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.
Elephant Safari
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.
