Dreaming of Southern Africa? One Escapism reader and their guest can win £740 in travel credit towards a 2027 Bushtracks Explorer Safari, plus private trip planning and a curated safari gear package.

There are few trips quite like an African safari. Dawn game drives across vast plains, evenings around the fire and the possibility of seeing some of the world’s most remarkable wildlife in landscapes that tend to stay with you long after you’ve flown home.

Bushtracks Expeditions takes some of the legwork out of planning it. Its Explorer Safaris are a collection of private, seven- to ten-day journeys across Southern Africa, designed for travellers who want the freedom of a private trip without having to piece every element together themselves.

Choose from established itineraries combining destinations including Victoria Falls, Hwange National Park, Botswana’s Okavango Delta, Zambia, South Africa and Namibia, then travel on dates that suit you. Each journey brings together handpicked camps and lodges, expert guiding, wildlife experiences and fully coordinated logistics.

One winner will receive £370 travel credit per person for two people travelling together – approximately £740 in total – towards an eligible 2027 Bushtracks Explorer Safari. You’ll also receive a private planning consultation with a Bushtracks Africa specialist, who can help turn ideas into an itinerary, plus a curated Bushtracks safari gear package.

Whether you’re contemplating your first safari or looking for an excuse to return to Africa, consider this a very good place to start.
