What will you do on Safari?

Due to the diverse areas in which Buja Tours operates, the experiences offered vary numerously from camp to camp. A game drive in the Kalahari is very different to a drive through the Busanga Plains or across the Namib Desert. Wildlife can also be enjoyed on foot, by moroko, by boat, by air or even from the comfort of your lodge.

Early Morning Game Drive

Start your day with the magic of the African dawn, when the bush comes alive and wildlife is most active. As the sun begins to rise and the air is cool and crisp, you’ll head out in a 4×4 open safari vehicle led by expert guides. Before departure, enjoy a light wake-up refreshment of tea, coffee, and traditional rusks — a perfect prelude to the adventure ahead.

This is prime game-viewing time, when predators are on the move and the savannah stirs with life. From prowling big cats to herds of grazing antelope, every moment offers a chance for unforgettable sightings.

Keep your camera ready — this is when nature reveals some of its most spectacular moments.

Mid-Morning: Rest & Reconnect

After an exhilarating early morning game drive, you’ll return to the lodge for a well-deserved, hearty breakfast — freshly prepared and enjoyed in the serene surroundings of the African bush.

The rest of the morning is yours to unwind and recharge:

Relax in the comfort of your room
Take a refreshing dip in the lodge pool
Enjoy a quiet moment in the lounge area, surrounded by the sounds of nature

For the more adventurous, this is also a great time to arrange optional activities such as a guided bush walk, where you can learn about the smaller wonders of the wilderness — from animal tracks to medicinal plants. Whether you choose peaceful relaxation or continued exploration, this time of day offers the perfect balance of rest and discovery.

Mid-Afternoon & Sunset Game Drive

As the heat of the day fades, it’s time to head back into the wild — just in time to witness the breathtaking spectacle of an African sunset. This is one of the most magical times in the bush, when golden light bathes the landscape and animals begin to stir once more. Enjoy another chance to spot the Big Five and other iconic wildlife as they prepare for the evening. Along the way, you’ll pause at a scenic spot to enjoy sundowners in the bush — a refreshing drink and light snacks surrounded by nature’s beauty. Once the sun dips below the horizon, your adventure continues with a night game drive. Equipped with spotlights, your guide will help you discover the nocturnal side of the savannah — from elusive predators on the hunt to owls and other creatures rarely seen by day. It’s a thrilling, two-part experience that reveals the full rhythm of life in the African wilderness.

Evening Game Drive & Dinner Under the Stars

After an exhilarating few hours exploring the bush — spotting wildlife and soaking in the sounds of the savannah — you’ll return to your lodge or traditional boma for an unforgettable evening. Enjoy a delicious dinner served in a warm, welcoming atmosphere, often under the stars or by the fireside. It’s the perfect time to swap stories with fellow travelers, share sightings from the day, and soak in the unique camaraderie that comes with safari life. As the evening winds down, you’ll retire to your room — relaxed, inspired, and filled with anticipation for the adventures that await the next day.

On the Water: Serenity in the Wild

Few safari experiences are as peaceful — or as romantic — as exploring the wilderness by water. In regions like the Okavango Delta, water becomes not just a landscape feature, but a way of life.

Drift silently along the crystal-clear channels in a traditional mekoro (dugout canoe), guided by expert polers who navigate the reed-lined waterways with ease. This serene experience offers intimate encounters with aquatic birds, frogs, elephants, and hippos, all without disturbing the natural rhythm of the Delta. For those seeking a bit more adventure, motorboats are also used for guest transfers and offer the chance to enjoy seasonal catch-and-release fishing — a tranquil yet thrilling way to connect with the environment. Whether it’s your first safari or your fifth, being on the water adds a magical, reflective dimension to your African journey.

