South Africa is not a land through which you travel - it is a land through which you roam. Vast and untamed. With a natural glory that is some of the best preserved on the African continent. Here you will discover nineteen National Parks - like the famed Kruger National Park, our largest, which covers an area the size of New England. 

In these reserves, nature holds sway. Unspoiled. Untarnished. The land is as it has always been - and as it shall always remain. Here, you can view Africa's Big Five in a single day. Watch lion at a kill. Follow the tracks of a leopard. Find herds of buffalo grazing their way across the savannah. See white and black rhino in greater numbers than anywhere in Africa and discover the majestic elephant - still treading the same trails his ancient forebears did.

Close to nine hundred species of birds greet each South African dawn with their song. Eagles, hawks, falcons and vultures circle on daytime thermals. Orioles, rollers, bishop birds, loeries and hoopoes provide flashes of color against the muted tones of bushveld. At lakes and rivers, you may spot spoonbills, herons, cranes, storks and pelicans wading in the shallows. 

Amid this wonder-filled wilderness, some of the most luxurious and exclusive accommodation will delight you. Enjoy a decadent glass-ceiling forest chalet or a well-appointed tree house. Indulge in the pampered comforts of bush-lodge living or sleep under the stars with only the canvas wall of your tent separating you from the wild. 

An intricate network of good roads and airstrips ensures that even some of the most remote areas in our country are accessible. Forge a new bond with nature. And see all manner of wonderful creatures: wildebeest, kudu, giraffe, hyena, as well as wild dog - once almost extinct. 

And perhaps their freedom will help you find a little of your own.
