Explore Santaviva's Exclusive Safari Adventures in East Africa and Southern Africa Parks

Embarking on a safari is a dream for many travellers. When you choose to explore both East Africa and Southern Africa, you open the door to a world of diverse landscapes, wildlife, and cultures. Santaviva offers exclusive safari adventures that combine the best of these two regions, creating an unforgettable journey tailored just for you.

What to Expect on a Safari Across East and Southern Africa

When you travel with Santaviva, expect more than just a typical safari. You will experience carefully planned itineraries that highlight the unique features of each park and region. East Africa is famous for its vast savannahs and the Great Migration and Gorilla Trekking, while Southern Africa offers dramatic landscapes and a variety of wildlife habitats.

East Africa Highlights

In East Africa, parks like the Serengeti in Tanzania and the Maasai Mara in Kenya are iconic. Here, you can witness the spectacular migration of wildebeest and zebras, a natural event that draws wildlife enthusiasts from around the world. The open plains make it easier to spot the Big Five: lions, elephants, buffalo, leopards, and rhinos.

You will also have the chance to meet local Maasai communities, learning about their traditions and way of life. The combination of wildlife and culture enriches your safari experience.

Southern Africa Highlights

Southern Africa offers a different but equally captivating safari experience. Parks such as Kruger National Park in South Africa and Chobe National Park in Botswana provide diverse ecosystems, from dense bush to riverfronts. This region is known for its excellent game viewing, especially for elephants and hippos.

The landscapes here are varied, including the Okavango Delta’s waterways and the dramatic cliffs of the Drakensberg Mountains. You can enjoy game drives, boat safaris, and walking safaris, each offering a unique perspective on the wildlife and environment.
