12-Day Cape Town & Big Five Safari

Phinda Private Game Reserve is renowned for its remarkable cheetah and rhino sightings, set within a vast 70,560-acre Big Five wilderness.

With over 30 years of conservation leadership, Phinda offers guests the chance to take part in hands-on wildlife initiatives. Join experts for rhino dehorning, elephant collaring, or pangolin tracking, and learn about the reserve’s impact on endangered species protection.

Phinda is home to six luxurious lodges, each tucked into a different ecosystem. With seven distinct habitats across the reserve, this is a deeply immersive safari experience in one of South Africa’s most ecologically rich landscapes.

Greater Kruger is a private wilderness bordering Kruger National Park, offering an exclusive Big Five safari experience. With no fences between reserves, wildlife moves freely across the landscape.

Game drives take place in a more secluded setting, with limited vehicles and ethical off-roading allowed. This creates a quiet, immersive experience for travelers seeking both adventure and privacy.

Expect close encounters with lions, elephants, buffalo, rhinos, and leopards. The Greater Kruger delivers all the wildlife of the main park, with the added benefit of fewer crowds and more flexible safari activities.

The Sabi Sand Nature Reserve shares an unfenced border with Kruger National Park, allowing wildlife to roam freely between the two.

This private reserve is famous for its exceptional leopard sightings and dramatic predator interactions. Game drives here offer front-row access to some of the most intimate wildlife encounters in Africa.

Sabi Sand is home to the Big Five, as well as diverse plains game and over 300 bird species. With a pair of Swarovski Optik binoculars, you’ll enjoy close-up views of the animals and landscapes that make this region so unforgettable.
