South Africa

WHY GO

Probably the most versatile safari destination in Africa. Exceptional wildlife, beautiful lodges and private reserves combine easily with Cape Town, the Winelands and the coast. A fantastic choice for first-time safari travellers, families and anyone wanting safari plus food, wine and culture.

WHEN TO GO

Safari is excellent year-round. May–September brings cooler, drier weather and superb wildlife viewing in the Greater Kruger region. October–April is warmer and greener, with dramatic landscapes, newborn animals and wonderful birdlife. Cape Town is at its best during its warmer, drier summer months.

NOT SURE WHICH SAFARI DESTINATION IS RIGHT FOR YOU?

That’s where I come in. The best safari isn’t necessarily the most expensive one — it’s the one that matches how you want to travel.
