South Africa Safaris

Nestled between both the Atlantic and Indian Ocean, the sheer size of South Africa alone means the habitat varies from thick coastal forests to dry sandy deserts and everything in between. Safari holidays in South Africa are usually concentrated in private game reserves around the Kruger National Park. These elegant and luxurious lodges offer first class game viewing and with regular ‘Big Five’ sightings you are likely to be on the edge of your seat with awe-inspiring wildlife experiences. Swim with penguins on Boulders Beach or walk with lions in the Kruger National Park.
