Activities
Walking Safaris
Walking safaris are where all your senses are heightened and you can see, hear, smell and feel the bush.
Game Drives
Night drives typically begin as an extension of the afternoon game drive or walking safari. As dusk falls, you'll stop to watch the sunset before setting off to discover the nocturnal wildlife. This is the prime time to encounter genets, civets, elephant shrews, porcupines, and fierce honey badgers.
Large predators, except wild dogs, are also more active after dark, enhancing your chances of thrilling sightings. Birdwatching at night is equally rewarding, with an abundance of nightjars, owls, dikkops, bat hawks, and coursers.
Star Gazing
The African night sky, free from light pollution, offers a breathtaking backdrop. The brilliance of the Milky Way and constellations like the Southern Cross, Orion, and Scorpio add to the unforgettable experience. The distant calls of lions, cicadas, and tree frogs under the crescent moon create lasting memories of the African wilderness.

Safari booked. SA here I come.
I have never been to SA before, so naturally I was a bit apprehensive about booking a safari on my own. I turned to safari.com for help and I'm so glad I did. Keith was so helpful, patient and saved me money! That's a win, win, win. I would recommend safari.com to anyone planning their trip and their experiences in SA.

Great customer service
Heleen went out of her way to find us accommodation. We left our planning way to late and were looking at the busiest time of year yet she worked her magic.
