You will expereince breathtaking scenery, vewYour Holiday to Africa is considered incomplete without visiting these two great safari destinations. Kenya & Tanzania are enchanting countries and few places in the world can better its varied touristic attractions. The overwhelming appeal of the wildlife sanctuaries, combined with, breathtaking scenery, rolling plains and grasslands, stretching far into the horizons as far as the eye can see is home to the black-manned lion, the savannah elephant, the Cape buffalo, wildebeests ,the elusive leopard, cheetah, the spotted & stripped hyena, the rhino, topi, burchelle's zebra, the Maasai giraffe among many others. The Mara game reserve is one that can never disappoint. The perfect climate combined with hospitable people and luxurious accommodation. Tanzania's oldest and most popular national park, also a world heritage site and recently proclaimed a 7th world wide wonder, the Serengeti is famed for its annual migration, when some six million hooves pound the open plains, as more than 200,000 zebra and 300,000 Thomson's gazelle join the wildebeest's trek for fresh grazing. Yet even when the migration is quiet, the Serengeti offers arguably the most scintillating game-viewing in Africa: great herds of buffalo, smaller groups of elephant and giraffe, and thousands upon thousands of eland, topi, kongoni, impala and Grant's gazelle.

  • Information Is Worthless
    Your Southern African Travel Specialist SAFARIS There is a reason why safaris are the top choice of activity in South Africa. With close to 3 million hectares of the country covered in national parks and private game reserves of varying landscapes from deserts, mountains to coastlines, there is plenty of room for creatures big and small to survive in their most natural and protected habitat. And its our pleasure and blessing to be able to witness them up close whether from the safety of a game vehicle or on foot in the company of experienced and highly qualified rangers. Accommodation options range from basic self-catering units right the way through to 5-star ultra-luxurious private lodges and plenty in-between. A brief description of the major game reserves and national parks to be found in our country follows below: RESERVES / PARKS Kruger National Park Reputed to be larger than Israel, the Kruger is South Africas most famous and largest game park. Boasting nearly 2 million hectares of diverse terrain and landscapes hosting a vast number of flora and fauna species. Established in 1898 to protect South African wildlife, the park is the flagship of other parks in the country. About 4-5 hours drive from Johannesburg, the park is an easy self-drive destination offering numerous restcamps, as well as private lodges operating within their own concessions. Being a National Park, Kruger is open to the public and driving is strictly limited to the marked roads. No off-road driving permitted unless by a licensed game vehicle within a private concession.
