Have you ever watched a movie set in Africa and thought, I need to go there? The golden savannas stretching endlessly to the horizon, lions prowling through the tall grass, waterfalls crashing into misty jungles—some film scenes just stay with you. But what if you could step into the magic and experience those landscapes for yourself? A film-inspired safari is more than just a trip. It’s an adventure that lets you relive the greatest moments from your favorite movies. Only this time, you’re the main character!

Live The Lion King in the Serengeti & Maasai Mara

Standing on a rocky outcrop in the Serengeti, watching the sunrise cast golden light over endless plains, you can almost hear Rafiki’s chant in the distance. This breathtaking landscape was the real-life inspiration for The Lion King. Here, the “circle of life” unfolds before your eyes.

]Witness the Great Migration as thousands of wildebeest thunder across the savanna, or take a sunrise hot-air balloon ride for a true “Pride Rock” moment.

Follow Tarzan’s Footsteps to Victoria Falls

Victoria Falls isn’t just a waterfall—it’s a force of nature. Known as “The Smoke That Thunders,” it crashes down with such power that mist rises high into the sky. It’s no wonder filmmakers chose this dramatic setting for The Legend of Tarzan.

Swim on the edge of the falls in Devil’s Pool for the ultimate thrill, or take a scenic helicopter flight to see this natural wonder from above.

Step Into a Post-Apocalyptic World in Namibia

With its towering red dunes and eerie shipwreck-strewn coastline, Namibia’s Skeleton Coast looks like another planet. This surreal, otherworldly landscape was the backdrop for Mad Max: Fury Road, and it feels just as epic in real life.

Go dune bashing in a 4×4, take a scenic flight over the desert, or explore ghost towns swallowed by sand.

Glide Through the Okavango Delta Like The Gods Must Be Crazy

The Okavango Delta in Botswana is a lush oasis in the heart of the Kalahari Desert, where winding waterways create a paradise for wildlife. Just like in The Gods Must Be Crazy, this is a place where nature takes center stage.

Glide through the delta in a mokoro (traditional canoe) as elephants wade in the water and hippos bask in the shallows.

Encounter Gorillas in the Mist in Rwanda & Uganda

Nothing compares to the moment you lock eyes with a wild mountain gorilla. In the misty forests of Rwanda and Uganda, you can experience the world of Gorillas in the Mist, just as Dian Fossey did when she dedicated her life to protecting these incredible creatures.

Trek through dense jungle with expert guides to observe gorilla families in their natural habitat—an unforgettable moment that feels straight out of a movie.

Drive the Garden Route Like Blood Diamond

South Africa’s Garden Route, with its dramatic cliffs and rolling ocean waves, provided the backdrop for Blood Diamond. This coastal paradise is a dream for adventurers, offering everything from bungee jumping to whale watching.

Take a road trip along the Garden Route, stopping for hikes, ocean safaris, and adrenaline-pumping activities like bungee jumping off the Bloukrans Bridge.

Your Film-Inspired Safari Awaits

Why just watch these incredible landscapes on screen when you can be there? Whether you want to relive the magic of The Lion King, chase waterfalls like Tarzan, or explore the wild landscapes of Mad Max, Africa’s greatest cinematic settings are waiting for you.
