Africa

Overview

Africa Africa is an amazing experience for any visitor. It is a continent rich in history and diversity from its people to the land itself. As you go from country to country, no landscape, village tribe or wildlife is the same. Parts of Africa boast scenery so spectacular they’ll blow your mind, but the essence of this incredible continent isn’t only in any desert, mountain or lake. It’s also the spirit of the people – dancing, singing and laughing – that infects so many visitors with a travel bug so powerful they’ll never stop going back. The most common way to visit Africa is on safari. Safari means "long journey" in Swahili, and is now used to describe an exploratory expedition for observing animals. There are numerous ways to "safari" in Africa. Road safaris can be conducted by open 4WD vehicles, mini-bus or coach tours or in some areas by driving yourself. Fly-in safaris are perfect for areas of Africa which are difﬁcult to get to by road, or if your time is limited. Rail safaris are another great touring option with many short journeys on luxury trains such as Rovos Rail or The Blue Train, and longer itineraries on The Shongololo Express, which provide a variety of sightseeing options.

November to April. East Africa has two dry seasons – December to February/March and June to October. June to September is the dry time for Central Africa. However don’t automatically avoid the warmer wetter months. In some countries it only rains for a few hours each day and the landscape becomes lush and green, and the bird watching is at its best. Although you can see Africa’s spectacular wildlife year round, we have selected some key times and places to encounter these creatures great and small. U The Serengeti in Tanzania, although good all year round, has the best viewing between January and March. U The Masai Mara in Kenya has the greatest game concentration between July and October. U The Okavango Delta in Botswana is popular when ﬂooded from April to October, however the bird-life is at its peak from December to March. U In Southern Africa the winter months, May to September, are drier with the thinner grasses and scarce waterholes, making it easier to spot game. U For general sightseeing around Cape Town and the Garden Route, the summer months of November to April are preferred.

Camping safaris are perfect for the active traveller. We offer a full range of styles from the budget overland safaris to the mid-range non-participation serviced camping to the luxurious Hemingway variety complete with deluxe bedding, furniture and en-suite bathrooms. For those extra adventurous, a walking safari allows you to get up close and personal with the bush as an experienced ranger escorts you safely through Africa’s wilderness. Throughout Africa there are many National Parks and private game reserves where you can base yourself for game viewing. Most private reserves operate game drives in open 4WD safari vehicles with a professional game ranger, with some also offering nature walks and boat trips. Accommodation in the reserves comes in a variety of styles including luxury tented camps, tree houses and exclusive lodges furnished in either African themes or the more colonial “Out of Africa” style. National Parks may also offer private lodges but sometimes have restrictions in the type of vehicle used for safari, and game viewing may be limited to daylight hours.

WHEN TO GO Most visitors tend to plan their trips to Africa around the dry seasons as the game is easier to spot in the thinner grasses and congregating around fewer waterholes. Generally Southern Africa is dry from May to September, temperatures start to rise in October and then rains from 6

Overview

Africa

The highlights THE BIG FIVE The Big Five originated from the early game hunters indicating the elephant, black rhino, buffalo, leopard and lion to be the most difﬁcult animals to hunt by foot. The Big Five are undoubtedly the biggest highlight of anyone’s ﬁrst safari.

KRUGER NATIONAL PARK Kruger National Park is one of the most famous and biggest wildlife parks in the world, with over 1200 species of ﬂora and fauna. There are a number of ways to visit the park including mini–bus tours from Johannesburg, walking safaris, camping tours and a wide selection of lodges to stay at.

CAPE TOWN & THE GARDEN ROUTE Cape Town is known as the "Fairest Cape" as it falls under the backdrop of Table Mountain, offering spectacular scenery and sophistication. Cape Town provides a smorgasbord of activity from shopping in the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront, club hopping through the city's sophisticated bars to surﬁng the rugged coastline. Heading east out of Cape Town is the Garden Route, a beautiful stretch of countryside dotted with charming villages and holiday resorts – perfect for the self-drive enthusiast.

