Wildlife Safari Tours

Outstanding, price-friendly African Safari Holidays with the world's biggest adventure tour operator. e.g. Namibia Safari | SW Africa Overland
Okavango Adventure | Tanzania | Gorilla Watching | Kenya Safari

Top of the must-see animal list, though pricey, is one hour spent with a group of mountain gorillas. Sitting in a circle of 15 wild gorillas in a damp, trampled jungle clearing, avoiding eye contact with the silverback in case he decides to pull your arm off, watching the mothers watching the kids playing in the trees, sneaking a look at the second silverback who’s sulking behind a bush because he can't have sex with anyone...This is far, far from your average zoo trip, this is wild, wonderful and unforgettable.
