Africa has a way of shifting your sense of scale. Wide-open savannas, dramatic coastlines, vibrant cities and extraordinary wildlife all exist within a single journey.
For many travelers, that variety is what makes Africa so compelling. A safari vacation is not just about seeing animals in the wild. It’s about waking before sunrise and not knowing what the day will hold, hearing distant wildlife from your lodge, sharing stories around dinner and experiencing places that feel completely unlike anywhere else.
With Alexander + Roberts, those moments are paired with the ease of small group travel. Their itineraries typically include fewer than 18 guests, along with premium accommodations, expert guides, private game drives and carefully planned itineraries that balance iconic sights with meaningful local experiences.
As part of the AAA Vacations collection, members can also enjoy added value on select Alexander + Roberts itineraries, including exclusive savings and member benefits.

On Safari in Kenya + Tanzania
Few safaris capture the full scope of East Africa like Kenya and Tanzania, where landscapes range from open savannas and rolling grasslands to lakes, forests and dramatic mountain views.
The first major stop on the Alexander + Roberts’ On Safari in Kenya + Tanzania itinerary is in Amboseli National Park. Overlooking the Amboseli plain and Mount Kilimanjaro, this landscape is known for its wide-open terrain and large elephant herds, with game drives offering frequent sightings of lions, cheetahs and zebras.
From there, the journey continues into Tanzania to the Ngorongoro Crater, the largest intact volcanic caldera in the world. Its landscape creates a dense concentration of wildlife, including elephants and rhinos, creating frequent close encounters.

Finally, there is the Maasai Mara, one of Africa’s most famous safari destinations. Known for having the highest concentration of wild animals in the world, it offers the chance to witness dramatic encounters and, depending on the season, the Great Migration.
Along the way, travelers may also visit local villages, learn about regional traditions and gain a deeper understanding of the people and cultures that shape the experience beyond the safari vehicle.
Spectacular South Africa + Victoria Falls
For travelers looking for a thoughtfully designed introduction to southern African, Alexander + Roberts’ Spectacular South Africa + Victoria Falls itinerary combines wildlife, city life, coastal scenery and vineyards for a broader view of the continent.
Your travels begin in Cape Town, with time set aside to explore the vast vineyards, before returning to the city to take in its most celebrated sights. From a sweeping coast along the Cape Peninsula to panoramic views atop Table Mountain, the experience unfolds against striking scenery.
From there, the trip continues to a private reserve bordering Kruger National Park, where the focus shifts fully to safari. Guests head out on game drives in open-top vehicles designed for unobstructed viewing of the 5 million acres of open land, guided by expert trackers who bring context to each sighting. Set within uncrowded, wildlife-rich areas, the experience feels immersive with every breath.
The journey concludes in Zambia at Victoria Falls, where the Zambezi River drops into a mile-wide gorge in one of the most dramatic natural settings in Africa. As you move along the rainforest trails, each viewpoint offers a different angle on the cascading water and the sheer force of the river as it cuts through the landscape.
An African safari is often a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Alexander + Roberts’ makes planning easy, so you can focus on enjoying the experience.
