That might mean a stay at Usangu Expedition Camp, in Tanzania’s Ruaha National Park, or Shawa Luangwa Camp, in eastern Zambia. "There is a lot of interest in off-the-beaten-path destinations like Matobo Hills in Zimbabwe, known for its rock art and walking with rhino safaris; Samburu in Kenya, home to the Samburu Special Five and cultural experiences like the Singing Wells; and the Lower Zambezi in Zambia, where travelers can spot wildlife from unique perspectives from a boat, canoe, or on foot," says Neva. "I encourage travelers to visit these lesser-known areas to help relieve the pressure on wildlife hotspots like the Masai Mara and Ngorongoro Crater that see extraordinary visitor numbers." Neva is a longtime supporter of conservancy-based travel. She especially recommends Elewana camps and Wilderness Safari's camps, like Serra Cafema in Namibia and Bisate Lodge in Rwanda.
