Some safaris are about ticking off the Big 5, others about clinking glasses on a private deck under the stars. Pick the kind of trip you want and we’ll show you the reserves and lodges that do it best.
Each reserve has its specialities. We’ll match you with the lodges that give you the best chance of seeing what you’ve come to see.
Each reserve has its own character — landscape, density of wildlife, lodge style, price point. Tap in to see the lodges within.
A 9,000-hectare conservancy of restored bushveld in the Eastern Cape, home to the Big 5 and a tight cluster of family-run lodges with their own character.
The world’s most famous private reserve and the leopard capital of Africa. Iconic lodges and the highest-density Big 5 viewing on the continent.
South Africa’s flagship safari destination. Traverses thousands of square kilometres of unfenced wilderness shared with private concessions.
A vast malaria-free reserve on the Botswana border, known for excellent wild dog and big-cat viewing in a remote, uncrowded setting.
An extinct volcanic crater turned Big 5 sanctuary, easy to combine with a Joburg trip and a great introduction to the South African bush.
Big-sky Karoo landscapes, dramatic mountain backdrops, and a focus on conservation breeding. A quieter alternative to Kruger.
Lodges we’ve personally stayed at and would book our own family into. Tap any lodge to see rooms, rates, and live availability.
Stone-and-thatch suites perched above the Bushman’s River valley. 12 suites, two daily game drives, panoramic plains views.
Edwardian-inspired luxury in a private valley. Ten suites with claw-foot baths, fireplaces, and a colonial verandah overlooking the bushveld.
The most family-friendly lodge in Amakhala — interleading rooms, kid-conscious meals, dedicated kids’ programme, and a swimming pool with a view.
