Gorongosa is a remarkable park, and one that transcends the typical safari experience. The site of one of Africa's greatest conversation success stories, this park is now firmly restored to much of its former glory, and a superb destination in its own right.

See for yourselves the utter wonder of Africa's most complete and exciting savanna wilderness. Unlike our fly-in tour, this 'classic' tour accesses the park via a more affordable (and uncomfortable!) road transfer.

Explore the last great forest wilderness in West Africa, in one of the few remaining strongholds of the pygmy hippo. This itinerary offers the chance of up to a dozen primate species too, as well as rarities including forest duikers.

Southern Namibia is the best place to see Africa's smallest cat, the stunning black-footed cat. Sightings are very likely and, with the chance of leopard, aardwolf and caracal too, this might just be the new mammalwatching hotspot in Southern Africa.

One of the wildest and least-visited parks in Africa, Sapo is dripping with potential. Horribly difficult to access, the opening of a new ecolodge make pygmy hippo and zebra duiker sightings more likely than ever.

Quite simply some of the best targeted birding available in Africa, you'll have endemics coming out of your ears on this special birding tour.

South Africa is often treated as a monolith, and nothing could be further from the truth. Offering the best of both worlds, this tour takes guests to the little-visited corners of Kwa-Zulu Natal and the world-famous Kruger National Park, with both areas teeming with incredible wildlife.

There may be nowhere better for forest (or any) wildlife-viewing in Africa - from huge gatherings of elephant to a pile of smaller mammals, there is never a dull moment in this corner of the continent.

One of Kenya's best-kept secrets, Laikipia is a world-class safari destination. Famed for its packs of wild dogs, guests can expect the chance to see lion, cheetah, striped hyena and even melanistic leopard. A must for any bucket list.

With such a high degree of endemism in Ethiopia, as well as viable populations of charismatic species including lion, leopard and wild dog, this tour could deliver almost anything.

An epic journey to a surprisingly accessible corner of the Congo in pursuit of one of the most rarely-encountered mammals in the world - the fascinating Bonobo.

An iconic adventure that nobody should miss, this mountainous corner of Uganda is home to charismatic wildlife by the bucketload, including the elusive African golden cat.

Namibia is an extraordinary safari destination, but its surface is often barely scratched by many visitors.

We know we aren't supposed to have favourites, but this tour is definitely our very favourite itinerary at Pictus Safaris.

A stunningly diverse country, Malawi offers a range of habitats that many larger nations can only dream of. Stirring conservation efforts have returned Majete to a world-class game reserve, which has the potential to offer incredible sightings of big game.

Rwanda is sadly still associated by many with the tragic 1994 genocide. In fact, this small country has undergone a remarkable transformation since then, and is one of the most in-demand destinations on the continent. With a burgeoning Big Five reserve in Akagera, as well as some of Africa's best Gorilla and Chimpanzee watching, Rwanda should absolutely be on your 'bucket list'.

An unusual itinerary taking you deep into the Sahara to reveal its most charismatic wildlife. Sand Cat and Fennec Fox are both key targets, and with the opportunity to see the beauty of the desert by night and the beautiful Dakhla Bay by day, this holiday has much to offer even the most seasoned safari-goer.

Quite simply one of the finest safari destinations on the continent, there is very little that Zakouma can't offer. Home to wildlife spectacles including the largest herd of Elephant in Africa, vast flocks of Quelea and extraordinary densities of predators, this is a must-visit destination in the most unlikely of places.

Mozambique is truly one of the most exciting destinations on the continent, and a must-visit for any safari enthusiast.
