Enjoy nature and sunshine on a bucket-list South Africa safari, including meals, flights, transfers, shared game drives, and a comfort lodge
Embark on a bucket-list safari adventure in South Africa, and watch the sun rise and fall over the endless African savannah as you search for rhinos, lions, elephant, leopard and more. Start your journey in Johannesburg before heading to the natural wilderness of the Moholoholo Forest Camp on the banks of the Blyde River. During your stay, you'll head out on multiple game drives, including a full day exploring the Kruger National Park with an experienced ranger. From elephants and lions to zebras and warthogs, see some of the world's most fascinating animals up close and running free in their natural habitat - all from your open top safari jeep, with spacious and airy accommodation for comfort and safety. With transport, meals, shared game drives, a South African bush walk and more included, the hardest decision you'll have to make is when to go.
