South
Africa hosts a huge collection of safari regions and wildlife
reserves, encompassing every possible landscape from deserts
to forests, mountain chains and coastal reserves to a
plethora of magnificent game parks - both public and private
- teeming with wildlife species, birds and unique habitats.
Described as "a World in One Country" - South
Africa is a land rich in history, culture and a great
diversity of scenic splendor - from the pulsating rhythms
of the bushveld, through deserts and along pristine beaches
and cosmopolitan cities.
The
renowned safari regions of South Africa which are home
to some of the best game viewing in Africa, include the
Kruger National Park Park and surrounding private reserves
of Sabi Sand, Timbavati, and Makalali; Zululand's parks
of Hluhluwe-Umfolozi and the wetlands of St Lucia, as
well as the malaria free safari regions of Madikwe and
Addo Elephant Park and the private Shamwari reserve. However,
the greatest area for a Big Five experience is undoubtedly
the private reserves surrounding Kruger Park.
A
great way to end a safari is to spend some time along
the South African coast - either in the wilds of Maputaland,
the quiet serenity of the Garden Route around Knysna and
Plettenberg Bay, or in Cape Town, with its beautiful beaches
and world-class hotels. The Whale Coast around Hermanus
provides some of the finest land based whale viewing in
the world.
For
true indulgence after a safari, consider boarding the
Blue Train or Rovos Rail in Johannesburg for a two day
journey down to Cape Town, with its magnificent Table
Mountain, Cape Point Nature Reserve and the bustling Waterfront.
Now firmly recognized as one of world's most beautiful
cities, Cape Town is the ideal place to end a South African
safari.
