There is so much to see in Southern Africa! We are the best in planning your ideal holiday and to do it in a way that doesn't waste your money nor your even more precious time. We offer several Big Five African safari tour suggestions, but look at these only as a guideline. Do you want the Big Five on an African photo safari? How about 505 species of birds in one park?

A few suggestions: Some of the greatest wildlife reserves in the world are Kruger National Park, Hluhluwe-Umfolozi Reserve, Etosha Reserve in Namibia, and Chobe and Moremi in Botswana. There are also super Adventure travel in places such as Mkuze, Ithala, Tembe Elephant Reserve, Ndumo, Addo Elephant, Kalahari Gemsbok, and most have the big five. How about hiking in some of the most beautiful mountains in the world: the Drakensbergs? Blyde River Canyon, or even far south in Natal where you can see 3000 year old bushman rock art? How about diving? South Africa is loaded with super spots, but Sodwana Bay in St Lucia is considered one of the tops in the world. The Kalahari? The Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park is one of the biggest in the world and a perfect example of the semi-desert savanna typical of the Kalahari region. We can go to the park or we can go on a 4x4 camping safari out so deep into the savannah that you never knew you could be so far away from yourself. But don't forget the more civilized...Cape Town is a dream. Visit the Stellenbosch wine region, the beaches, the Cape of Good Hope, the magnificent Garden Route. It is all possible.

You also have to consider how comprehensive of a tour you want. Do you want an all wildlife safari? There is no place better for wildlife. Do you want an African safari with a concentration on photography? On birding? On specific animals such as elephant, rhino, meerkats? Do you want an extreme adventure such as a balloon ride, white-water rafting on the Zambezi, or an elephant-back safari?

Things to consider and things we'd like you to share: 1) How long can you be away from home. I need to calculate just how much time you can spend in Africa. 2) How many people will be in your group? 3) What regions do you have an interest in seeing? 4) Can you cook? Can you cook well? If not, can you clean? 5) How many days of a wildlife safari do you think you'd want? 6) Do you like to relax and feel totally at ease? Do you want me to turn off my cell phone so that you won't get any calls? Do you like gin and tonics or wine at sunsets? 7) Do you mind going head to head with a rogue bull elephant in full must? Just kidding, that is my job.
