An Africa safari experience is truly life changing. From the game drives and safari walks to the amazing natural landscapes and luxury camps, everything about a safari holiday is unique and exciting. And the views? Well, what can we say…..they’re pretty amazing too. Here are 5 of the most stunning spots in Africa, places where you’ll be able to enjoy the most incredible views during your time on Safari.
This is one of the ultimate experiences of an African Safari. The famous Great Migration is like nothing you’ve ever seen before. Visit the Serengeti National Park and you may be able to witness millions of wildebeest, zebra and impala move in unison in search of greener pastures.
The movements follow the same pattern each year, with the migration from south to north starting around April/May and the animals moving south in October/November Although the dates are never set and seeing a river crossing is not guaranteed, it is nature after all!

Game sightings make an African safari totally unforgettable but if you’re holidaying in Zambia or Botswana don’t miss the chance to enjoy the incredible views of the Victoria Falls.
Accessible from both Zambia and Zimbabwe both have their distinctive advantages. Zimbabwe because the falls are a lot larger this side, so there many viewpoints. In Zambia, you’ll get a different experience, home to the Devil’s Pool and Knife-Edge Bridge. The Victoria Falls Bridge takes you across from Zambia to Zimbabwe so if you dont mind double visa fees you can experience the waterfalls from both countries!

If you’re after the perfect sunset spot (or sunrise if you’re willing to get up at the crack of dawn), make sure you spend some time checking out Lake Malawi. This beautiful lake is one of the largest in the world and even has its own beaches for those who really need to kick back and relax after a full on safari experience. Stopping over at the lake is pure bliss and if you love views of water, you’ll love relaxing by the lake.

One of the most spectacular sights in Africa is the Namib Desert and we’ve got some great desert lodges offering the most mind-blowing panoramic desert views. Whilst you’re here, you simply can’t miss the Deadvlei, a salt and clay pan surrounded by high red dunes. Enjoy quad biking to explore the dunes on wheels or take to the air in a hot air balloon for a birds eye view.

Another view you won’t want to miss is the river hiking route of the Fish River Canyon, a dried out natural wonder which has been carved into the Namibian desert. It’s one of the world’s largest river canyons (the second largest to be precise) and a view from the top down is pretty impressive. It stretches a massive 160 kilometres from north to south, it’s over 550 metres deep and it’s a whopping 27 kilometres wide. It’s also over 500 million years old! As well as the canyon views, the hiking route will also give you an opportunity to spot rare wild horses, mountain zebra and various bird species.
