Virgin Limited Edition takes you on a lifetime adventure in Africa, from Morocco's bustling souks and Kenya's vast plains, to the Cape Winelands and the wilderness of the bush in South Africa.

With two luxury safari camps to choose from or combine, make Mahali Mzuri or Finch Hattons your base and read on to learn about the best time to visit Kenya.

From luggage restrictions on smaller planes to avoiding brightly coloured clothing, packing for an African safari can be daunting. To ease the process, we have gathered packing tips from our experts at Mahali Mzuri in Kenya and Ulusaba in South Africa to ensure you set off for your adventure fully prepared.

Two beautiful countries, yet two different destinations, Kenya and South Africa, both make for great options for a safari adventure. To make it that little bit easier to decide, we have put together a handy overview of both destinations.

Every family is different. And while family time is precious, it can be hard to please everyone. We can't promise to take away the constant ‘are we there yet?’ questions, but we can ensure excitement, curiosity, and fun for everyone - with some much-needed relaxation time for the adults thrown in too.

At Mahali Mzuri, our safari camp in the Olare Motorogi Conservancy in Kenya, a number of key healthcare initiatives for children and young people are in place which support and amplify wider government programmes.

Every year, over 1.5 million wildebeest and hundreds of thousands of zebras and antelope make this daring journey across East Africa, tracing the path of the rains from Tanzania’s Serengeti to Kenya’s Maasai Mara. It’s a story of instinct, survival, and the timeless rhythm of the wild. And at Mahali Mzuri, in the private Olare Motorogi Conservancy, you have the best seat in the house.
