Why is Cape Town a perfect African safari extension?

why-is-cape-town-a-perfect-african-safari-extension

Cape Town is not the hub to the southern Africa safari destinations, but it’s location in close proximity to Botswana, Namibia and Kruger Park makes it an ideal African safari extension for these regions. Besides that, Cape Town offers so much. Table Mountain, the Waterfront, a buzzing city with shops and restaurants, the Winelands just one hour away and the dramatic coastline with the Cape Point and not to forget the penguins. And the weather, at least in summer, is stunning, inviting for a day on the beach or waterborne activities.

Cape Town is so completely different to the safari part of your African holiday, yet the perfect closure to reflect on the wildlife adventures in the African bush.

Enjoy Cape Town!

Want active African safari extension?

One could think an African safari is only sitting on a game drive vehicle doing nothing, but this is not quite the case. However, it can feel good to do some leg stretching in combination with the safari.

A beach safari extension is on first sight just lying in the sun, but of course there are many watersports that can be done. For the sportier Africa visitor a combination of safari and climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro or Mt. Kenya can be ideal. Both are surrounded by the best safari destinations in Tanzania and Kenya with excellent Big Five sightings. It is also an option to explore the savannah on horseback. That is active and with the traditional safari feeling from the early settlers.

All can be combined to crate the ideal safari and activity experience and every safari destination offers opportunities to do that.

Enjoy active Africa adventures!

The name David Livingstone might ring a bell for many people, but who was he again and what was he doing?

The mighty Victoria Falls on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe were discovered and named by him. He was an extraordinary explorer of unknown territory in Africa. Visitors to the Victoria Falls will see his name everywhere, starting with the arrival at Livingstone Airport. He is connected to many
African safari holidays and it is worth learning more about him.
