South Africa Luxury Safari

A South Africa luxury safari in the private Kruger reserves, malaria-free Madikwe or Eastern Cape Big 5 reserves all guaranteed phenomenal game viewing with top guides as well as all those pampering extras, from flawless flawless service to fine cuisine.

Relax next to the pool of your apartment-sized suite in exclusive Kruger accommodation or, for even more space and flexibility, what about a private safari villa? It's just like having your own luxurious home in the bush, complete with a private guide, chef and tracker.

It's no co-incidence that most of our recommended lodges are in the world-renowned Sabi Sands Reserve, after all this private reserve is home to names like Londolozi and Singita, the pioneers of the luxury safari experience.

Imagine setting off on a dawn game drive through Acacia groves and across open grassland: stopping close to a large heard of elephant, spotting a leopard up a tree and watching a couple of playful lion cubs.

There's no doubt that a South Africa luxury safari is filled with unforgettable wildlife moments in an environment that gives you the chance to escape the stresses of everyday life - and nobody understands this better than our selection of recommended lodges.

Our Travellers' Reviews of South Africa Luxury Safari Lodges:

"We loved Singita Boulders and can't wait to go back. It is an elegant, customer-oriented game lodge. We have traveled all over the world, stayed in many wonderful places, and Singita Boulders ranks at the top of our list."

D. Berry, Go2Africa Traveller July 2009

"We were especially happy with Londolozi. They upgraded us to a Granite Suite, which was amazing!"

Kimberlee Espinosa, Go2Africa Traveller (Aug 2009)

"The lodge and rooms at Kwandwe are A++: my private plunge pool was so private and wonderful.

"The staff are extremely attentive and remember everything about you. The Lodge Manager (Nina I think) is very warm and caring; she greeted us every time we returned from safari with towels and drinks and seemed genuinely interested in what we had done. And it's true that you hug everyone when you leave; you just can't help it."

Alexandra McLeod, Go2Africa Traveller (Jan 2010)
