A true South African Safari is on many traveller's Wishlist, for good reason; it truly is one or ever THE most incredible experience many of our Guests say they have ever experienced.
It is a chance to witness the awe of the Big 5 and other wildlife in their natural environment, in a way that is sustainable, educational and supports the conservation of these incredible animals. ​The reason a South African Safari is on so many people's wish-lists is no surprise, but it is an investment you don't want to get wrong. There is a lot to take into consideration when planning your trip to South Africa in general, and depending on where you are travelling from, can be a challenge to even get to. Certain Game Reserves are best for different requirements. Our experienced Travel Concierges will guide you through the whole process and help curate your perfect South African Safari for you, at no additional cost to you! Why wouldn't you want your own personal Travel Concierge on hand throughout the process to help plan your perfect trip to South Africa?
