Game Reserves

South Africa is world famous for its wildlife, and there is no better place to experience it close up than in a Game Reserve. They are the crème de la crème, offering a choice of accommodation, personal attention and the knowledge of qualified, experienced rangers and trackers. There is also the high possibility to see Africa’s ‘Big Five’, consisting of lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino. All Game Reserves can be built into a Self-Drive Package with your choice of accommodation. For prices, please call our Tailor- Made specialists on 01 648 0800.

A typical day on safari

The day starts early with tea and coffee before setting off on the first morning game drive, returning at about 9am for breakfast. The remainder of the morning is at leisure. After lunch, take an afternoon game drive and when the day turns into night, powerful spotlights are used to track the nocturnal wildlife. Afterwards, return to your chosen lodge for dinner which is often taken communally in the boma (weather permitting) or restaurant. Optional activities such as walking safaris are usually available also.

What to take

Take light, casual clothing, avoiding white or bright colours. Light, long-sleeved tops, long trousers, high factor sun cream, a hat and sunglasses are essential to protect you from the sun which can be fierce. A jacket or sweater is needed for early morning and evening game drives, as it can be chilly. Don’t forget binoculars, a camera with a long lense and insect repellent.