VICTORIA FALLS Victoria Falls, known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya "the smoke that thunders", is located on the majestic Zambezi River within the boundaries of Zimbabwe and Zambia. By far the greatest falls in Africa; there is no question as to why Victoria Falls is one of the Natural Wonders of the World.

THE OKAVANGO DELTA The Okavango Delta is a beautiful water wilderness area with a maze of lagoons, channels and islands. Experience the Delta with both a water based and land based adventure, allowing you to take in all angles of this pristine environment.

EAST AFRICA East Africa Kenya and Tanzania are famous for their annual wildebeest and zebra migration. The vast plains are starkly contrasted with palmed fringed beaches and the snow capped summit of Mt Kilimanjaro.

South Africa

Overview

South Africa City No other country can beat South Africa’s diversity. Foodies, adrenaline junkies, historical buffs, wildlife wanderers, sports fanatics and fashionistas will all ﬁnd a connection with South Africa and its wonderland of experiences. Whether you’re getting up close and personal with lions in Kruger National Park, enjoying an intimate shark diving experience with Cape Coast’s Great White Sharks, taking in the stunning views from atop Table or Drakensburg Mountains, sipping the worldfamous delights of the Franschhoek and Stellenbosch wine regions or visiting the urban hubs of Johannesburg or Durban and the country's charming towns whilst meeting locals in the numerous unique cultural villages, South Africa takes its rightful place as one of the most diverse, adventure and leisure holiday destinations on earth. Go almost anywhere in South Africa and experience the ultimate combination of nature, wildlife, culture, adventure, heritage and urban vibe. South Africa is such a geographically diverse country with mountains, valleys, oceans, scenic coastlines, wide open spaces, semideserts and bushveld, dotted with bustling cities; and this is why it's such a unique and unforgettable experience.

OUR TOP PICKS FOR SOUTH AFRICA 1 Kruger National Park This world-renowned park of nearly 2 million hectares features 16 ecosystems. Spot the Big Five on a 4WD game drive or walking safari. 2 Cape Town Relish in the cosmopolitan chic of one of the world's most beautiful cities, famous for its scenery, Table Mountain, shopping, nightlife and food and wine. 3 The Garden Route Known as South Africa’s Eden. Journey past beaches, rocky headlands, leafy forests and dramatic river cut gorges. Ideal for outdoor enthusiasts. 4 Winelands Discover the joys of award-winning wines and cuisine along any of the beautiful Cape wine routes. 5 Zululand Explore the kingdom of the Zulu people with its warm Indian Ocean, sub tropical climate, Drakensberg mountain range, game viewing and historical and cultural diversity.

WHEN TO GO South Africa is a year round destination. Wildlife viewing is best in the northern areas of Kruger, Gauteng and Limpopo during the winter months of May to September. The southern parts of Cape Town, Garden Route, Eastern Cape are best during the summer months, October to March, when the temperature can reach 28-30ºC or higher and rainfall is low. The warm waters of the east coast make for almost year-round swimming. Winter is mild, except in the highest parts of the country.

Sun City Johannesburg

The scenic wonders are legendary. With thousands of adventures, there is something for everyone, from mountain treks, to taking advantage of the nearly 3000 km of coastline by snorkelling, scuba diving, surﬁng, turtle tracking, whale watching and ﬁshing, to ticking off one of the universal bucket list "to do’s", an open 4WD, walking or elephant back safari. The pleasant weather even invites you to enjoy the wonders of the outdoors and play golf all year round! But be warned, watching wildlife is addictive! Whether you’re observing giraffes linger at tree tops, a lioness yawning in the shade surrounded by her cubs, patting a cheetah or feeding an elephant, meeting these beautiful animals or watching the famous Big Five in their natural surroundings is never dull. The must see locations include the greater Kruger area and private game reserves such as Madikwe. Be prepared to leave your ordinary behind.

