South Africa

The flagship of South Africa, the world-renowned Kruger offers a wildlife experience that ranks with the very best in Africa. It runs from north to south covering 220 miles and includes the wonderful high-end Sabi Sands game reserve, famed for its impressive levels of wildlife including, famously, its huge population of leopards. The Kruger is a must for any safari goer.  

The Greater Kruger refers to the protected land west of the Park, in the provinces of Limpopo & Mpumalanga. Formed of various private reserves, wildlife can roam freely now that fences to the park have been removed. The most well-known of these private game reserves are Balule, Klaserie, Timbavati, Kapama, Thornybush, Manyeleti & Makalili. 

Home to the Big 5, Madikwe is situated on the border with Botswana, close to the Kalahari Desert. This hidden gem is regarded as one of the best conservation areas in Africa and is a great alternative to the Kruger if you are looking for something a little more off the beaten track. With high quality accommodation and incredible game viewing, it is simply superb. 

Cape Town needs no introduction. Most famous for Table Mountain, it is also known for its diversity and the many cultures who inhabit it. There are beautiful beaches, wine farms and mountain ranges covering the peninsular and we cannot recommend highly enough including a visit to this incredible city during your travels to South Africa.

With Cape Town at its heart, The Western Cape is a dynamic region where cultures, flavours and experiences converge. From the Winelands to the beaches, to the rich fauna and flora, it offers everything from adrenaline-filled adventures to relaxing pastimes. It is home to Stellenbosch and includes part of The Garden Route

The Eastern Cape offers superb opportunity for a slightly shorter safari combined with an incredible adventure along its coastline and part of the The Garden Route. It is home to the famous Shamwari Game Reserve and being malaria-free, it can be a great option for families. Perfect for those looking for a variety of things to do and absorb the true essence of South Africa. 

Located in the Mpumalanga province, The Panorama Route is a scenic road that connects many cultural and natural attractions. Centred round the Blyde River Canyon and home to the famous Gods Window, it is truly breathtaking and is a great option to tag onto a safari in or around The Kruger National Park. 

This coastal South African province is known for its beaches, big game savannahs and the magnificent Drakensberg Mountains. It also home to the historic battlefields and borders Mozambique, Lesotho and Eswatini. This is another destination with a huge variety of adventure and cultural learning, all of which can be combined with a wildlife safari.
