High Five
For many, a safari means Africa and the Big Five – lions, rhinos, leopards, elephants and buffalo. Big one for the Big Five is the 74-day Grand Africa Voyage from Holland America Line, which circles the continent. Its own Big Three are 1) A day in Kenya’s Tsavo National Park with its red elephants (tinted by the area’s reddish earth), zebras, giraffes, buffalo, gazelles, impala, baboons and maybe even lions and leopards ($549); 2) A light plane to Amboseli National Park, also Kenya, in a dramatic setting below Mount Kilimanjaro, renowned for its 900 elephants and huge herds of wildebeest, bird-filled wetlands and lions, zebras, hyenas and giraffes ($1,599); and 3) A two-night safari lodge stay in South Africa’s Kruger National Park (while the ship sails from Mozambique to Durban), home to the Big Five plus plenty more ($3,999). Departs Fort Lauderdale on 8 October 2020 on 1,380-passenger MS Amsterdam, from £15,549,including flights (0344 338 8605, hollandamerica.com).
