Contiki is expanding its portfolio with the launch of four new trips in Africa. Designed to make bucket-list safaris more accessible to younger audiences, each new itinerary, across Kenya, Tanzania, Eswatini and South Africa, delivers the classic safari experience with added adrenaline and cultural immersion, without the premium price tag. The launch follows a notable rise in demand for Africa-based travel among Contiki’s core audience. Year-on-year bookings have increased significantly, with Tanzania trips up 11.1 percent compared to 2024; Contiki has also reported substantial growth across the region, including a 46.2 percent increase in bookings to Kruger National Park and Eswatini.
Ideal for young travelers who want to see the best of East Africa in one seamless experience, “Kenya & Tanzania Adventure” covers five national parks over 11 days, including the Maasai Mara and Amboseli. Travelers can enjoy a mix of wildlife encounters, optional adventure activities and cultural immersion. On the six-day “Kenya Adventure,” travelers will explore three of Kenya’s most iconic national parks. Highlights include “Big Five” game drives, mountain biking through nature and villages, white-water rafting, ziplining, archery, a hot air balloon safari over the plains and a cultural visit to a Maasai village. Lastly, the new “Tanzania Adventure” explores the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara over six days. In addition to daily game drives, travelers can opt into treetop walks, cultural village visits and a night safari for a rare opportunity to see big cats in action.
Each trip includes a custom overland vehicle for the best views during safaris and premium campsites accommodations, where travelers will fall asleep under the stars, with tents pre-assembled by the on-ground team and all amenities. These trips are led by experienced Trip Managers who are also fully trained safari guides, alongside a dedicated chauffeur and on-road chef for freshly prepared meals throughout the journey.
In addition to the new East Africa trips, Contiki has announced a new version of its popular “Cape, Safari & Falls” itinerary. The new trip, “Cape Town, Kruger & Bushfire Festival,” now features one of Africa’s most celebrated music events. This nine-day itinerary combines South Africa’s must-see highlights, from Cape Town’s dramatic coastline to game drives in Kruger National Park, finishing with three nights at the Bushfire Festival, with a host of acts from across the continent, local food, art, and more.
With the launch of these new trips, Contiki’s Africa portfolio now includes over 30 itineraries across the continent, from Egypt and Morocco to Namibia and multiple safari adventures.
