SOUTH AFRICA WILDLIFE SAFARIS

South Africa is world-renowned for its breathtaking beauty and abundant wildlife, and it is the ideal holiday destination for adventure seekers across the world. Teeming with magnificent birds, indigenous plants and majestic beasts of the wild, South Africa’s stunning landscape provides the perfect backdrop for your wildlife safaris and outdoor expeditions.

Journey into the heart of the African bushveld

Exploring the country’s national parks and game reserves with a South Africa safari will give you an unrivalled wildlife experience, and offer you the best opportunity to enjoy Africa’s immense beauty. The Kruger National Park, situated in the South African Lowveld, and the Hluhluwe-Umfolozi Park in Kwazulu-Natal, are home to South Africa’s greatest wild animals – the lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhinoceros, collectively known as the Big Five. The reserves offer visitors the opportunity to view a diverse array of birds and animals in their natural habitat.

Stretched out against the south-western border of the Kruger National Park is the exclusive Sabi Sands Game Reserve. Sabi Sands is a luxurious private game lodge and, as there are no borders separating it from the Kruger Park, the animals wander freely between the two reserves. Without a doubt, Sabi Sands’ greatest attraction is its leopards. These powerful creatures have become accustomed to the safari vehicles that venture through their territory, and as a result, they are often spotted by visitors to the reserve. Witnessing a kill at such close range will set your adrenaline pumping!

Your South Africa safari experience should also include a visit to the Madikwe Game Reserve in the country’s North West Province, which offers tourists the chance to view the highly endangered rhinoceros. The reserve boasts both black and white rhinos – enormous animals that are battling extinction as they are poached for their horns. Madikwe is also home to the other members of the Big Five, as well as many species of buck and antelope.

Those who want to observe the world’s largest land mammal in the flesh must include the Addo Elephant Park in their safari experience. This world-famous reserve, situated in the Sunday’s River region of the Eastern Cape, offers sightseers the chance to view more than 450 elephants – up close and personal. Tourists and locals alike flock to Addo to catch a glimpse of the biggest of the Big Five dwelling in this sanctuary. From your vantage point overlooking the dense bushveld, you can watch as the elephants bask under the African sun, side-by-side with warthogs, eland, black rhinos and buffalo. Many wildlife safaris to South Africa include this famous park in their itinerary.
