What to know before you go
VISITORS
Kruger National Park in South Africa attracts more than 1 million visitors each year, while the Maasai Mara in Kenya welcomes around 300,000 adventure lovers annually. Safaris offer a rare chance to witness wildlife in its natural habitat—no cages, no enclosures. Seeing lions hunt, elephants roam, or giraffes graze under a vast sky is both humbling and exhilarating.
PARKS WITH PERSONALITY
Each African safari destination has a distinct rhythm. In Kenya’s Maasai Mara, the Great Migration thunders across the savanna. Tanzania’s Ngorongoro Crater teems with wildlife in a lush, volcanic basin. South Africa’s Kruger National Park blends rugged terrain with rich biodiversity, while Botswana’s Chobe National Park is known for its massive elephant herds. These parks don’t just showcase wildlife—they tell stories of ecosystems shaped over millennia.
WHAT TO GO FOR
Lion prides lounging in the shade. Giraffes silhouetted against acacia-dotted horizons. Hippos wallowing in river bends. A guided African Safari Tour with Go Ahead means seamless travel, expert-led game drives, and immersive storytelling that brings each destination’s culture and ecology to life. All you have to do is look out the window—and let the wild come to you.
PROMOTING ANIMAL WELFARE
We’re firm believers that experiencing a destination should never come at an animal’s expense. Our in-house team of animal lovers carefully vet every experience on tour regularly. We’re committed to preserving the health, safety, and dignity of all animals, from giant African elephants to tiny sea turtle hatchlings.
