Classic Safaris

Astounding Safaris:

• Hold on tight to the 4×4’s rails during a classic game drive through the bush, where the long savannah grasses brush your calves as your expert driver/guide tracks the Big Five through the sprawling wilderness
• Ground yourself in the landscapes of Zambia or Kenya on a mobile walking safari, trekking past watering holes, rivers, and wide open plains each day—and dining under the stars each night
• Paddle through the lush watery world of Botswana’s Okavango Delta in your dugout canoe, gliding past hippos, crocodiles, elephants—and the occasional big cat crouching among the reeds
• Africa is a photographer’s paradise—capture the continent’s colors and creatures on a photography-based safari through otherworldly landscapes, like Namibia’s stark desert, and regions teeming with wildlife, like East Africa’s Serengeti and Masai Mara

Conservation and Wildlife Encounters

• Visit an elephant orphanage in South Africa, where you’ll meet—and play with!—orphaned baby elephants and work with the rehabilitation team that takes care of these magnificent creatures
• Tag along with an anti-poaching ranger unit in Zimbabwe as they patrol wildlife preserves, sussing out wire snares, recording spotted game, and working to make the region safer for all animals who call it home
• Trek deep into the jungles of Uganda, Rwanda, or the Congo to search for gorillas; observe and photograph these gentle giants in their natural habitats of misty bamboo forests and volcanic slopes

Vibrant Cultural Experiences

• Visit Africa’s indigenous tribes—like the remote Omo Valley tribes in southern Ethiopia—to observe their customs and traditions, passed down through the centuries
• Meet the San Bushmen, the oldest inhabitants of southern Africa and expert hunter gatherers, in the Kalahari to learn about their tracking techniques and their vast knowledge of the flora that blankets this unforgiving landscape
• Sip your way across the longest wine trail in the world as you wind through South Africa’s wine country, visiting Dutch Colonial-style estates and lush vineyards set against a backdrop of jagged mountain peaks

Africa by the Water

• Splash your way through the sparkling blue Indian Ocean with a visit to Mauritius, Madagascar, or the Seychelles—snorkel, dive, or kiteboard across the water, or simply relax on the powdery, palm-fringed beach
• Cast your line into the Zambezi River, which flows down from the roaring Victoria Falls, to try your hand at catching the infamously fierce Tigerfish (watch out for their teeth!)
• Spy breaching whales, waddling African penguins, and sun-bathing Cape fur seals on a sail boat safari from Cape Town, South Africa

Medical Missions

• Do you have a passion or an interest in assisting on the ground in Africa. We have a number of foundations that would greatly benefit from educational sessions, surgical interventions, equipment training, medical staff training, the list is endless.
• Donate funds to specific projects about which you are passionate and personally visit the sites/projects that your funds go towards. Cross Africa & Co. has chosen 2 specific organisations to support in our Pay it Forward Program. Further details can be found on the Cross Africa page.
• Get your hands dirty and assist with building medical facilities/structures from the ground up, or assist with repairs and upgrades
• End off your week/days of hard work with a relaxing safari
