Private Safaris in South Africa are great experiences for families, groups, or couples. They resemble the drama and intrigue of a 19th-century explorer unearthing the secrets and beauties of an unknown land, one stunning region at a time. Our expert tour guides ensure the expedition runs smoothly, and unforgettable experiences await the African Sky traveler.
Our National Parks Overland Safari takes travelers to 4 major national parks across four provinces of South Africa. The Kruger National Park in the country’s far north is known for its range of habitats, wildlife, and great herds of elephants and buffalo. Next, it's off to KwaZulu-Natal and the highlands of Ithala, where Eland, Ostrich, and Secretary Bird can be seen. We then move on to Hluhluwe-iMfolozi, the fortress of the White Rhino in years past when the species was facing extinction, and then the Addo Elephant National Park in the Eastern Cape. Here, Spekboom thickets, Black Rhino, and a large marine protected area where several whale species can be seen during various parts of the year await guests. Finally, the tour ends at the Pilanesberg, an ancient volcano that went extinct millions of years ago, where scattered hills and beautiful bushveld will leave you longing to return.
Our 9-day Kruger and Zululand safari tour takes all the Kruger National Park and KwaZulu-Natal highlights of the 15-day National Parks Safari Package before extending into the landlocked monarchy of eSwatini. This is one of the last remaining absolute monarchies in the world and is home to beautiful green subtropical habitats. Guests spend a night in this curious little country in ‘Heaven Valley,’ or Ezulwini as the locals call it.
For those looking to explore the Kruger National Park fully, several weeks would be necessary; our 7-Day Kruger Tour does, however, show you most of the highlights of this vast wilderness. Our expert guides take you from the north of the park, where ancient Baobab trees and Fever Tree forests give way to rolling grasslands in the center. This is where the bulk of the big game is found in the park and where you’re most likely to see those great herds of African beasts. The south is a leopard country full of various bird species not found in other parts of the park.
This six-day safari is a good option for a more family-focused safari. As with our other Kruger safari packages, guests will explore the Kruger National Park, especially the central region. The safari then veers westwards to the Timbavati Private Game Reserve, where luxury lodges dominate, and the only naturally occurring white lions in the world are found. There is something for everyone here, with a mix of relaxation and adventure for the whole family.
Finally, we have a 5-day Safari itinerary focusing on the center and lower part of the park. Our expert guides take you through the lush wilderness and tell stories of the many animals and how nature interlinks to create the complex ecosystems and habitats you will see here. Every animal has a role to play, and finding some lesser-known species is often a thrilling adventure best undertaken with a healthy dose of sunset views and sundowners.
