Where Luxury Meets the Wild
From private safaris across the Serengeti to the sweeping views from Cape Town's Table Mountain, this is where days end with a sunset over the savanna and nights are spent in lodges that redefine what it means to be immersed in nature.
Andrew Burns Travel Co. is an African safari specialist, designing journeys built on firsthand experience. We know the reserves, the lodges, and the guides, and curate each itinerary around what actually delivers, not what looks good in a brochure.
What to Do & See
The Beauty of Africa
On Safari
Beyond the Bush
Under Canvas
On Safari
Dawn game drives, walking safaris with armed rangers, and balloon flights over the plains at first light. We place you in private conservancies where the wildlife outnumbers the vehicles.
- Big Five game drives in the Serengeti and Masai Mara
- Private conservancies with no crowds
- Night drives for leopard, lion and the nocturnal wild
- Guided bush walks and tracking on foot
Beyond the Bush
Africa is more than the savanna. Trade the game drive for a wine estate, a thundering waterfall, or the white sand of the Indian Ocean, without ever leaving the itinerary.
- Cape Winelands estates and Table Mountain
- Victoria Falls and cruises on the Zambezi
- Zanzibar, Mozambique and Mauritius beaches
- Boat safaris along the Chobe River
Under Canvas
The lodge is half the journey. Sundowners as the sky turns, bush dinners under a canopy of stars, and suites that open straight onto the wild.
- Tented suites with private plunge pools
- Chef-prepared bush dinners and boma feasts
- Sundowners at the day's most golden hour
- Star beds and sleep-outs beneath the Milky Way

Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time to go on safari?+
It depends on what you want to see. June to October is the classic dry-season window for game viewing; July to October brings the Great Migration river crossings; and the green season, November to May, rewards travelers with fewer crowds, newborn wildlife and superb birding. We time every trip around your priorities.
How far in advance should I book my trip to Africa?+
The best properties, from private conservancies to boutique coastal resorts, release limited space and fill 9 to 12 months out, especially during peak seasons and the December holidays. The earlier planning begins, the more availability for your ideal accommodations and experiences.
Is a safari suitable for families?+
Absolutely. Many lodges welcome children and run tailored family programs, from junior-ranger activities to interconnecting suites. We match the reserve, pacing and accommodation to your family's ages and interests.
Are vaccinations or malaria precautions necessary?+
Some regions may recommend certain vaccinations or malaria precautions depending on your route. We'll flag what applies to your specific itinerary, and always recommend confirming current guidance with a travel-health professional before departure.
Can a safari and beach vacation be combined?+
Yes, safari-beach getaways are one of our most popular ways to experience Africa. Pairing the bush with a coastal destination such as Zanzibar, Mozambique, or Mauritius creates a seamless "bush and beach" finish.
