FAQ: Safaris in South Africa

Is South Africa a good choice for families with young children?
Yes, South Africa is arguably the best safari destination for families. It offers several world-class, malaria-free reserves like Madikwe and the Eastern Cape, eliminating the need for preventative medication. Many luxury lodges feature specialized children’s programs and family suites designed specifically for multi-generational travel.
National parks are public and restricted to marked roads with higher vehicle volumes. Private reserves, such as the Sabi Sands, offer a much more exclusive experience. They permit off-road tracking for up-close sightings, limit the number of vehicles at a sighting to three, and allow for night game drives and guided bush walks.
To maximize your time and avoid long road transfers, we utilize a network of private bush flights and scheduled domestic airlines. We manage every aspect of the logistics, ensuring you move seamlessly from a remote airstrip in the bush to a private transfer at your coastal hotel.
South Africa provides some of the most consistent Big Five sightings on the continent. The private reserves bordering the Kruger are particularly famous for their high density of lions, leopards, and elephants. Many of our guests encounter all five species within the first two days of their safari.
The luxury tourism infrastructure in South Africa is exceptionally well-managed and safe. We exclusively use private transfers, secure luxury lodges, and established boutique hotels that prioritize guest security. Our professional guides and drivers ensure you are supported and comfortable throughout your entire journey.
While you can visit the Winelands for a day, we highly recommend staying at least two nights in Franschhoek or Stellenbosch. This allows you to fully immerse yourself in the culinary culture and enjoy the mountain scenery without the time pressure of a return transfer to the city.
For a balanced “Bush and Beach” itinerary, we recommend 10 to 14 days. This allows for four nights on safari, four nights in Cape Town, and a few days exploring the Winelands or the Garden Route. The distances are significant, so a slower pace ensures a more relaxed and luxurious experience.
Because you will be transitioning between the bush and the city, you need a versatile wardrobe. Pack neutral-colored layers for the safari, including a warm jacket for cold morning drives. For Cape Town and the Winelands, the dress code is “smart-casual,” and you will want comfortable walking shoes for exploring the mountain trails.
