Wildlife & Experiences
Africa's Greatest Wildlife Encounters
Beyond the Big Five — Africa's extraordinary wildlife and landscapes offer encounters that stay with you for a lifetime.
The Big Five
Lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and Cape buffalo — Africa's legendary five are the heartbeat of every safari. Expert trackers maximise your sightings across multiple habitats and ecosystems.
The Great Migration
Over 1.5 million wildebeest and 200,000 zebra moving in a circular migration between Tanzania and Kenya. The Mara River crossings (July–October) are among nature's most spectacular events.
Gorilla Trekking
An hour with a mountain gorilla family in the rainforest is one of the most humbling and profound wildlife experiences on Earth. Limited to 8 people per group per day — permits must be booked early.
Sunrise Balloon Safari
Float silently above the Maasai Mara or Serengeti as Africa wakes below you. Watch the plains come alive from a hot-air balloon, followed by a traditional champagne bush breakfast.
Okavango Mokoro
The traditional dugout canoe of the Okavango Delta — guided silently through lily-covered channels by a skilled poler, within metres of elephants, hippos and kingfishers.
Victoria Falls
The world's largest waterfall — 1.7km wide and 108m tall. Walk the rainforest paths to every viewpoint, or take a helicopter flight for the full scale of "the smoke that thunders" from above.
Walking Safaris
Experience the African bush on foot with an armed professional guide — reading tracks, identifying plants and insects, and approaching wildlife on the same level. Unforgettable and deeply immersive.
Bush Camp Nights
Sleep under a canopy of African stars in a luxury tented camp. Fall asleep to the sounds of lions calling, hyenas cackling and the distant rumble of elephants — the full wild immersion experience.

Types of Africa Safari Tours
Every traveller experiences Africa differently. Choose the safari style that matches how you want to explore the continent.
Game Drive Safaris
The classic African safari — early morning and late afternoon drives in open-top 4WD vehicles with pop-up roofs for all-round game viewing. The foundation of every great safari.
Fly-In Luxury Safaris
Access remote wilderness areas by light aircraft, staying in exclusive private concession lodges where game drive ratios are low and wildlife sightings are premium.
Walking & Trekking
Led by armed professional guides, walking safaris transform the bush experience — reading tracks, learning plants and approaching wildlife on foot in complete silence.
Family Safaris
Africa is extraordinary for families — purpose-designed family vehicles, child-friendly lodges with junior ranger programmes, and itineraries suited to guests aged 8 and over.

Africa Safari Reviews
From Australian travellers who have been on African safari with Cooee Tours.
"Watching a cheetah hunt from 20 metres away in the Maasai Mara is something I will never forget. Our guide Robert had an extraordinary ability to read the animals and position our vehicle perfectly every single time. Absolutely world-class."
"Nothing — absolutely nothing — prepared me for the hour we spent with the gorilla family in Bwindi. An old silverback walked past within two metres. I cried. Everyone cried. Cooee Tours handled every logistic perfectly so I could just be present for it."
"The Southern Africa Explorer covered so much ground without ever feeling rushed. Kruger, the Okavango Delta by mokoro and Victoria Falls — three completely different experiences in 16 days. The tented camps were spectacular. Already planning the East Africa trip."
