The Snyman Safaris Experience

Our team of expert guides and naturalists is dedicated to ensuring that you have the opportunity to witness Africa’s iconic animals in their natural habitat while staying in comfortable and eco-friendly lodges and camps.

Destinations: Exploring Africa’s Wild Side

Serengeti National Park, Tanzania

The Serengeti is often referred to as the “Land of the Endless Plains,” and for a good reason. This iconic national park in Tanzania is home to the Great Migration, one of the most spectacular wildlife events on the planet. Witness millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles as they traverse the Serengeti in search of fresh grazing grounds, pursued by hungry predators like lions and cheetahs.

Maasai Mara National Reserve, Kenya

Adjacent to the Serengeti lies the Maasai Mara National Reserve in Kenya, where the drama of the Great Migration continues. The Mara River, with its crocodile-infested waters, becomes a battleground as herds of animals attempt the perilous crossing. It’s a wildlife spectacle you won’t want to miss.

Okavango Delta, Botswana

The Okavango Delta is a UNESCO World Heritage site and a haven for both wildlife and water enthusiasts. Explore this pristine wetland on a traditional mokoro (dugout canoe) safaris and encounter elephants, hippos, and a plethora of bird species in their natural aquatic habitat.

Kruger National Park, South Africa

South Africa’s Kruger National Park offers a more relaxed safari experience with a diverse range of wildlife. From the elusive leopards to the iconic “Big Five” (lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, and rhinoceros), Kruger has it all. Enjoy game drives and guided walks to get up close and personal with these incredible creatures.

The Wildlife Spectacle

Africa is a continent that boasts some of the world’s most extraordinary wildlife. On a Snyman Safaris adventure, you’ll have the chance to witness a dazzling array of animals, both big and small.
