From spotting lions and leopards at Kruger National Park in South Africa, Coastal hikes where we spotted whales and dolphins on the Garden Route, to road tripping through some of the most alien-like landscape across Namibia, including our favourite Deadvlei, these are the moments we’ll never forget.

Some experiences are difficult to put into words. These images capture a glimpse of the moments that made our travels through Africa truly unforgettable.

There is a lot at stake when planning a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Africa to experience a safari. Figuring out the ideal itinerary, determining which safari lodge is right for you, and navigating unfamiliar logistics can feel overwhelming.

After planning our Namibia trip independently and working with a safari tour agency for other parts of Africa, we can confidently say this: Africa is one of the few places where booking through a tour agency is 100% worth it, especially for Safaris!

It saves time, removes stress, and won’t cost you more — at least with the right agencies (like the ones we trust), since their commission comes from the supplier, not your wallet.

We personally love trip planning and enjoyed organizing our Namibia route. But it was a lot of work, and booking some places was surprisingly tricky. If you’d rather have everything arranged for you, we highly recommend one of Africa’s leading Safari Companies,  Safari.com. 

They run unforgettable safaris across Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, and more. Whether you’re dreaming of witnessing the Great Migration, tracking gorillas, joining a photographic safari, or planning the ultimate honeymoon adventure, they have a tour for it.
