Africa Safari Holidays

Nothing compares to the transformative experience of an African safari holiday; the thrill of witnessing the rare melanistic leopard stalking through Kenya's golden grasslands or watching elephants gather at a pristine watering hole in Botswana's Eden-like wilderness.

Whether your dream safari holiday takes you birding along Uganda's dramatic landscapes or tracking endangered rhinos through South Africa's private reserves, our award-winning experts will craft your perfect luxury African adventure.

At Scott Dunn, we've cultivated exclusive relationships with conservation-focused lodges and camps across Africa that work daily with local communities to protect wildlife and preserve cultural traditions. Our commitment to animal welfare means every safari holiday we design supports responsible tourism that makes a meaningful difference.

From secluded luxury camps, reachable only by private charter, to soulful walking safaris that whisper the secrets of the wild, we craft bespoke safari holidays for those who crave the extraordinary. Whether orchestrating a multi-generational family odyssey across Kenya or designing an intimate, exclusive couples’ retreat through South Africa’s golden savannas, our expert touch and handpicked sanctuaries promise a safari experience that transcends expectation.

Our Family Safari Holidays

As true family experts, we understand how to craft experiences where every generation thrives. And our bespoke African journeys are no different, as we seamlessly balance adventure with comfort, whether you’re travelling with kids under 10, independent teens or multiple generations.

Our meticulous curation begins with pairing your family with the ideal lodge - properties chosen for exceptional children's facilities and family-focused amenities. While older family members embark on private game drives, your little explorers enjoy expertly designed kids' clubs, led by passionate local guides who transform learning into adventure. Or enjoy a specially curated child-friendly game drive with magical wildlife encounters that captivate young imaginations while satisfying adult expectations.

We understand that luxury family travel means different things to different family members. Our expertise lies in harmoniously weaving together diverse needs, creating seamless experiences where parents achieve safari aspirations and children discover Africa's wonder through age-appropriate adventures.

  • When is the best time to take an Africa tour and safari?

    Africa offers great experiences all year round, but the best time to visit depends on what you wish to see and do.

    April to October is considered the dry season and is the ideal time to view an abundance of game on safari. If you're visiting the north of the region, you might wish to travel in the cooler seasons of spring and autumn, although there can be heavy rain in Kenya.

    Our travel specialists can help you choose the best time of year to take a safari tour based on your preferred activities and experiences.

    The best destination for you depends on what you wish to see, who you’re travelling with and what activities you wish to participate in. There are some incredible locations to take a luxury safari tour, immerse yourself in the rich African culture and experience thrilling adventures.

    Kenya offers some of the best opportunities to see the "big five" and is a popular destination for luxury safari tours. You'll also discover incredible, striking landscapes, serene lakes and awe-inspiring nature reserves. Botswana is also a sanctuary for an abundance of birds as well as zebra, with its inland delta providing a unique lush and diverse landscape, perfect for an African safari.
