Apr 01, 2014 BY Paul McWilliams

It’s easy to understand the appeal of safari. It’s not often you get the chance to see some of the planet’s most majestic and rare animals in their natural habitat. And with safaris to suit most budgets, more and more people are considering it as a holiday option. However, there is something about luxury safari lodges that gives your African adventure a classic romantic appeal that makes it all the more special.

Imagine Africa, Tanzania

Including in the legendary Serengeti and vast Selous, Tanzania is one of the world’s best safari destinations. With luxurious lodges to stay in on your safari and an Indian Ocean studded with incredibly beautiful beaches, Imagine Africa can really help to create your dream African getaway.

Mahali Mzuri, Kenya

Billed as Sir Richard Branson’s Kenyan safari camp, it’s perhaps not surprising that this is a truly luxurious and exclusive safari destination. Forming part of the Virgin Limited Edition holiday range, this is a safari experience with a difference. And while technically it is a tent you’re staying in, it’s not like any tent we’ve seen before on our camping holidays. Mahali Mzuri is luxury safari adventuring at its best.

Rainbow Tours, Madagascar

Although Madagascar is an island off the main landmass of Africa, it was never part of the continent itself, breaking away from India around 90 million years ago. All of which means the wildlife here is unique. With countless endemic species and a culture all of its own, a luxury safari here will be unlike any other on the planet. Check out the Rainbow Tours website to find out more.