Botswana

Overview

Botswana Botswana is known for having some of the best wilderness and wildlife areas on the African continent. With a full 38 percent of its total land area devoted to national parks, reserves and wildlife management areas – for the most part unfenced, allowing animals to roam wild and free – travel through many parts of the country has the feeling of moving through an immense nature wonderland. Experience the stunning beauty of the world’s largest intact inland Delta – the Okavango; the unimaginable vastness of the world’s second largest game reserve – the Central Kalahari Game Reserve; the isolation and other-worldliness of the Makgadikgadi saltpans; and the astoundingly proliﬁc wildlife of the Chobe National Park. The Okavango Delta, home to one of the world's unique ecosystems, is a wetland within a desert, being surrounded by the Kalahari Desert. Each summer the rains in Angola ﬂood the Okavango Delta forming an immense wetland that supports and sustains a huge diversity of wildlife.

OUR TOP PICKS FOR BOTSWANA 1 Okavango Delta Glide through the watery wilderness in a mokoro (dugout canoe). 2 Moremi Game Reserve Explore the pristine wilderness by open 4WD vehicle. 3 Chobe National Park View large herds of elephant and buffalo from your game drive vehicle or boat. 4 Central Kalahari Game Reserve Take a walk with San Bushman trackers and learn about their fascinating culture and customs.

WHEN TO GO The annual ﬂoods into the Okavango Delta begin between January and March, a gentle rather than spectacular process, and the waters take several months to reach their southern extremity. The region is at its best from April through to September, though main channels remain fairly full through the year. December to March is a less popular time to visit Botswana due to the rains that cause the animals to disperse over wider areas and not around the water holes, however this is when the bird life is at its best.

At the heart of the Okavango is the Moremi Game Reserve, an 1800 km2 expanse of pristine wilderness including Chief’s Island. It is not only game that brings the visitor to the Delta region; it is a treasure for the naturalist, photographer, ﬁsherman and lover of solitude and beauty. There are plenty of buffalo, water-adapted lechwe and antelope, hippo and crocodile and over 400 different species of bird.

Kasane CHOBE NATIONAL PARK MOREMI RESERVE OKAVANGO DELTA

Located 100 km from Victoria Falls, Chobe National Park has the highest concentration of elephants in Africa as well as large herds of zebras, buffalo and lions. This area is very different from the Okavango and should be included in every Botswana itinerary so travellers enjoy a varied and balanced experience.

Maun

Nata MAKGADIKGADI & NXAI PAN NATIONAL PARK

BOTSWANA CENTRAL KALAHARI GAME RESERVE

The Kalahari Desert is a real wilderness area covering about two thirds of Botswana. It is largely made up of grasslands, salt pans and acacia forests, supporting quite a diverse if sparse range of wildlife.

Botswana's Makgadikgadi and Naxi Pans are two of the largest saltpans in the world and they transform from white dust-dry basins to a breathtaking sight of pelicans, waders and ﬂamingos in their thousands when the rains come. AVERAGE MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE (°C) – based on Maun JAN

OverviewTour Zambia, Accommodation Zimbabwe Type& Country Malawi

Zambia,Zimbabwe & Malawi By far the greatest falls in Africa, and a natural wonder of the world, Victoria Falls links Zimbabwe, Zambia and Botswana. Described by explorer Dr. David Livingstone as “scenes so magical they must have been gazed upon by angels in flight”, the falls have been a major tourist attraction for over 100 years. Having its banks on both the Zimbabwe and Zambian side of the falls, the Zambezi River is internationally acclaimed as the best one-day white water rafting trips in the world. Other activities in the area include canoeing, river cruises, flights over the falls, bungy jumping, walking with lion cubs and elephant back safaris. Two hours by road from Victoria Falls is Hwange National Park, another of Africa’s great game reserves, considered one of the few great elephant sanctuaries left in Africa. Covering nearly 15,000 km2 it sustains a greater variety and density of wildlife than any other conservation area in the world. The Lower Zambezi National Park in Zambia is a lovely region of wooded hills, riverine forests and valleys dense with acacia and mopane. Abundant with game, activities include canoe trips, boat cruises, fishing, game drives and walking.

