African Safari & Tour FAQ

Questions frequently asked by potential visitors to the Southern part of Africa.

Why should I choose Africa for my vacation?

For most travelers, vacation is a break from daily life — a chance to be inspired by new surroundings, cultures, and landscapes. If that's your idea of a relaxing escape, few regions compare to Southern Africa, where remote wilderness and rich diversity meet accessibility and comfort.

A luxury African safari offers the perfect blend of adventure and indulgence. Picture sunrise over Namibia’s dune sea, guided walks through Botswana’s Chobe River region as elephant mothers shield their calves, or evenings in Kruger National Park — sipping wine by the fire, surrounded by the sounds of the wild.

Whether you’re exploring on one of our private tours in South Africa and Namibia accompanied by an African Sky guide, or setting out on a self-paced journey, lodging options range from cozy and authentic to ultra-luxurious. Experiences are just as varied — from the urban energy of Cape Town to the endless salt flats of Etosha, from lounging on Mozambique’s beaches to tracking lions on foot in the Sabi Sand. All of our journeys can be tailored to your requirements.

What are the most popular trip types?
A large variety of different vacation types are available. These are some of the most popular.
Will a private guide add value to the experience?
The short answer is yes. Though more costly than an unaccompanied trip, the guide’s knowledge of the regions, history, and wildlife behavior will enrich your travels. A knowledgeable guide transforms an itinerary into an immersive experience that is fun, informative, stress-free, and safe.
Will I see the Big Five?
If you visit Kruger National Park or one of the private reserves that form part of Greater Kruger, there is a very high probability of spotting all of the Big Five on a safari of three or more nights. In Botswana's Okavango Delta and Chobe, you are likely to see four of the five, with rhino being the exception and in Namibia’s Etosha National Park, Cape buffalo is the only member of the Big Five that does not occur.
Are safaris suitable for families with children?
Yes, you can definitely bring children on a safari. In fact, many lodges offer programs focused on entertaining and educating the young ones about the wilderness and the importance of conservation. It is not advisable to travel into malaria areas with young children (six and under), which makes the national parks and private reserves in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa an ideal choice, most notably Addo Elephant National Park and Shamwari Private Game Reserve.
What is the best time of year to visit Southern Africa?
The best time to visit Southern Africa depends on what you want to experience. The region has something to offer in every season. May to October, the dry winter season, is perfect for safaris in South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Temperatures are pleasant and wildlife is more concentrated around available water sources. If you would like to enjoy beach holidays, visit wine estates, or go golfing or on coastal adventures, November to March is ideal. This is especially true in Cape Town, Mozambique, and the Garden Route. For natural wonders, February to May showcases Victoria Falls at its most powerful, while August to September brings the spectacular wildflower bloom in Namaqualand and parts of Namibia. In short, every season in Southern Africa has its own highlights, making it a year-round destination where timing your visit around your interests ensures an unforgettable trip.
Should I not rather book with an agent in my country?
Booking directly with African Sky Safaris & Tours ensures you deal with a locally based operator who has decades of first-hand experience in Southern Africa. Most overseas agents rely on third-party information. You benefit from expert, on-the-ground knowledge and tailor-made itineraries crafted by specialists. In addition, booking locally often means better value for money, as you avoid middleman markups.
Do you offer travel tips and advice?
We provide extensive Travel Tips & Advice including medical guidance (malaria precautions, vaccinations, carrying prescriptions), visa & passport requirements, packing suggestions (soft bags, weight limits, layers, insect repellent), money matters (currency, cards, tipping), electricity & adapters, mobile & internet (SIM options, connectivity), and practical notes on arrivals, vehicles used, and itinerary flexibility — so you’re well prepared, comfortable, and safe on your Southern African journey.
