What will you experience on this Big Five Safari?
Cape Town | South Africa
Your journey begins in Cape Town, the beautiful city where mountains meet the sea. This vibrant international destination has earned its reputation as a must-visit stop in South Africa. Relax on one of its many beaches, or take a scenic day trip around the Cape Peninsula to visit the famous African penguins at Boulders Beach.
For active adventurers, hike the iconic Table Mountain for sweeping views of the city, or explore Cape Point on foot in search of ostrich, eland, bontebok, and historic shipwrecks. You can even sea kayak with resident pods of Heaviside’s dolphins off the Sea Point promenade.
Afterward, unwind with a glass of local wine at South Africa’s oldest winery, soaking in the landscapes that make Cape Town so unforgettable.
Sabi Sand Nature Reserve | South Africa
The prestigious Sabi Sand Nature Reserve shares an unfenced border with South Africa’s iconic Kruger National Park, allowing wildlife to move freely between the two.
As one of the continent’s most celebrated safari regions, Sabi Sand is renowned for its exceptional leopard sightings and predator interactions worthy of a National Geographic documentary, and you’ll have front-row seats.
Home to the Big Five, an incredible diversity of wildlife, and more than 300 bird species, this is where your Swarovski Optik binoculars truly shine. Get closer, observe every detail, and immerse yourself in one of South Africa’s most remarkable wilderness areas.
Ngala Private Game Reserve | Kruger National Park
Spend four unforgettable days exploring Ngala Private Game Reserve, the first private reserve to be incorporated into Kruger National Park. Here, you’ll enjoy exclusive access to more than 36,000 acres of rich, unspoiled wilderness.
With your private guide and tracker, set out in search of the mystical white lions of the Birmingham Pride, while watching breeding herds of elephants and buffalo move through this historic landscape. Expect to encounter large prides of lion, elusive leopards, spotted hyena, and possibly even wild dogs during your stay.
With no crowds, ethical off-roading, and strict limits on vehicles at sightings, Ngala offers one of the most intimate and responsible safari experiences in South Africa.
Tswalu Kalahari | Malaria-Free
Set within a breathtaking 271,185-acre arid landscape, Tswalu Kalahari is South Africa’s largest privately owned game reserve.
With guaranteed access to a private vehicle, guide, and tracker, you’ll have the freedom to explore this vast and exquisite wilderness entirely at your own pace.
