South Africa Safaris

South Africa safari holidays offer the chance to experience some of the world’s most extraordinary wildlife up close.

Whether you’re a seasoned safari-goes or planning your very first adventure, no trip to South Africa is complete without a Big 5 safari. From vast national parks to exclusive private reserves, the country offers remarkable wildlife diversity and safari experiences to suit every budget and travel style.

Looking for a reserve that’s easy to reach by car? Try Madikwe Game Reserve or one of the many lodges in the Eastern Cape, which are ideal for families thanks to their malaria-free locations and convenient access. For a safari that combines wildlife with culture and history, consider Sanbona Wildlife Reserve or one of the lush reserves in KwaZulu-Natal. And for truly world-class guiding and unforgettable close encounters with wildlife, few places compare to the iconic Kruger National Park and the Greater Kruger area.

Trailfinders offers a wide range of South Africa safari holidays and our expert travel consultants are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to explore South Africa on a fly drive holiday, aboard the iconic luxury Rovos Rail, a sociable guided group tour, or are looking for advice on how to combine South Africa with a beach destination – they are the perfect people to ask.
