With the itinerary already in place, you can focus on the experience rather than the arrangements. Bushtracks brings together your accommodations, expert guides, transfers, and regional flights where included, attending to the details that make travel through Africa both rewarding and effortless.

FIVE COUNTRIES. TEN WAYS TO EXPLORE

From the winding waterways of Botswana’s Okavango Delta and Namibia’s extraordinary desert landscapes to South Africa’s wildlife-rich private reserves, Zambia’s great river valleys, and the thundering Victoria Falls and vast wilderness of Zimbabwe’s Hwange National Park, each journey reveals a different side of Africa.

Ranging from seven to ten days, Explorer Safaris are designed for couples, families, and friends traveling together. Whether you’re experiencing Africa for the first time or returning to explore somewhere new, the collection offers ten distinct ways to discover its landscapes, wildlife, and people.
