Is a Safari your wish?
The Big Five will likely be at the top of your list. Big Five refers to buffalo, elephant, lion, leopard and
rhino and the term comes from the animals considered most dangerous to hunt. To see a leopard dozing
in the bough of a tree, spotting a black rhino half-hidden in thick shrubs, finding a pride of lions in the
shade after a kill, or watching a large herd of elephants or Cape buffalo move soundlessly across the
road - these are all priceless moments. With award-winning safari lodges in Mpumalanga, Limpopo and
the Eastern Cape, the bush equals bliss. Luxury, impeccable service and cuisine, soothing spa’s and
superlative wildlife encounters add up to safari adventures that will exceed your wildest expectations.
