The country offers a vast range of National Parks and Private Reserves, covering huge expanses of land from mountain to coast, enveloping rivers, arid deserts and dense woodland to provide a rich variety of habitats for their prized and protected residents.
While Kruger Park in the Northern Province is one of the most celebrated places on earth for viewing wildlife, KwaZulu Natal introduces tropical swamps and lush forest ecosystems, and the award-winning southern reserves around Port Elizabeth bring the Big Five into designated Malaria free zones.
One of the most pleasurable components of your safari experience will undoubtedly be the astonishing collection of game lodges that lie dotted around the Parks and Reserves. From contemporary boutique style cabins and luxury treehouses, to subterranean lairs and colonial country manors, each offers a unique setting amid the untamed wilderness. Activities vary from lodge to lodge but most arrange a selection of thrilling day and night safari drives, bush treks and inspiring conservation tours.
