While most people come here for the once-in-a-lifetime wildlife, there is so much more to be amazed by in this beautiful part of the world. From 4WDing to authentic bush camps, natural wonders and culinary treats (and shocks), the old saying really does sum up this bewildering land – ‘This is Africa’.
Our favourite resorts are:
