Explore New Horizons On A South African Safari

For good reason, many people believe that South Africa is one of the most fascinating countries in the world. It is a place filled with geographical and cultural diversity, extraordinary wildlife, and cosmopolitan cities that can compete with those favored by the elite. Cape Town, for example, has such a wide variety of lavish accommodation, interesting tourist attractions and amazing dining possibilities, it would knock even the most seasoned traveler out of his socks. From botanical gardens, a giant stadium with dome, delightful architecture, and enticing sandy beaches… this city has it all.
Booking a South is on many a traveler’s wish list. It is an objective that should be pursued at all cost, because exploring this magnificent country will create an unforgettable experience. Imagine all the possibilities! You could, for instance:

• Stay in the ‘Cape Winelands’ regions of Stellenbosch, Paarl or Franschhoek and treat yourself to an exclusive gourmet wine and dine adventure, dipped in a French village atmosphere. A visit to this region can also include visiting various private wine estates.

• Cruise the famous Garden Route, a picturesque stretch of coastline between Mossel Bay and Nature’s Valley. You absolutely do not want to miss the vast Tsitsikamma Forest.

• Book reservations at a superb game lodge near Kruger National Park. This large game reserve, which spans 18,989 square kilometres (7,332 sq mi), is home to an immense variety of wildlife, from thousands of herds of antelope, the Big Five (buffalo, elephant, leopard, lion, and rhinoceros), to numerous unusual bird species.

• Take your entire family to explore the wild terrain of the Madikwe Game Reserve. These beautiful landscapes encompass vast open plains, dense bush fields and towering rock formations, all housing a kaleidoscope of native creatures. This region is malaria free, therefore, ideal for family safaris

• Expand your cultural and historical horizons by visiting the Apartheid Museum and Soweto, an urban area of the city of Johannesburg. The Apartheid Museum is dedicated to apartheid, as well as 20th century South African history. It offers a great opportunity to enrich your historical knowledge during your already exciting and educational South Arica safari. Although you may view your holiday as a leisure vacation, you are bound to pick up a few new facts along the way.

• Add romance and magic to your african safari travels by booking passage on the ‘Rovos Rail,’ the most luxurious train in the world. Combining the richness of pre-war travel, subtle modern conveniences, five-star dining, fine local wines, and magnificent landscapes and landmarks is a sure recipe for an unforgettable journey.

• Incorporate two World Heritage Sites. It would be a shame to pass over the Greater St Lucia Wetland Park and the Ukhahlamba Drakensberg Park, two spectacular subtropical regions near the Indian Ocean. They are an absolute must for every South Africa safari.
South Africa is a dynamic country, built on African, European and Asian influences. Its culture and heritage are so diverse; it was crowned “A World In One Country.” This is absolutely true, and anyone disputing this title should put their opinions on hold until they experience their own South Africa safari.


Encompass Africa creates dream african safari experiences. You will stay in the heart of the action, get up and close to the animals and see the beautiful landscapes on your african safari.
