Where to Go on a Mobile Safari in Africa

A mobile safari is one of the most adventurous and rewarding ways to experience Africa. Unlike traditional lodge-based safaris, a mobile safari moves around. Camps are set up in remote locations and then taken down as you travel through different parks and reserves. This flexibility allows you to follow wildlife movements, stay closer to nature, and enjoy the romance of sleeping under canvas without sacrificing comfort.

Guests are accompanied by expert guides and a dedicated camp crew who take care of everything, from pitching tents and preparing delicious meals to ensuring safety and comfort. Mobile safaris range from simple, authentic setups to luxurious tented camps with real beds, private bathrooms, and fine dining under the stars.

Botswana Mobile Safaris

When it comes to mobile safari destinations, Botswana is Southern Africa's ideal choice. See all the best parks and reserves, from the haunting salt flats of the Makgadikgadi Pans to the tranquil waterways of the Okavango Delta and the legendary elephant watering holes of the Chobe.

Combination safaris are very popular and feature mobile camps mixed in with stays in permanent lodges. Botswana offers a rich diversity of game viewing activities – expect to explore in traditional safari vehicles, by motorboat and canoe, and on guided nature walks.

East Africa Mobile Safaris

Tanzania and Kenya are Africa's original mobile safari destinations and home to the best of East Africa's Big 5 game viewing. The Great Migration sees a million wildebeest follow an epic path from the rolling plains of the Masai Mara in Kenya across crocodile infested rivers into the grasslands of the Serengeti in Tanzania, and back again.

This natural spectacle is affected by seasonal variations in rainfall and grazing, which makes the flexibility of a mobile camp perfectly suited to putting you in the right place at the right time. Head out on game drives and guided nature walks from your tented camp, and experience superb year-round game viewing.
