Bushtracks Journeys Across Africa & Select Global Destinations | T+L A-List 2026 | Condé Nast Top Specialists

Bushtracks, as a united force, is in a unique position to offer luxury travel throughout Africa, with seamless service, and exceptional support when booking as we have experienced staff situated in both the United States and Africa. Our professional reservations team is reinforced by knowledgeable ground handling experts and long-standing relationships with Africa’s premier suppliers allowing us to deliver high-quality, bespoke safaris to all of our valued guests. The Tett brothers, born into a sixth-generation African family, have run two enterprises for many years. Bushtracks Expeditions, situated in California, and Bushtracks Africa, based in the Kaza Region, in the heart of Africa. Now, these two companies have merged into a union that is stronger than the sum of their parts as they each work to support and enrich the other. David and Christopher Tett believe that "Combined under the Bushtracks umbrella, we will draw on our decades of experience to push the boundaries of travel innovation and remain focused on delivering outstanding services and capabilities." Each Bushtracks journey is a true African adventure, planned by African insiders with first-hand knowledge of the continent's attractions, camps, and guides. The Tett brothers spent much of their youth camping in Botswana's Makgadikgadi Salt Pans and Okavango Delta, as well as Zimbabwe's Hwange, Mana Pools, Gonarezhou, and Chizarira National Parks. When you embark on a Bushtracks safari, you'll be exploring wild regions they know intimately and meeting African personalities they've known for decades. Bushtracks in its entirety is keenly aware of the vital importance of sustainable travel and how it supports wild places and their cohabitating communities. Staying at our hand-picked safari camps ensures you contribute to conservation. Collectively, these safari camps manage and protect millions of acres of wildlands and fund hundreds of communities.

POV: You booked a River Safari in Victoria Falls with Bushtracks Africa.

Whether you choose to greet the day as the first golden rays of sunrise illuminate the Zambezi, or unwind with a sundowner as the sky transforms into a canvas of warm, vibrant colours, a Bushtracks Premium River Safari offers an extraordinary perspective of this iconic river.

Aboard our specially designed vessels, guests can explore the secluded, shallow waterways just above the Falls, venturing into stretches of the Zambezi that few get to experience from the water. With spectacular scenery, intimate wildlife encounters and attentive service, every moment feels wonderfully removed from the bustle of the world.

Visit your local activities desk to book this exclusive and unforgettable experience on the Zambezi.

There is something remarkable about watching an elephant herd cross the Chobe River.

Moving together through the water, adults keep close to their calves, while younger elephants learn to navigate the current alongside more experienced members of the herd.

African elephants live in closely bonded family groups, typically led by an experienced matriarch whose knowledge helps guide the herd through changing seasons and landscapes.

The Chobe River, flowing along the northern edge of Botswana's Chobe National Park, is a vital water source for one of Africa's largest concentrations of elephants.

It's a reminder that some of the most memorable moments on safari are simply opportunities to observe wildlife going about its daily life.

There's something rather special about sharing a sunrise on the river, mimosa in hand, watching the sky turn soft shades of pink and gold as the wildlife begins to stir along the banks.

A Bushtracks Sunrise River Safari brings together beautiful scenery, delicious breakfast bites and those unhurried moments of conversation and laughter that make travelling together so memorable.

A visit to the Victoria Falls region isn't quite complete without a Chobe Day Trip. Just across the border in Botswana, Chobe National Park offers some of Southern Africa's most rewarding wildlife encounters, from large elephant herds and abundant birdlife to the possibility of spotting elusive predators like this magnificent leopard.

A Bushtracks Chobe Day Trip combines a game drive through the park with a river safari along the Chobe River, revealing the landscape and its wildlife from two very different perspectives.

Would you dare?

Perched right on the edge of the Victoria Falls, Devil’s Pool offers one of the most exhilarating experiences in the region. During the drier months, typically from August to January, lower water levels make it possible for adventurous visitors to swim in this natural rock pool, with the spectacular drop of the Falls just metres away.

Opening dates are dependent on water levels and safety conditions. Contact us at [email protected] to book a visit to Livingstone Island and Devil's Pool.

On a recent visit to Gorongosa in Mozambique, Bushtracks Co-Founder David Tett had the opportunity to accompany a rescued pangolin as it foraged for ants under the watchful care of its guardians.

Pangolins are among Africa's most elusive mammals, and their protection requires patience and care. At Gorongosa, rescued pangolins receive specialized attention as part of the park's broader commitment to wildlife recovery.

For David, the experience was a powerful reminder of what conservation can achieve, and why firsthand encounters with the people protecting Africa's wildlife matter.

Dreaming of an experience like this? We can take you to Gorongosa to discover its remarkable wildlife and conservation story firsthand.

For a truly unique and memorable way to connect with the local community, a Village Art Experience offers something rather special. Begin with a guided tour of a local village, meeting the people and discovering the rhythms of everyday life, before settling in at your easel to capture the scene on canvas. With guidance from a local artist, immerse yourself in the sights, sounds and character of village life, creating a beautiful piece of artwork to take home.

No two views of Victoria Falls are quite the same - especially when you experience the Falls from both sides of the border. A Bushtracks Guided Tour of the Falls takes you through Zimbabwe and Zambia, where changing angles reveal entirely different perspectives of the cascading water, dramatic gorges and rising spray. With spectacular photo opportunities along the way, experiencing both sides gives you a far richer picture of the scale and beauty of this extraordinary natural wonder.

Visit your local activities desk or contact our reservations team to book a combined Tour of the Falls with us.

What makes a safari guide exceptional?

At MalaMala, Mike Moth picked up the tracks of a mother leopard and her cubs. He continued following them while remaining attentive to other wildlife encounters along the way. Eventually, the trail led to the family resting together, with the cubs suckling beside their mother.

Vivienne Gunning, the expedition leader accompanying the Bushtracks journey, has spent more than three decades working across 34 African countries, including 25 years with Bushtracks. She had never witnessed it before.

It was a rare encounter made possible by Mike’s knowledge, patience, and ability to read the bush without allowing the search to eclipse everything else unfolding around us.

In the 2027 Bushtracks Magazine, Mike shares more about the instinct behind exceptional guiding and why the feeling of safari stays with us long after we return home.

The magazine arrives later this month. Ready to begin your own safari story? Explore Bushtracks at the link in our bio.
