South Africa is a land of diverse beauty, offering stunning scenery and extra-ordinary sunsets along with wildlife and natural wonders. The guides know the best times and places to fine the Big Five - lion, leopard, rhinoceros, elephant, and Cape buffalo - as well as a plethora of other species, from a great variety of birds and giraffes to zebras and hippos. The team is comprised of highly experienced hosts and guides who are not only passionate about showing you South Africa, but who are also deeply knowledgeable about the wildlife behaviors and habitats, culture, and ecosystems of South Africa. They are dedicated to providing each participant with a safe, informative, inspiring, and fun journey that you will remember for your lifetime, all while maintaining a respectful distance to ensure the animals' and participants' well-being.

 

The lodges and camps are carefully selected to offer the perfect blend of comfort and authenticity, with fully running water and electricity. Enjoy wonderful African cuisine, as well as absorbing their culture.

 

The participants safety is their top priority. The guides are trained in first aid and are equipped with the knowledge and tools to handle any situation that may arise. They adhere to strict safety protocols to ensure that the journey is both thrilling and secure.

 

The guides are also committed to sustainable tourism practices. By choosing this safari, the participant is supporting conservation efforts and local communities in South Africa.
