African Safari

Simply nothing compares to the rush of emotions experience on an African safari. It’s the thrill of a new romance. If you’ve been, you know that. If it’s your first, you too will feel that intoxication as all your yesterdays slip away and nothing matters but the magic of the moment. An African safari isn’t simply an exhilarating wildlife adventure, it’s a journey of self-discovery. Being in the raw heart of Africa, whether in luxuriously appointed accommodation or back-to-nature simplicity, no two moments are the same. A pulse-racing encounter with rare wild dogs, the describable joy or watching lion cubs at play, the inner peace found in the vastness of the landscape and the heart of a roaring log fire.

Africa is blessed with an abundance of protected wildlife areas where the “Big Five” and many, many smaller creatures roam free. For birders, we say “welcome to paradise”. With the changing seasons, wildlife migrations, ever-changing landscapes and vastly different eco-systems, each new day, each new area holds the promise of something new. South African safari destinations are not only plentiful but include astonishingly diverse experiences gaining in popularity from the Madikwe Game Reserve north of Sun City, to the abundance of white rhino in lush Kwa-Zulu Natal, to the private reserves and breathtaking southern right whales of the Western Cape.
