South African Safari Adventure
We love...
Undertaking safaris in four very different environments of South Africa. With varied wildlife and landscapes, it’s a dream trip for safari lovers.
People often talk of the emotional power of seeing creatures like lions and elephants in their natural habitats. And there are few better places to experience it than South Africa. Travelling to four different reserves, we give you the chance to see the Big Five, plus antelopes, hippos, hyena and countless bird species. In between, we’ll cross dramatic mountain landscapes and learn of the area’s ancient civilisations. On our South Africa safari holidays, we’ll stay in wonderfully welcoming lodges, sharing memories of the day’s encounters.
