South Africa Safari

There's nothing like the thrill of a South Africa safari: game drives in the soft morning light, watching a herd of elephant from the deck of your luxurious lodge, the intoxicating scent of the African bush, dining under a star-scattered sky ... but where to go?

For many, a safari in South Africa is synonymous with the Kruger National Park: the country's largest and most diverse game reserve, however, South Africa has many excellent safari regions from the malaria-free Madikwe to the Big 5 reserves of the Eastern Cape.

Choosing where to go largely depends of what you're looking for in your safari holiday, so we've helped to break it down for you.

For a luxury safari in South Africa a private Kruger reserves such as Londolozi or Singita (both in the world-renowned Sabi Sands) is an excellent choice. All these reserves are known for consistently good game viewing; massive, private suites; and top quality guides who drive off-road, giving you the chance to get close to wildlife sightings.

If you want a hassle-free family safari we'd recommend a malaria-free reserve such as the Madikwe, a top big game destination just 1.5 hours' drive from Sun City; the Pilanesberg, beautiful reserve centred round a large hippo- and croc-filled lake; or an Eastern Cape safari.

The Eastern Cape is also a great option for a safari and beach holiday as it's a short drive from the Garden Route. While those looking for a slightly more tropical beach break can fly from Kruger to Mozambique's Bazaruto Archipelago or even add on a couple of days in Mauritius (also a popular choice for a safari and spa holiday).

Remember to keep an eye on our safari specials page for the latest special deals. And, if you don't find exactly what you're looking for, contact one our African Safari Experts, and they'll tailor-make a South African safari to suit your needs and budget.
