African Safari

Big Five Photo Safari South Africa

 Timbavati, South Africa
 01st Jan - 31st Dec

Overview

On our Big 5 Photo Safari adventure, which runs all year round, experience the real magic of Africa at our carefully selected lodges, from ultra-luxury to luxury eco-lodges, which offer off-the-beaten experiences -no fencing between you and the wild! Enjoy intimate and thrilling wildlife encounters during Big Five game drives in open Land Rovers, guided bush walks and tracking game on foot with highly skilled and knowledgeable rangers and trackers.

We chose the Timbavati, which shares an unfenced border with the Kruger National Park, an area known for its good quality game viewing. Guests can expect to see the Big Five animals, hyena, hippo, giraffe, zebra and a whole host of other wildlife, and enjoy a true African bushveld experience.
