Top 10 Africa Multi-Day Tours & Package Trips

You may have admired them in zoos, but there’s nothing like seeing the iconic wildlife species of Africa in their natural environment.

It’s the number one reason travellers from across the planet visit this incredible continent, and rarely do they leave disappointed! In national parks and game reserves across Africa, the quest for survival in the animal kingdom plays out on a daily basis. And seeing it is a privilege no visitor could fail to appreciate.

For most of us, travelling to Africa is a once-in-a-lifetime experience — and a multi-day tour makes the process easy and safe. You can leave the logistics to experts on the ground and simply focus on enjoying your holiday. And from moderately priced overland camping trips, to luxury lodge safaris, there’s a multi-day tour to suit your budget and travel style.

You’ll also benefit from the services of a knowledgeable guide throughout your trip, and glean insights from them on African culture along the way. Many tour companies also employ local guides in national parks to provide specialist knowledge on the animals you see.
