Iconic Africa

World's Best Custom Luxury Safari Operators 2019, 2020 & 2021 - Travel & Tourism Awa We ensure we give back. The rest is ours to take care of.

Iconic Africa was founded by Terri Abadi, in 2013 with the primary objective of enticing global travellers to our African shores to showcase our incredible continent and simultaneously try help to give back and make a difference. Terri spent numerous holidays during her African childhood visiting the Kruger National Park, Botswana and many other wilderness areas and it was during this time that h

er rare love for the African “bushveld” developed. Even by Terri’s husband’s admission, Terri’s passion often borders on insanity! She is unable to contain this love for Africa and this thread runs unfailingly through the Iconic Africa team. A passion for all that Africa has to offer, be it the wildlife, the people or the many ongoing conservation efforts. However, Iconic Africa doesn’t just tailor and prepare Luxury Safari’s. In bringing people to Africa, Iconic Africa is able to contribute back and uplift many of the most disadvantaged parts of Africa which so desperately need our support. Before entering the travel and safari industry, Terri owned two successful American fashion companies and used these as leverage to build an export business that shipped innovative children’s products back to South Africa. Now living in Atlanta, Georgia, Terri enjoys spending the summer months on safari with her husband and four children. Terri ensures she has personally assessed each and every travel experience Iconic Africa recommends to our clients. With this first-hand experience of each region, Terri has grown Iconic Africa into one of the leading planning services for elite travel to Southern and Eastern Africa.

Few things are as enjoyable to spend time around than elephants at water or mud. As temperatures rise towards the start of summer and water resources are still limited (the southern African bush receives summer rainfall), elephants are forced to congregate around the remaining pools, which can often provide wonderful spectacles as they cover themselves in mud to cool down... This particular pool in Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe, provides hours of incredible elephant viewing on a daily basis during September each year. Get in touch through [email protected] if you'd want a spectacle like this to form part of your safari... . . . #elephant #hwange #splash #play #swim #family #big5 #wilderness #zimbabwe #luxurysafari #luxtravel #iconicafrica
