SAFARIS
Safaris in South Africa offer guests every modern comfort while capturing
the romance of those old fashioned expeditions. The country has preserved
wide tracks of land for the sole purpose of conservation and here
guests can enjoy a range of safari experiences and close encounters
with animals in the wild.
Options include the Kruger National Park and its numerous self catering
camps on self drive or guided packages or neighbouring private game
reserves in 4X4 vehicles, exclusive accommodation, private game ranger
and a more intimate bush experience.
During the day the pastel colours of a bush sunrise and an early morning
game drive to try and spot game just before they settle down to rest
for the day. Sharp eyed trackers are expert at reading clues in this
ancient game of hide and seek, the adrenaline pumps and the challenge
is on. After dark with the aid of spotlights, trackers and rangers
follow the nocturnal animals, especially the big cats.
