    ICONIC AFRICA'S TOP TEN AFRICAN BUCKET LIST

In just over a decade of operation, Iconic Africa has won in the LUXLife Travel Awards 6 times, including 2024 which saw us walk away with the title of Best Global Boutique Safari Business.

With offices in both the US and South Africa, and our boutique team boasting almost a century’s worth of experience in the African Travel industry, we are perfectly positioned to craft unforgettable safaris that showcase the magnificence of Africa.

To get you thinking about what YOUR ultimate safari would be,
here are some ideas of what to include on your bucket list:

1

Big Cats of the

Serengeti

See more lions and cheetahs in a day than you will see in a month of safari elsewhere on the open plains of Tanzania's southern Serengeti. East Africa was where safari originated, and the quintessential landscapes of the great plains will evoke a wonderful nostalgia in you for a bygone era of exploration.
2

Breakfast with

Giraffes

Get up close and personal with the rare Rothschild ́s giraffe at Kenya's Giraffe Manor, where the tallest animal in the world will definitely be joining you for tea. You won't find an experience like this anywhere else on the continent!
3

Face-to-face with

Great Apes

Sit in perfect harmony with our closest relatives in the wild forests of Rwanda, in an encounter that will stir you to the depths of your soul. Incredible lodges like Wilderness Bisate or Singita Kwitonda elevate your experience to something truly life-changing.
4

Africa’s Greatest

Eden

Journey to the heart of the Okavango Delta - a World Heritage Site wetland - and be in awe at the diversity and abundance of life to be found in this seemingly endless paradise of meandering channels and floodplains. The proliferation of creatures great and small will take your breath away, and some of Africa's most remarkable and luxurious camps are to be found here.
5

Ultimate Predator

Safari

The Sabi Sand Reserve in South Africa is the best place in the world to see leopards, almost without question. More than half a century of sensitive game viewing practices has meant the population of these magnificent cats – the densest recorded in Africa - are totally relaxed around safari vehicles, and sightings are almost guaranteed. Lions, cheetahs and wild dogs are also to be found here in large numbers.
6

The Great River

Wilderness

The Zambezi Valley is where two of Africa's most spectacular and iconic wildlife reserves are to be found; Mana Pools National Park (Zimbabwe) and the Lower Zambezi National Park (Zambia). Get on foot with lions, elephants and wild dogs in Mana Pools on a bush walk the likes of which is available nowhere else on the continent, and watch in awe as wild dogs take on buffalo herds in the Lower Zambezi, amongst towering forests of winterthorn trees.
7

World’s Most Beautiful

Wine Route

The towns of Stellenbosch and Franschhoek lie in the heart of South Africa's wine region. Nestled amongst mountain grandeur, they offer some of the country's most stunning accommodation and culinary experiences.
8

Stand At The Edge Of The

World

Victoria Falls on the mighty Zambezi River is one of the seven wonders of the natural world, and is the perfect launchpad for a Zambian, Zimbabwean or Botswanan safari, being so close to the meeting point of these three countries. This iconic adventure destination offers many exciting activities like white water rafting, bungee jumping, wildlife river cruises, helicopter flights over the Falls, and many more...
9

Ultimate Big Blue

Safari

The warm waters of southern Mozambique are a tropical paradise for snorkelling, scuba diving, fishing or just relaxing by the sea on white sand beaches. Lodges like Azura Benguerra and Kisawa Sanctuary offer relaxed opulence on the shores of the Indian Ocean, and are a perfect place to put the feet up and unwind after a traditional safari.
10

Wildest

Namibia

The remote desert landscapes of this, one of the least densely populated countries on earth, will take your breath away with their lunar feel and uniquely adapted wildlife. Watch an elephant herd walk slowly across gravel plains that stretch to the horizon, or see lions sauntering along the beach in pursuit of seals... Namibia is one of the most unique destinations on our planet!
