A South African Safari is a life changing experience. Being away from cars, phones, television and all the technologies that form part of life today, enables you to really focus on the environment, providing an understanding of how precious the natural world really is.

As a all round safari destination South Africa has to be the best. There are so many different options to choose, from an affordable self drive option to the most luxurious organised safaris. There are many game reserves and National Parks that are all different from dessert to thick forests and typical Savannah, thus allowing for different types of animals to be found. More than just safaris South Africa is a great all round destination, we have some of the best golf courses in the world and most beautiful beaches. So whilst in the country you can enjoy a range of different experiences. Not forgetting the most amazing of all the natural wildlife that occur. This website is here to serve as a guide to getting the most out of your South-African-safari-experience.

Seeing animals in their natural habitats, living in a balanced, ordered way where killing is for food and never needless, where survival relies on health and instinct and where respect is earned and never given, leaves us with a feeling of awe at the complexities of nature.

Imagine spotting the ‘Big 5’: the depth and throatiness of the lion’s roar; the beauty of the stealthy leopard; the lumbering rhino camouflaging its huge mass in a bush not 10 meters away; the dust rising from thousands of buffalo on the move and the touching sight of a baby elephant clutching its mother’s tail with its trunk. All these experiences will be with you forever.

Seeing migratory birds, exhausted after their long flights, settling in the same nest as the previous year, hearing the call of a soaring fish eagle or watching a lilac breasted roller rise high into the air only to plummet back to earth, rolling as it goes in a brave and spectacular mating ritual, are all part of a South African safari.

The smell of the bush, the screeching cicadas, the morning chorus of doves and chats, the brilliant sunshine and the vast skies can never be adequately described. You have to experience an African night sky with the Milky Way stretched out in a twinkling mass, the Southern Cross, a perfect reminder that you are in Africa, steadfast in the sky. The sheer number of stars visible is unimaginable.

Offering easy access to the bush via air flights or good quality roads, South Africa makes safaris easy. Whether you wish to camp or stay in small bungalows, opt for a well priced safari package or choose a luxurious 5 star bush experience, you will always be able to find an option that suits you best.

It would be wrong to call a South African safari a ‘once in a lifetime experience’ because so many people who visit the game reserves and parks, return time after time. Each visit creates new memories of a unique world and enhances an understanding and awareness of our ecology and the need for its conservation.