OUR TOP PICKS FOR ZAMBIA, ZIMBABWE AND MALAWI 1 Victoria Falls A spectacular sight of awe-inspiring beauty and grandeur. 2 Hwange National Park Enjoy a game drive in Zimbabwe’s largest national park, home to impressive elephant herds. 3 Lower Zambezi Paddle a canoe along the Lower Zambezi and look out for ﬁsh eagles, hippo, elephant and more. 4 South Luangwa National Park Take a walk on the wild side in Zambia’s great wildlife sanctuary. 5 Lake Malawi Swim, snorkel, scuba dive, kayak or simply relax and soak up the sun on one of the lake’s many sandy beaches.

WHEN TO GO The drier and cooler months May to September are generally a good time for game viewing, but during the warmer wetter months of October to March the landscape becomes lush and green, and the bird watching is at its best. November’s rain turns the region into a nursery, as young of all kinds are born and they thrive on the good grazing. The onset of the rains does make the remote areas very difﬁcult to explore and many seasonal camps are closed.

Bordering Zambia is Lake Kariba, Zimbabwe, a great inland sea created by damming the Zambezi River. The lake and its shoreline is a well-developed playground for game ﬁshing, yachting and canoeing while observing the wildlife on its shores. The neighbouring areas of Matusadona and Mana Pools also offer outstanding game viewing and bird watching.

The South Luangwa National Park in Zambia covers an area of 9,050 km2 and is regarded as the home of walking safaris. Great numbers of buffalo, giraffe, zebra, impala and kudu roam the plains; waterbuck, reedbuck and hippo haunt the riverine stretches. Carnivores are represented by, among others, lion, leopard, spotted hyena, wild dog and a number of nocturnal predators. The park boasts an impressive 455 bird species including raptors and large waterbirds.

Overview

Namibia

Namibia The ageless land of Namibia is a land of contrasts with spectacular desert scenery and abundant wildlife. Home to 13 distinct cultural groups, which all maintain their ancient traditions, the country’s Germanic colonial past is reﬂected in the architecture of most major towns. It boasts lots of sunshine, vast open spaces, a sparse population, an interesting variety of ﬂora and fauna, and an extensive choice of parks and accommodation. A variety of activities can be experienced including dune biking, game viewing, white-river rafting, and coastal and freshwater angling. Swakopmund is a charming, quaint town surrounded by desert and dunes with sweeping promenades, graceful buildings and beautifully kept gardens.

OUR TOP PICKS FOR NAMIBIA 1 Sossusvlei Climb the mammoth sand dunes or get a birds’ eye view from a hot air balloon. 2 Etosha National Park A wildlife oasis in the middle of a semi-desert region. 3 Damaraland Track the endangered black rhino on foot. 4 Swakopmund Namibia’s coastal town, known for its adventure activities.

WHEN TO GO The best time to visit is during the winter dry season from May to October when you can expect clear, warm and sunny days and cold, clear nights. During the rainy season between January and March, temperatures can become hot and roads may be difﬁcult to negotiate but you can witness the impressive desert bloom into ﬂower.

Etosha National Park – The central feature of the park is the Etosha Pan, a 5,000 km² depression of shimmering mirages, and an oasis in the middle of a semi-desert region. A huge variety of wildlife including the black and white rhino, the oryx, lion, cheetah, hyena and jackal can be observed. The Caprivi Strip is a total contrast to the rest of Namibia with its rich tapestry of woodlands, ﬂoodplain grasslands and waterways. In this area the Mahango Game Park is renowned for its large concentrations of elephant and Mamili National Park for its proliﬁc birdlife.

