Tanzania, our passengers visit Arusha, Arusha
National Park, Serengeti National Park – which is famous for balloon flights and
the Great Migration – the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Olduvai Gorge, the
Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire National Park, and Lake Manyara National Park.
Nearby, in the Indian Ocean, our travelers have enjoyed the beaches of the Spice
Island of Zanzibar as well as the World Heritage Site – Stone Town. Passengers
wishing to enjoy a more isolated safari in Africa are encouraged to visit Ruaha
National Park and Selous Game Reserve.
Combined, Kenya and Tanzania, is the perfect East Africa destination for a high-impact safari in Africa at affordable prices. In both Kenya and Tanzania, we have arranged honeymoon safaris, traditional African weddings, balloon flights, photographic safaris, African bush walks. Guided African bush walks are particularly interesting for our passengers get to pass and visit local African villages and meet and interact with local tribes people.
Many 2AFRIKA
passengers have enjoyed climbing Mt. Kenya and Mt. Kilimanjaro with its several
popular routes of Machame, Marangu, and Rongai. Mt. Kilimanjaro climbs start
from the Mt. Kilimanjaro National Park and the perfect pre-climb overnight spot
is Moshi. Climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro and climbing Mt. Kenya are both exhilarating
experiences.
A walking safari in the African bushveld is a most rewarding experience.
Thrilling, up close and personal, an African Bush Walk revives the adventure,
luxury, and romance of a ‘Classic Hemingway Safari’. A walk in the African
bushveld will without doubt heighten every one of your senses and you will
return revitalized and rejuvenated for an African Bush Walk is unlike anything

The extent of our expertise in South Africa covers all nine provinces. We feature Gauteng, Mpumalanga, Eastern Cape, Western Cape, Northern Cape, Free State, North West Province, KwaZulu-Natal, and Limpopo Province. In South Africa, we encourage our passengers to visit Johannesburg, Cape Town, Port Elizabeth, East London, and Durban. The most popular routes we recommend at the Garden Route, which stretches from Cape Town in the west to Port Elizabeth in the east. There’s the Natal Midland’s Meander in KwaZulu-Natal, famous for local craftsman's work, accommodation, quaint shops & fine dining amongst the magnificent scenery of the Natal Midlands.
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. Both Johannesburg and Cape Town have a
very proud Jewish Community and our expertise and long forged connections
enables us to arrange Kosher Tours and Safaris in South Africa.
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. Nearby, there is Sun City – a resort of
immense proportion – and Pretoria, the nation’s Capital City, the site where
President Nelson Mandela became South Africa’s first black president. 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. Oddballs’ and Santawani feature prominently in our
Okavango Delta collection where the affordable prices come into effect in the
green season. Now, you can make Footsteps in Africa your way by combining our
affordable Okavango Delta Safaris with our equally affordable Chobe Mowana Lodge
short stays followed by a visit to the Victoria Falls, which spans Zimbabwe and
Zambia.
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. In the
South Luangwa Valley, you will find a surprise around every corner – indeed, a
very intoxicating African country that will heighten your every sense.
