Safari in Eastern or Southern Africa ? Which suits you best?

With travel being put on hold and cabin fever starting to set in, we yearn for the open African bushveld more than ever!

We are pretty sure you are also eager to escape the crowds by hopping into an open top safari vehicle and letting Mother Nature do the talking for a change.

For that reason, our resident African Safari Specialist has compiled some helpful information to help you decide whether your next safari destination should be between Eastern or Southern Africa.

Mongolia

Mongolia, a nation bordered by China and Russia, is known for vast, rugged expanses and nomadic culture. Its capital, Ulaanbaatar, centers around Chinggis Khaan (Genghis Khan) Square, named for the notorious founder of the 13th- and 14th-century Mongol Empire.

Quality Nepal

As travel branding goes, Nepal stands out as a destination that is strongly focused on mountaineering, trekking and back-packing for budget travellers and adventurers. Hardly surprising with the Himalayas dominating the terrain and with eight of the ten highest mountains in the world. Combined with its mix of Hindu and Buddhist cultures, a visit to Nepal comes close to a mystical experience for western visitors, one that is hardly comparable with anywhere else. Accommodations on the trekking routes are largely limited to local tea houses and small lodges.
