African Safari Packages from the UK

Tailor-made safaris to Africa, planned for British travellers

An African safari is closer and easier from the UK than most people realise — an overnight flight from London, almost no time difference, and a whole continent of wildlife waiting on the other side. We take care of everything in between.

Ranger Buck Safaris builds every trip by hand around what you actually want, so your safari fits your dates, your budget and the things you most long to see.

Why book your safari from the UK with us

British travellers have a real advantage: direct overnight flights to Johannesburg and Cape Town, a time zone almost identical to home (so no jet lag to lose a day to), and the English language throughout. Add a team who handles every flight, transfer and lodge, and the whole thing becomes effortless.

  • Overnight direct flights from London — arrive fresh.
  • Almost no time difference with South Africa.
  • One team from enquiry to the flight home.
  • Clear pricing in GBP, with no hidden costs.

“We use the amazing Lindsay, from Ranger Buck for all our Safari bookings and have yet to deal with a more professional team… You always feel like a VIP!”

Frequently Asked Questions

 

How long is the flight to Africa from the UK?
Direct flights from London to Johannesburg or Cape Town are roughly 11–12 hours overnight — you leave in the evening and arrive the next morning, with almost no time difference to adjust to.

Do UK travellers need a visa for South Africa?
For standard tourist stays, UK passport holders generally don’t need a visa for South Africa. We’ll confirm the current requirements for your full route before you travel.

Are your prices in pounds?
Yes — we quote in GBP with everything itemised, so you know your full trip cost before you leave home.

How do I start?
Send us an enquiry with rough dates and what you have in mind, and one of our advisors will come back with ideas and options at a range of price points.

Choose your destination or trip type

Every safari is tailor-made, but these are the best places to start. Explore by destination or by the kind of trip you have in mind:

  • By destination: South Africa, Kenya, Tanzania & Zanzibar, Botswana, Victoria Falls, Rwanda.
  • By trip type: all-inclusive packages, family, honeymoon & couples, luxury, Cape Town & safari.
  • By question: how much it costs, best time to go, first-time safaris, is it safe, what to pack.

Planned by people, tracked on your phone

Once your journey is designed, every day of it lives in the Ranger Buck Travel Key app — flights, transfers, drives and dinners, in order. It’s a small thing our guests mention again and again, because it means never wondering what happens next.
