14-Day Kosher Safari

Your Grand African Journey: Two Weeks in the Heart of Africa

A 14-day kosher safari with The Kosher Safari is more than just a trip; it’s a profound immersion into the rhythms and wonders of Africa. This extended timeframe allows our guests to truly slow down, absorb the breathtaking landscapes, witness incredible wildlife spectacles, and experience the continent's vibrant cultures without feeling rushed. With two full weeks, we ensure a comprehensive journey that includes three deeply meaningful Shabbatot, each observed in a different, inspiring location, offering a spiritual dimension to your adventure.

This is the safari for those who desire the full African experience – ample time for exhilarating game drives, peaceful walking safaris, thrilling night drives, dedicated photography sessions, enriching cultural visits, and crucial rest days to rejuvenate. We craft itineraries that balance exploration with relaxation, ensuring you return home enriched and refreshed.

Crafting Your Multi-Country Masterpiece

Our 14-day itineraries are meticulously designed to combine the very best of Africa, often linking multiple countries to maximize your experience. Here are some of our most sought-after multi-country combinations:

• East African Epic: Tanzania, Kenya & Zanzibar: Witness the Great Migration river crossings in the Maasai Mara or Serengeti (seasonal), explore the Ngorongoro Crater, and then unwind on the pristine, glatt kosher friendly beaches of Zanzibar. This offers a perfect blend of intense wildlife viewing and relaxing cultural exploration.
• Southern African Splendor: South Africa, Botswana & Victoria Falls: Begin with the cosmopolitan charm of Cape Town and the wildlife riches of Kruger National Park. Then, fly to Botswana for mokoro safaris and unparalleled predator sightings in the Okavango Delta, concluding with the majestic power of Victoria Falls from both the Zambian and Zimbabwean sides.
• Grand East African Circuit: Kenya, Tanzania & Rwanda: For the ultimate wildlife and primate adventure, combine the vast plains of Kenya and Tanzania with the privilege of tracking mountain gorillas in Rwanda's Volcanoes National Park. This itinerary is for the truly adventurous and requires careful planning for gorilla permits, which we secure on your behalf.
