where we travel

Africa

For many people, Africa calls to mind safaris and wildlife-viewing drives, and for good reason. The continent’s famous “Big Five” —the lion, elephant, Cape buffalo, leopard, and rhino—enticed hunters in years past and today draw photographers and nature lovers hoping to catch a glimpse of these iconic animals. A wildlife safari with Holbrook Travel is an unforgettable experience, and it’s just a fraction of what Africa has to offer.

Holbrook’s expertise in eastern and southern Africa affords opportunities to explore amazing birds and wildlife, as well as history, culture, and exciting modern cities.

View the Great Migration in Kenya and Tanzania, track mountain gorillas in Uganda and Rwanda, stand amid the endemic lemurs of Madagascar, discover South Africa’s varied landscapes, or descend into Olduvai Gorge, the Cradle of Humankind.

The Holbrook Explorer

Photo of the Month: November 2025
Above: On the way to see baobab trees at sunset on the red dirt roads in the bush of Madagascar, we stopped as the young goat herders crossed directly in front of us, looking like majestic figures in the sunlit, dusty glow. It felt like the scene of a movie, and this photo captured the feeling of that moment perfectly.
