the most intrepid traveler. Our Tours and Safaris in Africa bring our passengers
up-close-and-personal with Africa’s abundant Animal Kingdom, the ‘Big 5’, the
traditions and cultures of the many nations that populate the continent, and the
true essence that is Africa.
2AFRIKA has forged bonds over many years with
several prominent hotel, safari lodge and beach resort chains. They are, amongst
others, Sarova Hotels, not only one of the largest chains of hotels and lodges
in Kenya and East Africa but also also one of the most innovative. The Sarova
fine properties are the Sarova Stanley and the Sarova Panafric in Nairobi. On
safari, you’ll find Sarova Mara Game Camp in the Maasai Mara National Reserve
(Masai Mara National Park), and Sarova Shaba Game Lodge in Shaba National
Reserve (AKA Shaba National Park, Shaba National Game Reserve). Sarova Lion Hill
Game Lodge is a perfect stop in Lake Nakuru National Park in the Great Rift
Valley. Sarova Taita Hills Game Lodge, located in Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary
adjacent to Tsavo West National Park, is a perfect combination for passengers
extending a safari to luxuriate on the Kenya coastline where the Sarova
Whitesands Beach Resort and Spa is the perfect place to land. Kenya by contrast
is the perfect destination in East Africa to enjoy an affordable safari in one
or more of the famous game parks followed by a relaxing beach vacation. Most
2AFRIKA
passengers travel to Kenya by way of Virgin Atlantic Airways via London to
Nairobi. Oftentimes those passengers enjoy a stop in London and there, we
recommend Sarova Hotels London. Sarova Hotels offer a great selection of special
offers at their hotels. From The Rembrandt in the centre of London to the Abbey
in the Worcestershire countryside, there is something to suit all occasions.
Throughout time, the haunting image of the East African landscape has captured
the hearts and souls of many. Staying at a Sopa Lodge when on safari in Kenya is
intoxicating. So too does one experience the same euphoric sensation when on
safari in Tanzania. Both the Maasai Mara National Reserve (Masai Mara National
Park) and the Serengeti National Park are home to the big five and the famous
great migration or wildebeest migration. The best time to experience the great
migration is generally from mid-July through the end of September. The
Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge is perched on the rim of the collapsed volcano, the
Ngorongoro Crater, a world heritage site, often referred to as the eighth wonder
of the world. Nestled in the acacia woodland on the edge of the escarpment
overlooking the plains of the southwestern Serengeti National Park, one of the
most famous parks in the world, and host to the largest and most spectacular
annual migration of the wildebeest, you’ll find the Serengeti Sopa Lodge.
Tarangire Sopa Lodge hides among the kopjes of Tarangire National Park,
surrounded by ancient baobab trees! It is the home of the greatest concentration
of elephants in Africa, and other game including the elusive leopard. In Kenya’s
Masai land, the Amboseli Sopa Lodge sits on the foothills of Africa’s highest
mountain, Mt. Kilimanjaro whilst located on the slopes of Oloongams Hills;
you’ll find the Mara Sopa Lodge, one of the first lodges to be built in the
Masai Mara National Reserve.
A walking safari in the African bushveld is a most rewarding experience.
Thrilling, up close and personal, an African Bush Walk revives the adventure,
luxury, and romance of a ‘Classic Hemingway Safari’. A walk in the African
bushveld will without doubt heighten every one of your senses and you will
return revitalized and rejuvenated for an African Bush Walk is unlike anything
you can imagine! Take an African Bush Walk – you’ll be so pleased that you
did.The extent of our expertise in South Africa covers all nine provinces. We
feature Gauteng, Mpumalanga, Eastern Cape, Western Cape, Northern Cape, Free
State, North West Province, KwaZulu-Natal, and Limpopo Province. In South
Africa, we encourage our passengers to visit Johannesburg, Cape Town, Port
Elizabeth, East London, and Durban. The most popular routes we recommend at the
Garden Route, which stretches from Cape Town in the west to Port Elizabeth in
the east. There’s the Natal Midland’s Meander in KwaZulu-Natal, famous for local
craftsman's work, accommodation, quaint shops & fine dining amongst the
magnificent scenery of the Natal Midlands.
