Game Safari

South Africa protected wilderness areas are second to none. The Country is one of the best places in Africa for seeing the 'big 5; - lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo - in addition to a huge range of other animals. South Africa also has one of the greatest diversities of bird species in the world.

Wildlife reserves can be found throughout South Africa. National Parks such as the world famous Kruger cater mainly for self drive visitors offering comfortable overnight accommodation and generally on a self catering basis, although guided game drives are also offered. Private Game Reserves have a special appeal. On dawn or dusk game drives in open-topped vehicles or walking safaris, they offer the chance to explore deep in to the bush, accompanied by armed, experienced rangers. The ambience in the lodges and camps - which are generally furnished to luxury standards- is relaxed and the service highly personalised. Evening meals are frequently served under the stars around a camp-fire in a circle of reeds known as a 'boma'.

There is a wide range of Malarial and non Malarial lodges to choose from. We will gladly suggest a safari experience to suit your requirements and budget.

Best months for viewing
Although game viewing takes place throughout the year, the ideal time is during the dry season from August through to mid - October when the vegetation is sparser an thirst drives wildlife to the waterholes.

Elephants move through all types of terrain with relative ease, and game viewing from this lofty position carries the huge advantage of the resident wild life being unaware of the human presence, a rare and thrilling experience. Elephant back safaris are offered through out South Africa and Botswana.

Only Botswana can offer the mysterious water world of the Okavango Delta, the harsh wilderness and vast saltpans of the Kalahari and the rigorous desert of the Kgalagadi Trans Frontier Park. Some of the highest concentrations of elephants and game anywhere in the world can be found in Chobe. A popular safari option is where tourists are taken to Mokoro stations located in the Okavango Delta by boat or 4WD. A Moloro is a traditional dugout canoe carved from a single piece of wood. Visitors are introduced to their Botswana polers who look after them for the length of your stay. As you explore the waterways you can visit small islands and observe the unusual flora and fauna in this unique environment.

Tourists can enjoy safari by elephant, horse, walking , cycling as well as the conventional safari vehicle.
