Exploring Cape Town

Safaris

Any holiday to Cape Town would not be complete without including a few nights safari.  Depending on how much time you have, it is possible to do a day trip to one of the nearby big five game reserves, or you can take out 2-3 nights and enjoy a traditional safari experience.  Access from Cape Town cannot be easier with daily direct flights to the prime game locations like Kruger, Eastern Cape and even the Madikwe region.  The Durban safari area also offers a great selection of quality game reserves in the Hluhluwe region with easy access. We have included below a selection of our favourite safari lodges, however there are so many that it is impossible to include them all, so if the one you are looking for is not listed, please email /  phone +44 (0)20 7112 0019 for more information for your safari adventure.