The 50,000 km² Namib-Naukluft National Park, at 80 million years old, is believed to be the oldest desert in the world. Located here is Sossusvlei, with its monumentally high dunes, their sinuous crests and warm colours changing as the day waxes and wanes. These gigantic mountains of sand are a haven for photographers with their colours ranging from pale apricot to brick orange and deep red.

East Africa

Overview

East Africa East Africa offers some of Africa’s best wildlife attractions as well as golden beaches, coral reefs, mountains and deserts, and a wealth of fascinating tribal rituals. Kenya and Tanzania share their borders and between them they have created the world’s largest wildlife sanctuary; the Masai Mara Reserve in Kenya and the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. These parks are most famous for the greatest wildlife spectacle on the planet “The Great Migration.” Thousands of wildebeest and zebras migrate between the two, constantly driven by their search for fresh grazing. The massive herds are closely followed by predators (lion, hyena and cheetah), making the most of every opportunity to catch their next meal.

WHEN TO GO The best time to travel to East Africa is during the dry season. East Africa has two dry seasons – December to February/March and June to October. For those hoping to get a chance of seeing the migrating herds in the Serengeti and Masai Mara it goes like this: After the short November rains, the wildebeest and zebra herds gather in their thousands on the Serengeti’s southern plains and the Ngorongoro Highlands. Then around April they head towards the western corridor of the Serengeti, where many overﬂow into the Masai Mara around July/August. In late October/November they move south again. This yearly phenomenon also affects the lives of many other species, who rely on the migratory herds for their survival.

Uganda, landlocked in the heart of Africa, is a place of scenic beauty with rolling hills, rugged mountains and huge rivers and lakes. This special place is home to half the population of the rare mountain gorilla, a healthy chimpanzee and primate population, and many other animals and birds.

Madagascar

Overview

Madagascar City The unique island of Madagascar is unlike anywhere else on earth. Situated just 400 km from the coast of Africa, it is the world’s fourth largest island and home to an amazing array of ﬂora and fauna, an astonishing biological diversity and dramatic scenery. Most famous for its 70 plus species of lemurs, these bright eyed mammals are easily seen on any tour of the island. Madagascar is also known for its orchid species, carnivorous pitcher plants, baobab trees, geckoes, chameleons and the giant elephant bird. While wildlife is a major attraction, the island is also the world’s main producer of vanilla beans and boasts spectacular beaches offering tranquillity, sparkling clear turquoise water and excellent al fresco dining – on the sand. The Malagasy people are a melange of Africa and Asia, and are proud to be from such a racially varied and culturally rich country. Their culture is immersed in taboo and magic, instilled in caves, waterfalls, animals and even some material objects with supernatural attributes.

WHEN TO GO

Tulear Anakao

Because Madagascar is so large, it experiences several climates simultaneously but, in general, the only time to avoid is January to March, when heavy rain can make many roads muddy and impassable. The best time to travel in most areas is April to May and September to November, where the temperatures range between 25° – 30° during the day and 16° – 18° at night. The coolest time to travel is May to October. During this time the Central Highlands including Antananarivo can experience very cold winter nights. 104

Responsible Tourism

Responsible Tourism At Adventure World we promote responsible travel to areas that conserve the natural environment and improve the well-being of those indigenous people. Working closely with our local ground operators, several who have won the prestigious AITO (Association of Independent Tour Operators) Responsible Tourism Award, we aim to promote responsible, sustainable tourism in all areas we visit. Tourism can be a positive force; notably providing income for poor communities and backing conservation by demonstrating those delicate habitats and their animal inhabitants are worth more to local people intact.

Understanding the potential harm that can come from promoting tourism through many of the delicate environments in which we operate is reﬂected in our ideology of 'leave no trace' tourism and we are continually monitoring our ground operations to ensure they meet with our high standards. Adventure World also offers a range of Volunteer Tours to various destinations, where you can combine a rewarding volunteer program with an exciting holiday.
