Meeting exotic wildlife on a luxury South Africa safari is a thrilling moment, and a memory you’ll keep forever. The world-renowned Kruger National Park is the ultimate safari destination with broad grassy plains and thick African bush, resting beneath the Lebomo Mountains. Unfenced Sabi Sands Game Reserve borders Kruger, providing excellent game viewing opportunities and luxury lodges.

South Africa’s many safari destinations include Addo Elephant Park in the Eastern Cape, home to over 500 elephants; award-winning Phinda Private Game Reserve in KwaZulu-Natal, famed for its rare black rhino and elusive cheetah; Madikwe Game Reserve, known for family-friendly lodges and plentiful animal sightings; and Kwande - an excellent malaria-free nature reserve in the Eastern Cape.

From bush camps to elegant farmhouses, there are plenty of luxury safari lodges where you can shake off the dust of the drive and relax poolside during the heat of the day.
