The best time to visit South Africa on safari is from April to October. The water sources are drying up which means animals including predators (lion, leopard, wild dog, and cheetah) congregate around water holes making for excellent sightings. Predators are more active, thus increasing your chance to see them and potentially a kill. Foliage in the bushveld is sparse making viewing easier.
Are private safari tours a safe travel option for Southern Africa? Yes! Private travel in Africa is definitely safer than public or shared big group travel. That’s why more and more travelers are booking private tours to create safe travel bubbles. The days of big group bus tours are over!
Due to the global epidemic, travel safety has become more very important. Travelers are very keen to get back out there. But, we are finding that our clients are looking for the safest travel options because of COVID-19.
Going on a safari with children is a life-changing experience. The landscape is one huge outdoor classroom and safari guides will be one of the most inspiring teachers your kids ever have.
Children aged eight and up will gain the most from a safari holiday, journeys can be long, and 5am games drive chilly. Bush walks may be limited to those over 12, so do check with your tour operator.
There’s nothing quite like exploring Southern Africa at your own pace and in your own time. While most safari packages adhere to a predetermined itinerary, a self-drive safari is where you get to take control.
We have designed each trip carefully picking only the most suitable routes, lodges and activities depending on your style and choice of travel.
Travelers are expertly escorted by either Craig Lucke or Gerard Maritz. Our ethos is “the guide is the difference between an average or a great tour”.
