Your First African Safari: East Africa or Southern Africa? A Luxury Traveller’s Guide
Posted on Fri February 20, 2026.
Planning your first African safari is both exciting and overwhelming. East Africa and Southern Africa each offer extraordinary wildlife, beautiful lodges, and deeply memorable experiences, yet the feeling of travelling through these regions is very different.
The right choice depends on what you imagine when you picture Africa. Vast golden plains filled with migrating herds, or a private wilderness where your vehicle is the only one at a leopard sighting.
This guide will help you choose the safari that best matches your travel style, expectations, and priorities.
