Lake Manyara National Park
The spectacular alkaline Lake Manyara forms the centre point of this small and very beautiful park with surprisingly diverse fauna and flora. A circuit drive through the park passes through forest, wetlands, grassy plains and acacia forests, offering views of different animals and multitudes of birds. Elephant, hippo, giraffe, tree-climbing lion and baboon are just a few of the game that call Manyara home.
Lake Kariba
Straddling a portion of the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe, Lake Kariba is the world's largest man-made lake. Its creation provided perfect conditions for wildlife in Matusadona National Park, located on a section of its shore on the Zimbabwean side, to thrive. Game viewing along Lake Kariba's shoreline can be done by houseboat, canoe or boat, and from inside Matusadona on foot; preferably with an expert guide. The roads are rough and gruelling and 4x4 vehicles are required.
Laikipia
Once a region of vast livestock ranches, Laikipia has transformed into one of Kenya's most successful conservation areas, offering an exclusive, wildlife-rich safari experience that rivals even the renowned Masai Mara. With its sprawling open plains, low visitor numbers, and rare wildlife species—including black rhinos, Grevy's zebras, and the elusive black leopard—Laikipia is a must-visit for safari enthusiasts seeking authentic, remote, and sustainable travel experiences.
KwaZulu-Natal
From Big 5 safaris and rugged mountains to white-sand beaches and rich cultural history, KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) offers one of South Africa's most diverse travel experiences. Located on the country's eastern coastline and home to the proud Zulu nation, this vibrant province rewards visitors with world-class game viewing, warm Indian Ocean waters, dramatic landscapes, and fascinating battlefields. Whether you're a first-timer or seasoned safari-goer, KZN delivers a perfect blend of nature, wildlife, history, and adventure.
Kwando, Linyanti & Selinda Private Reserves
This vast, unspoiled wilderness area in Botswana's northern region comprises the extensive Kwando/Linyanti River system. Game-rich and scenic, this area is more remote than some of the other game reserves in Botswana. It offers private, informal safaris without any of the restrictions of national parks. Expect night game drives, bush walks, off-road game drives, canoe and mokoro game viewing and even horseback riding safaris.
Kunene Damaraland Region
The Kunene Region in north-western Namibia is wild, remote and sparsely populated. A transitional area with a distinctive desert region, Kunene has a surprising wealth of desert-adapted wildlife, including the largest population of free-ranging black rhino, elephant, lion, cheetah, leopard, hyena, Hartmann's zebra, springbok and gemsbok (oryx). It's also home to the Damara, Himba and Herero tribes who live in this stark and fascinating 28-million-acre arid expanse.
Kruger National Park Area
The Greater Kruger National Park is South Africa's flagship safari destination and one of the most important wildlife conservation areas in Africa.
Klaserie Game Reserve
The Klaserie Private Nature Reserve is one of Greater Kruger's most peaceful and low-density safari areas, offering an authentic, unhurried wilderness experience with small lodges, excellent walking opportunities, and very few vehicles in the bush.
Kenya
Kenya is the most famous East African Safari destination - most likely by virtue of its bygone days of decadent colonial lifestyles immortalised in colourful books and movies like "Out of Africa" and "White Mischief". It's also one of the favourite areas to watch the world-famous Great Migration that takes place every year (Masai Mara) and Kenya is recognised as one of the premier 'beach and bush' safari and tropical seaside destinations.
Kavango & Zambezi Region
With four perennial rivers, this is arguably one of Namibia's most verdant areas and is renowned for its top game-viewing opportunities. You'll have every chance to see elephant, lion, buffalo, cheetah, giraffe and many varieties of antelope. It's also a popular fishing destination and a bird lover's paradise with over 600 species, including some rare endemic birds.
Katavi National Park
Known for its diverse landscapes and abundance of game, Katavi National Park's drawcard is its remoteness. This has ensured that the area has remained completely unspoilt. With so few visitors around, a Katavi safari is guaranteed to make you feel like the only people on earth! With large populations of elephants, lions, hippos and more, game viewing is beyond spectacular, especially during the dry season when water sources dwindle.
Kalahari Desert
The Kalahari is a malaria-free destination loved by wildlife enthusiasts for its tranquil, immersive and uncrowded safari experience. Several reserves and national parks, such as Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, Central Kalahari Game Reserve and Nxai Pan National Park, provide safari-goers with the opportunity to encounter a wide variety of animals in their natural habitat and the chance to witness breathtaking sunsets and clear starry skies.
