Your Private South Africa Safari
South Africa has over 20 National Game Reserves and numerous private game reserves. Each reserve has a slightly different ecosystem and therefore the wildlife varies between reserves. Each park is different and your consultant will be able to guide you to the right one for you.
The most famous is The Kruger Park, the largest and oldest in the country. It covers 20,000km and is run by the South Africa Government, next to the main park is approximately 20 private reserves. The second-largest park is Madikwe Game Reserve, famous for its wild dog sightings and for being malaria-free. Then there are numerous private reserves in the Eastern Cape area of South Africa which are ideal for families or self-drivers. Any of these areas will provide a fantastic first-time safari experience. For couples and honeymooners, the private reserves in the Kruger offer exceptional luxury and the chance for you to reconnect with nature in a peaceful environment.
The safari guides are some of the best in Africa, they have a passion for what they do and are highly trained. The lodges are committed to protecting the wildlife to conserve it for future generations. There are numerous conservation programs guests can get involved in when they visit. One of my favourite pastimes on safari is sitting on the deck watching the elephants, Jamala Madikwe has a fantastic viewing deck.

FAQs
What are the best destinations to combine with a South African safari?
Cape Town offers a great contrast to a safari, a modern city with a great food and wine scene. There is also history, wildlife and beaches. The Garden Route is a beautiful area of coastline with long beaches, forests and rivers to explore. And, finally, many people will fly to Mozambique or Mauritius after their safari to enjoy the warm Indian Ocean and white sand beaches.
Is Travel to South Africa expensive?
The Rand is quite weak against other major currencies. Your money goes a very long way in South Africa. People are always amazed that they can eat and drink in award-winning restaurants at a fraction of the usual cost.
Is South Africa a good destination for families?
South Africa is one of the few countries in Africa that has malaria-free safaris, this is so important, especially for small children. These malaria-free reserves have lodges that are specially designed for families. They have special kids clubs, kids game drives and are fully fenced to keep the wildlife out of camp. Aside from safari, South Africa has great beaches, forest to explore and rivers to kayak. There is an endless list of outdoor activities for a family to enjoy.
Is South Africa safe?
Keep your personal belonging safe and be discreet with expensive items. At night, it is fine to walk around the Waterfront area of Cape Town as it is a busy restaurant and shopping area. Ubers are common throughout South Africa and easy to order. Your hotel will also help you to arrange transport. They are also so many guided days tours available; the tour leader will be local and ensure your safety. It’s also a great way to see the real South Africa. On safari, you will be completely safe but there are procedures to follow to ensure your safety. Your guide will run through all of these when you arrive on safari.
How much is a safari in South Africa?
You can spend as much as you want in South Africa! There is no shortage of choice, with lodges in every price bracket. Safari lodges start from £200 per person. For people on a budget, you can do a great self-drive trip, staying in guesthouses with a few nights at the end in a mid rage safari lodge for £1000 per person. You can then go to other extreme and stay in a luxury five-star game lodge in the Sabi Sands Private Game Reserve for £8000 per person.
