Take a break from the corona chaos and let us show you your beautiful country, the one that usually only foreigners get to see, the one you’ve only dreamt of before…
For a limited time only, while you can’t travel overseas – why not take a short drive/flight away from reality and indulge in the ultimate 5-star safari experience.
While COVID-19 international travel restrictions still apply in South Africa, you can now start booking local leisure trips to safari lodges and camps in your province and surrounds.
The peace and quiet, starlit skies, lions roaring and evenings around the boma fire have never felt so close.
