South Africa

Why is South Africa a Favorite Safari Destination?

Is it the vast natural beauty of the land and its abundant wildlife?
Perhaps it’s the generous welcome you’ll receive from its warm, friendly people.
Or maybe because here in South Africa you will find a “World in One Country” with its cosmopolitan cities, so inviting with their many cultures.

South Africa, positioned at the southern tip of the African continent, is acknowledged as “a world in one country.” It offers a wealth of pristine wilderness, which is complemented by the country’s warm hospitality. In northeastern South Africa, one will encounter 16 ecosystems and experience the thrill of spotting the Big Five (lion, African elephant, Cape buffalo, leopard, and rhinoceros) at world-renowned private game reserves located by Kruger National Park. The game lodges offer highly professional guides on safari with luxury accommodation, making South Africa the preferred choice for a luxury safari. Off the southwest coast of the country lies Cape Town with its Tempting white-sand beaches. Dramatic rock formations. Charming fishing villages. Plus, Zebras, Baboons & Penguins! There’s so much to see, do, and experience on this busy one-day tour of the Cape Peninsula, Table Mountain, Boulders Beach, and the award-winning restaurants and boutique wineries.
