Nothing says Africa quite like the lion. The earth-shattering roar of a magnificent male, the intimate and playful touches of cubs in a pride or the intensity of lionesses on the hunt is what safari is all about! Although lions are still widespread in Africa, the total population in now below 20,000 individuals and sightings cannot be taken for granted.

We rate these as our most exciting lion experiences in Africa

  • Game drives in South Africa’s private reserves and larger national parks
  • Full day safaris in the Serengeti or Maasai Mara
  • Dry season waterholes in parks like Hwange (Zimbabwe) and Etosha (Namibia)
  • Specialist safari in the harsh Namib Desert in Namibia
  • Walking safaris in North and South Luangwa with experienced Zambian guides.

For conservation experiences where you can connect with predator researchers to understand population dynamics and perhaps follow radio-collared individuals for study, let us know. We will build this into your itinerary.