Visitors to Cape Town must see to it that they visit Table
Mountain, drive the Cape Peninsula, visit the Cape of Good Hope where the Indian
Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean meet, stop off at Simons Town and in particular,
Boulders Beach to visit the African Penguin Colony who have made this beach
their home. Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, the Bo-Kaap, the Company Gardens –
Cape Town, the V&A (Victoria and Alfred Waterfront), and a cultural trip to
Robben Island where President Nelson Mandela was imprisoned,
are
perfect sightseeing attractions for visitors and local Capetonians alike. Both
Johannesburg and Cape Town have a very proud Jewish Community and our expertise
and long forged connections enables us to arrange Kosher Tours and Safaris in
South Africa. Johannesburg, the City of Gold is becoming increasingly popular
for passengers wanting to explore more of the ‘living history’ of South Africa.
2AFRIKA
has found the perfect ‘spot’ called Melrose where safety is of primary concern.
And we have chosen to let our passengers stay there at one of either The African
Pride Melrose Arch Hotel or the Protea Hotel Fire & Ice. Both properties are
perfectly situated for shopping, alfresco dining, walking around in comfort and
they are both the perfect departure point for sightseeing tours of Johannesburg
and the surrounding areas. The most sought after sights of the city of
Johannesburg are Soweto (the South Western Township), the Apartheid Museum, the
Origin’s Center, and a little further afield, Maropeng – the Cradle of
Humankind, Sterkfontein Caves and Lesedi Cultural Village where visitors can
enjoy a sampling of local culture. Nearby, there is Sun City – a resort of
immense proportion – and Pretoria, the nation’s Capital City, the site where
President Nelson Mandela became South Africa’s first black president. Pretoria
boasts interesting sights like the Union Buildings, Church Square, and much more
to combine interesting sightseeing opportunities.To
the east, our collection includes the world-famous Kruger National Park. Fondly
known as Kruger by many, the Kruger National Park is home to a wide variety of
African wildlife. However, the smaller more intimate safari lodges and game
parks that border the Kruger National Park is where we find our best deals.
Kapama Private Game Reserve is a prime example of
exotic luxury on safari in Africa. To the north of South Africa, we offer a fine
range of safaris in Zambia, safaris in Botswana, and safaris in Zimbabwe. These
safaris are all affordable safaris and cover Chobe National Park, the South
Luangwa Valley, and the Okavango Delta. Recently we have added Bumi Hills on
Lake Kariba in Zimbabwe and The Hide in Hwange National Park to our collection,
as a perfect add-on to a stay at the Victoria Falls. In the area, Chobe Safari
Lodge is one of our preferred properties of choice followed by Chobe Mowana
Lodge. Just recently introduced is a magnificent Okavango Delta circuit, which
includes the popular Chief’s Island, the Moremi Game Reserve, the Makgadikgadi,
and Nxai Pans. Oddballs’ and Santawani feature prominently in our Okavango Delta
collection where the affordable prices come into effect in the green season.
Now, you can make Footsteps in Africa your way by combining our affordable
Okavango Delta Safaris with our equally affordable Chobe Mowana Lodge short
stays followed by a visit to the Victoria Falls, which spans Zimbabwe and
Zambia. In Zimbabwe, our preferred safari lodge is unquestionably the Victoria
Falls Safari Lodge whilst on the Zambia side of the Victoria Falls, we prefer
the Sun International properties of The Royal Livingstone and the Zambezi Sun,
both on the banks of the Zambezi River.Zambia on the other hand evokes walking
safaris and there, our preferred safari destination is the South Luangwa Valley
where your Zambia Safari is limited only by your imagination. In the South
Luangwa Valley, you will find a surprise around every corner – indeed, a very
intoxicating African country that will heighten your every sense.
