A holiday to an African safari is a holiday of a life time. It is the only chance an individual can grab and experience some of the most stunning sceneries and wildlife this exotic continent has to offer. With innumerable highlights to choose from, it is the country endowed with wealth of national parks, bird sanctuary, game reserves, stunning coastline and much more.

 

Once For And All An Enchanting Experience
The Safari holidays to South Africa can be really a teeth grinding and hair pulling affair, since the safari market is ridiculously saturated mainly because it is highly lucrative and there are literally so many options that it is tough to decide to know from where to begin. The best part about this entire confusion is there are all sorts of safaris out there- something suitable for every budget and every kind of person except those who don't like animals and do not prefer staying in remote (jungle) places. Whether you are an investment banker or a backpacker there are all sorts of solutions available for every holiday in South Africa. It is just the matter of knowing what is available and what the jargon means – it is important to know whether the safari you are planning to take is really suitable to you not just in terms of budget but what you are expecting over there.

Where To Go On Safari in South Africa
Decide where to go. There are no ethical, decent game reserves near Cape Town. Period, so now what? Though if you Google around you will surely come across at least 5 game reserve names surrounding Cape Town, but do not go by the word of it, rather check with someone who is experienced/expertise in guiding you. There are numerous South African tour operators who will be helpful in getting you the true knowledge. It's not that there are none surrounding the Cape Town, but ensure the kind of adventure you are looking around is the similar one or completely different, out of the box experience.

 

Want To Experience Real Safari Experience Head Towards North
South Africa's north is Johannesburg – a very beautiful location in every way you portray.  It is undoubtedly South Africa's best safaris found in Kruger National Park and Madikwe Game Reserve. These reserves are huge and spread over 4 million hectares (about the size of wales) which feel truly, authentically wild. Both of these wildlife reserves are brilliant and really exciting safaris to take holidays to. It is worth making a trip to the north if you are passionate about wildlife and want to see some of those never seen or heard about the wildlife in your life. 

 

Where To Stay in South Africa
Of course, you will need a place to stay, if camping than too you will need a decent place to throw your back pack and lie down and relish your time. Here are few hints about the lodges and rest camps that you can check out:

Private game reserves: Just imagine those glossy picture brochures, chocolates on the pillow and impeccable service- private game reserves are full of these and provides to and fro services to the travelers. The rates are high with such spoiling habits but it is worth staying in one of these. Some of them are located at Timbavati, Thornybush, Sabisands etc.

Rest camps: These are operated by the South African National Park red camps that are affordable options in the public part of Kruger, Addo Elephant and other national parks.
