Best Camps and Lodges in South Africa for safari

The best family safaris in South Africa

South Africa caters brilliantly for families. From homesteads that run as separate entities in the Greater Kruger like Tintswalo Safari Lodge's Manor House or the Morukuru Collection in Madikwe. These options come with their own private vehicle, a private guide, tracker, chef and hospitality team to ensure families can tailor make their days as well as receive the intimate and personal service which makes a safari all the more special.

Non-Malarial safaris in South Africa

South Africa can also offer great non-malarial safari options. Tswalu being the pick of the lodges. Situated amongst the red sand dunes of the Kalahari, here you are guaranteed a private vehicle as well as your own guide and tracker. The highlight of Tswalu is the focus on the shy and elusive animals like the pangolin and aardvark which makes it a must-visit destination for safari fanatics.

Big Five safaris in South Africa

Overall, South Africa has some exceptional game viewing opportunities. The Sabi Sands offers some of the best chances in the world to see all the big five, plus so much more. From the lavish Singita Boulders to the more authentic bush camp like Notten's, every kind of accommodation is available.

Whilst the Kruger National Park is often busy and full of day visitors, small pockets of private concessions within the park gives visitors the chance to escape the crowds and the tarred roads, yet still make the most of the incredible game viewing that is on offer.

With South Africa having a great transport network, there is the possibility of adding on Victoria Falls or Cape Town before or after you safari. In Cape Town there is the perfect opportunity to explore both the city and its natural wonders, as well as the wine regions where you can sample some of the best food and drink in the world.
