A safari in South Africa is a once in a lifetime holiday. Let us take you there.

Looking for an exceptional safari experience this year? Immerse yourself in a South African safari holiday and witness some of the nation’s most striking wilderness destinations with us. Of course, you will have the rare opportunity to spot zebra, kudu, nyala and warthog in the wild but you can also savour the luxuries of staying in a safari camp. Perhaps you fancy a week-long stay at a tented camp set within the pristine African bush landscape of Kruger National Park, Africa’s longest-standing wildlife conservation area, where you can spend night after night unwinding beneath the glittering night sky. Or perhaps you prefer a family-friendly stay at a luxury lodge set against the dramatic backdrop of the UNESCO-listed Waterberg Mountains, where you can witness the Big Five roam Mabula Private Game Reserve.

Your South African safari holiday won’t be complete without taking in the nation’s astounding scenery on a panoramic drive or visiting a wildlife rehabilitation centre, where incredible work is being done to take care of some of South Africa’s most endangered creatures.
