Africa, Experienced Through
African Eyes.
Africa is not one destination. It is a continent of ancient landscapes, extraordinary wildlife, living cultures, great rivers, forests, deserts and coastlines—each with its own rhythm and story.
Africa Is Not
One Destination.
Hammerkop journeys are designed to take you deeper into these places. From Uganda’s ancient forests and Botswana’s water wilderness to Namibia’s great ancient deserts, Tanzania’s wild south, Zambia’s great rivers, Malawi’s wildlife reserves and inland sea, Mozambique’s Indian Ocean coast and Angola’s extraordinary frontier landscapes, each journey is shaped by people who know Africa and understand what makes each place distinct.
We don't simply send you to Africa.THE HAMMERKOP WAY
We show you the Africa we know.
Each With Its Own
Rhythm & Story.
From ancient forests and great rivers to desert wilderness, highlands and the Indian Ocean, explore eight distinct ways of experiencing Africa.
01
The Pearl of Africa
Enter a country where ancient rainforests meet open savannah, the Rwenzori Mountains rise above the plains, and some of Africa's greatest wildlife encounters unfold at remarkably close range. Track mountain gorillas in Bwindi, follow chimpanzees through Kibale, and search for lions and leopards in Queen Elizabeth National Park.

02
Where Wilderness
Has No Limits
A safari landscape defined by extraordinary space and remarkably intimate encounters with wildlife. Glide through the Okavango Delta by mokoro, follow predators across Savuti, watch elephants gather along the Chobe River and experience the immense silence of the Makgadikgadi salt pans.
EXPLORE BOTSWANA →
03
Ancient Desert
to Wilderness
Namibia changes your sense of scale. Towering dunes rise from the world's great desert landscapes, desert-adapted elephants move through ancient riverbeds, wildlife gathers around Etosha's waterholes, and the Namib reaches the Atlantic along the haunting Skeleton Coast.

04
Wild at Heart
This is safari stripped back to its origins. Walk through South Luangwa with an expert guide, canoe quietly along the Lower Zambezi, explore the immense wilderness of Kafue and stand before Victoria Falls as the Zambezi disappears into the gorge.
EXPLORE ZAMBIA →
05
Where Wild Africa Meets
the Indian Ocean
Mozambique gives Hammerkop an entirely different expression of Africa. Explore the recovering wilderness of Gorongosa before exchanging the bush for turquoise water, coral reefs, traditional dhows and secluded Indian Ocean islands.
EXPLORE MOZAMBIQUE →
06
Africa Beyond
the Familiar
For travellers drawn to places still beyond the familiar safari routes, Angola represents Africa's frontier of discovery. Cross the extraordinary desert landscapes of Iona and Namibe and stand above the immense Tundavala escarpment.
EXPLORE ANGOLA →
07
Beyond the Familiar
There is another Tanzania beyond the familiar safari trail. Follow the seasonal drama of the herds across the Ndutu plains, venture south into the vast wildernesses of Ruaha and Nyerere, then leave the bush behind for the spice-scented shores of Zanzibar.
EXPLORE TANZANIA →
08
The Warm Heart
of Africa
Malawi offers a quieter and wonderfully personal way to experience Africa. Explore the conservation success stories of Majete and Liwonde, journey through the highlands of Nyika, and slow down beside the clear waters and sandy shores of Lake Malawi.

Where Will Africa
Take You?
Every Hammerkop journey begins with one of our Signature Safaris, but no two journeys need to be the same. We use our knowledge of Africa to shape each journey around the traveller—where you go, how you travel, what you experience and how deeply you want to explore.
