How about a trip to Namibia / Botswana
A Brief Summary
If you’ve ever fancied staying in wonderful lodges or luxury safari huts, seeing elephants, leapoards, rhinos, cheetahs, giraffe, zebra or hippo in their natural environment, under crystal clear blue skies, with abundant warm sunshine… Namibia and Botswana in August is almost unbeatable. Never too hot, averaging 24-26°C by day, with cool nights, and in the middle of the dry season when watering holes begin to shrink, spotting these magnificent creatures becomes just a little easier, but still a rare and magnificent treat