In Camp / Lodges: Your Sanctuary in the Wild

Our safari lodges and camps are far more than just a place to sleep — they are thoughtfully designed retreats of comfort, charm, and character, nestled in some of Africa’s most breathtaking landscapes. Between game drives and bush adventures, these homes away from home offer the perfect setting to relax, recharge, and reflect. Whether you’re sipping coffee around the morning fire, or enjoying a classic gin and tonic at sunset, the uninterrupted views of the wilderness become part of the rhythm of your stay. Each lodge or camp is distinctively styled, often drawing from the local culture and natural surroundings — from handcrafted décor to eco-conscious design. Spacious lounges, open-air bars, and viewing decks overlook waterholes, valleys, or plains where wildlife may wander past.

Here, luxury meets authenticity, and every moment — even at rest — becomes part of the adventure.

On Foot: The Purest Safari Experience

There is nothing quite like experiencing Africa on foot — walking safaris are widely regarded as one of the most intimate and rewarding ways to connect with the wilderness. Guided by expert rangers and trackers, these walks allow you to step away from the vehicle and immerse yourself in the rhythm of the bush. Every sound, scent, and footprint becomes a clue in nature’s story. Whether it’s spotting fresh animal tracks, learning about medicinal plants, or simply standing quietly as giraffes move through the trees, walking safaris awaken your senses in ways a game drive never can. Walks typically range from short morning or afternoon outings, depending on the season, terrain, and wildlife activity, and are always conducted with the highest safety standards in mind. This is safari at its rawest and most humbling — a true return to the wild.

In the Air: A Safari from the Skies

For a truly magical perspective of the African wilderness, few experiences compare to a hot air balloon safari. Gently rising with the sun, you’ll float silently above the landscape as the world awakens below — herds of wildlife moving across the plains, birds soaring past, and rivers glistening in the early light. Offered by select camps and lodges, this serene adventure provides a quiet, breathtaking view of nature’s grandeur — far from the roads and trails.

Your flight often concludes with a champagne breakfast set up in the bush — a perfect and indulgent finale to an unforgettable journey through the skies. Let your safari take flight — and see Africa from a whole new angle.

🍽️ At Meals: Dining as an Integral Part of Your Safari

Dining is an essential part of your safari experience, and we make every effort to create a warm, convivial atmosphere wherever you are. While you can expect good wholesome food, each meal also features a unique cultural twist that reflects the local flavors and traditions.

Meals can be enjoyed in a variety of settings — whether in the comfort of your camp or lodge, out in the bush surrounded by nature, or as an exclusive private dining experience tailored to your preferences.

Underwater: Dive into a Vibrant Aquatic Safari

Not just on the water, but beneath the surface — our beach destinations open the door to thrilling underwater safaris. Renowned for their rich marine biodiversity, these locations offer encounters with a dazzling variety of aquatic life, from vibrant tropical fish, graceful rays, and curious turtles, to majestic dolphins, whales, and even sharks. Whether you’re snorkeling over colorful coral reefs or diving into deeper waters, the underwater world here promises unforgettable, immersive experiences that complement your African safari adventure.

With Your Family: Safari Adventures for All Ages

A safari is the perfect opportunity to create lasting memories with your family. Many of our camps and lodges offer family-friendly accommodations, including spacious family rooms and flexible meal times designed to accommodate younger children.

Our tailored activities ensure that every member of your family—young and old—can enjoy the beauty of the African wilderness in a safe and engaging way. With Buja Tours, you get to relax, reconnect, and truly enjoy your holiday while surrounded by stunning landscapes and incredible wildlife.

🏖️ On the Beach: Where Safari Meets Seaside Serenity

Many might not immediately associate a beach vacation with a safari, but at Buja Tours & Safaris, our stunning beach destinations perfectly blend relaxation with wilderness adventure. While you unwind and enjoy classic seaside pleasures, you’re surrounded by pristine ocean and freshwater shores set within remarkable wilderness areas.

This unique combination offers you the best of both worlds — tranquil beachside moments alongside unforgettable encounters with nature.
