East, west – South Africa remains the best. I’ve traveled around the world and I have seen amazing sights, but when that steel bird touches down, I know I’m home. This is where I belong, because Africa’s heartbeat is in my soul. It’s in the blue oceans, golden beaches, majestic mountains and lush valleys. It’s in the dusty savannas and the bushveld that South Africa’s magnificent wildlife calls home. Whether you’re South African or just visiting our magical country for the first time, you should absolutely put a safari experience on your bucket list.
What’s a South African Safari?
Contrary to popular belief, you’re not going to come face-to-face with a lion in the middle of a city’s streets. You actually have to go on safari to experience Africa’s full splendour. Here’s what you should know about a South African safari:
- You don’t have to travel into the jungle for days. In fact, in most cases you can access game farms within 2-3 hours’ drive.
- You don’t have to sleep in tents, because South Africa’s game lodges offer luxurious accommodation in houses, chalets, and huts with modern amenities (some even have wifi!). Come to think of it, some even offer permanent tented accommodations.
- It’s not like the movies that portray Africa as a jungle sheltered by green leafy trees. Bring along a hat and sunscreen, because it gets hot in summer.
