More about the show...

With performances on the World Entertainment Stage and nine Destinations Sensations stages around the show, you won't be far away from a cultural experience.

For a glimpse of our plans ..

• We'll have an update on some our tried and tested trips and simple safari modules and short breaks that include traditional venues and circuits (Victoria Falls, Cape Town, the Okavango, the Serengeti).  We'll be on hand to discuss some exciting new developments in Victoria Falls.

• Zambia is still southern Africa's number one safari destination - we have some very special ideas for lower Zambezi canoe safaris and our walking safaris which offer a simple combination of both the Luangwa and Zambezi valleys.

• We have a fresh selection of safaris using small seasonal bush camps and lodges located in off the beaten path spots including the Moremi, Selinda, the Kalahari, Makgadikgadi Pans, Mana Pools, Matusadona, the upper and lower Zambezi, Kafue, North and South Luangwa valley, Mahale, Katavi, Ruaha, Selous and northern Kenya.  We have some really exciting developments happening in Tanzania and Kenya - make an appointment with Trish, Jackie or John.

• Once again we'll be hosting a few privately guided photographic and specialist safaris in Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana, Namibia, Malawi, Gabon, Congo, Central African Republic, Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda between May and October.  Space is always limited on these trips so please make appointments with Trish or John

Meet the Experts Theatre...

Join us on Sunday 5 February in Theatre 2 from 14:00 to 14:30.

We'll be presenting a simplified approach to planning an African Safari depending on whether you’re a first-time visitor or a seasoned traveller.

John will review East and Southern Africa and cover the “Where, why and when for first-timers” with suggestions on the best choices at different times of year.

• In East Africa a general overview of Tanzania and Kenya is presented. The annual wildebeest migration is explained briefly with some advice on best timing and how to combine a migration safari with other wildlife spots and the East African coast.
   

• Southern Africa has great diversity, excellent wildlife with a broad range of safari options to suit all tastes and budgets. An overview of the seasons, main destinations with highlights from Zambia, Botswana, Namibia, Zimbabwe, South Africa and Mozambique is presented.

The discussion continues with suggestions and tips on how seasoned travellers might satisfy specific interests in birding, primates, big game, history and culture and more.  We'll touch on some of the less mainstream options available in east, southern and central Africa.

So whether you’re looking for something active or sedate, mainstream or unusual anywhere in Africa this is a presentation not to be missed.  [Advance bookings are recommended]
