Our Opinion...“discover a world within a county. The scope of South Africa is endless and totally mesmerising, with extremes of beauty, sophistication and total untamed wilderness. If a big-game safari is unfamiliar territory, perhaps a malaria free reserve, a fenced lodge or a child friendly camp will ensure you feel comfortable and confident in your safari choice.”
