At Chameleon Holidays & Travel, we design every African safari to be as unique as you are. We offer two distinct ways to explore Africa: guided safaris and self-drive holidays, each tailored to your budget, style, needs, and adventure.

We’ve designed our website to reflect this choice — with dedicated sections for guided safaris and self-drive itineraries. While we offer guided tours in several East and Southern-African countries, including Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, and South Africa, our self-drive trips focus on places where independent travel is safe and rewarding — like Namibia, Botswana, and South Africa. Some travellers combine the freedom of a self-drive with the ease of a guided safari — for example, driving through Namibia and then joining a guided tour in Botswana or flying into the Okavango Delta. We help design seamless multi-country itineraries that blend both styles, ensuring alignment of comfort, logistics, and timing.

Guided Safaris

Our guided safaris cater to diverse travel preferences, from small-group camping tours to luxury private fly-in safaris. Whether you’re eager to explore Etosha, the Okavango Delta, Victoria Falls, or the Serengeti, our experienced local guides ensure you get the most out of your journey — with expert wildlife tracking, cultural insights, and behind-the-scenes access you wouldn’t find on your own.

We offer a wide range of guided holidays in Africa, including:

• Family Safaris: Tailored experiences suitable for all ages, ensuring memorable adventures for the entire family.
• Fly-In Safaris: Convenient and time-saving options that provide aerial views of stunning landscapes and quick access to remote destinations.
• Group Safaris: Budget-friendly tours that allow you to share experiences with like-minded travellers.
• Hiking Safaris: For the more adventurous, these safaris combine wildlife viewing with trekking through diverse terrains, with options featured in our Hiking Safaris.
• Honeymoon Safaris: Romantic getaways designed for couples seeking intimate and unforgettable moments in the wild.
• Private Guided Safaris: Customised itineraries with dedicated guides offer flexibility and personalised experiences, like those available in our Private Guided Safaris.

These safaris can span multiple countries, including Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, and South Africa, allowing you to experience each region’s rich biodiversity and cultures.

Self-Drive Holidays

If you’re the kind of traveller who likes the freedom of the open road, our self-drive holidays are a perfect fit. We take care of all the details:

• Trip planning and expert advice
• Booking accommodation and campsites
• Recommending the right vehicle (2WD or 4×4 with rooftop tent)
• Providing detailed maps and travel tips
• Offering local support throughout your journey

With over 35 years of experience in African travel, we know the best routes, seasonal highlights, and lesser-known stops that turn a good holiday into a great one.
