Three Southern African highlights in Lonely Planet’s “Best in Travel 2026”

Southern Africa has once again proven why it remains one of the world’s most inspiring travel regions. Lonely Planet has released its highly anticipated Best in Travel 2026 list – a curated selection of the top 50 destinations and experiences for the year ahead – and the region appears three times across two headline categories: “The 25 Best Destinations in 2026” and “The 25 Best Experiences in 2026”

From pristine wilderness to unique wildlife encounters and iconic lodges, the spotlight is firmly on Botswana, Namibia, and South Africa.

One of our Bushwise Exclusive experiences also mad the list - Tracking Desert Elephants in Namibia: One of the 25 Best Experiences for 2026

The custom expertly led guided tracking safaris allow travellers to gain a deeper understanding of their behaviour, resilience, and the fragile desert ecosystems they rely on.

It’s an eye-opening adventure that blends conservation, culture, and raw natural beauty – a bucket-list experience for wildlife lovers and photographers alike.

What does true luxury feel like? ✨

Is it just the softness of the sheets, or is it the thrill of understanding the story written in the tracks outside your private lodge?

We believe the best kind of luxury is shifting. It’s moving beyond pure comfort and towards unforgettable, hands-on experiences that truly change you. It's about swapping digital guides for the wisdom of a local expert who becomes a friend, and a standard tour for a real, hands-on adventure.

This is the heart of Bushwise Exclusive. 🐘 We create deeply private safari experiences where you don’t just visit the wilderness—you connect with it. With your own specialist guide trainer, you'll learn the secrets of the bush in a way no app ever could.
This is insider access. This is safari, reimagined.

Ready to experience the new luxury? Discover your private African adventure with us.
