The Big Five, and so much more.
Africa is far more than its wildlife – yet its wild creatures shape the soul of the continent. Here, elephants still travel in great herds, wildebeest gather by the tens of thousands, and vast stretches of untouched wilderness remain. PATH+PLAIN takes you into these landscapes, where nature still feels truly wild.
For many first-time travelers, the dream is to see as much wildlife, and as much variety, as possible. Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa, and Botswana offer exceptional breadth: big cats on the hunt, thriving elephant populations, and iconic savannas alive with movement.
On a second or third journey, we can help you go deeper. Explore conservation challenges in Zimbabwe. Seek out desert-adapted lions and rhino in Namibia’s otherworldly terrain. Or trek through Rwanda’s forested volcanoes for an encounter with mountain gorillas—one of Africa’s most profound wildlife experiences.
And for those who return to Africa again and again, the story becomes personal. You might revisit favorite camps and guides, check in on the young leopard you once watched learning to hunt, or follow your curiosity further afield—perhaps spending a week with the chimpanzees of Mahale Mountains National Park in southern Tanzania, walking in the footsteps of Jane Goodall.
Whether you are embarking on your first adventure in Africa, or your 10th, time spent in nature with wild animals awakens something essential within us. After all, we, too, are animals—drawn instinctively to the wild.
