From the wildest and most remote safari regions to the cosmopolitan culture and beauty of South Africa, southern Africa offers astonishing hospitality and diversity:
Excellent Game Viewing
 Like East Africa, Southern Africa offers an outstanding and rewarding game-viewing experience. One of the reasons for this is that game drives are conducted in open 4x4 safari vehicles, as opposed to the mini-van which is the most common safari vehicle in East Africa (although there are some exceptions). The open vehicle allows unparalleled visibility and the unique, raised seating in some of the vehicles will spoil you forever! Safari guides in southern Africa are the most highly-trained and respected professionals in their field and their knowledge will be one of the main reasons that your safari to southern Africa is an educational experience as well as surpassing your expectations.
A Variety of Safari Activities
Southern Africa is quite creative in terms of ways to view wildlife. Apart from the usual game drives, you will find that many camps offer night game drives as well as wilderness walks. You can also view wildlife by canoe and mokoro, on mountain bikes as well as by horse and elephant back! Microlighting, whitewater rafting and bunji-jumping are also possible.
Small Camps
Many of the safari camps and lodges can accommodate no more than 16-20 guests at a time, ensuring an intimate, personalized and non-touristy experience on safari. Often you will see only one or two other vehicles on a game drive and for the rest of your safari, you are truly out in the bush. This is attractive to travelers who want to feel as though they are away from the crowds and off the beaten track.
More Than Safari
Beyond the safari experience, the cosmopolitan cities and coastline of South Africa, the adventure activities of Victoria Falls, the beaches of the Indian Ocean Islands and the striking landscapes of Namibia can be the perfect complement to your safari and we encourage you to take advantage of the amazing contrasts of this region.
