South Africa
A huge variety of wildlife, landscapes, cultures, and climates are crammed into Africa’s southern tip. From the rolling grasslands of the highveld to the tree-dotted plains of the bushveld, it is home to almost 10 percent of the world’s known bird, fish, and plant species and about 6 percent of its mammal and reptile species.
Whether you want the classic big game safari or a specialist photography tour to encounter rare mammals, South Africa has something for everyone.
Each of our South Africa wildlife tours has been designed to show you the very best that the country has to offer. Bespoke itineraries are also available on request.
