South Africa Safaris

A safari in South Africa is one of the most unforgettable travel experiences you can have, where golden savannahs stretch endlessly and wildlife encounters unfold in some of Africa’s most iconic reserves. Imagine observing the Big Five - lions, elephants, leopards, rhinos, and buffalo, in their natural habitat, set against vast, untamed landscapes.

Kruger National Park is a top destination for safari-goers, offering the chance to explore either on a self-drive safari or with a guided game drive. It’s one of Africa’s largest game reserves, where you can spot wildlife at your own pace. For a more exclusive experience, the neighbouring private reserves like Sabi Sands and Timbavati offer intimate safari encounters with exceptional wildlife sightings. These private reserves mean fewer crowds, more immersive encounters, and are home to some stunning lodges such as Chitwa Chitwa and Lion Sands River Camp.

For a completely unique safari experience, &Beyond Ngala Treehouse in Ngala Game Reserve offers a chance to sleep under the stars in a beautifully designed treehouse, surrounded by the sights and sounds of the bush. Ngala is located in a private reserve with open borders to Kruger, making it a perfect destination for those seeking both comfort and adventure.

If you're seeking something a little wilder and more off the beaten path, KwaZulu-Natal’s Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park offers rugged beauty and excellent rhino sightings, while Madikwe Game Reserve, near the Botswana border, is a popular spot with families thanks to its malaria-free safaris. Madikwe provides a safe and comfortable safari experience while still delivering wonderful wildlife encounters.

South Africa’s safari offerings cater to all kinds of adventurers. Walking safaris, night drives, and the opportunity to spot elusive nocturnal creatures like aardvarks and leopards bring an entirely different dimension to the experience. Whether you’re staying in a luxury lodge or a remote tented camp, a South African safari allows you to connect deeply with nature in a way that is both humbling and exhilarating. South Africa truly offers a chance to get closer to nature in a way that stays with you long after you leave.
