Wildlife in South Africa​​

South Africa safari

Singita, Game drive
Imagine experiencing something most people only dream of doing. A South African safari is on every traveller’s bucket list and is truly a once in a lifetime experience allowing you to reconnect with nature. So, buckle up and take on an off-road adventure, deep in the bush where you will experience an abundance of amazing animals that will leave you speechless.

Although you can see the animals all year round, the best time to visit Safari is from May to October

Just picture driving through the landscapes of South Africa, seeing the vast range of different antelope galloping through the wide open spaces of the game reserve; a cheeky jackal stealing a piece of the lion’s kill; herds of elephant walking only meters from your land rover; lions lazily snoozing in the shade and if you’re lucky you may spot a leopard relaxing in a tree or a rhino amongst the bushes. Look to the sky and see if you can spot the world’s fastest bird of prey, the peregrine falcon or the fastest flightless bird on the planet, the ostrich. Spot the heads of giraffes peeking through the trees, hippos and crocodiles wading through the rivers and maybe a cheetah through the long grass of the veld.
On your evening game drives, the bush comes to life with the animals of the night. Imagine driving at dusk and hearing the hyenas laughing, lions roaring and the monkeys squealing and if you are seriously lucky, you may even see the incredibly rare aardvark or aardwolf.

When planning for your safari adventure, the weather is a factor to be considered. Although you can see the animals all year round, the best time to visit South Africa for safari is from May to October. The dry winter months, when the bushes have died back and animals gather around the watering holes, bring perfect viewing conditions to spot the rarer animals like the rhinos, leopards and cheetahs.

South Africa can also offer a very intimate safari experience. There are strict rules about how many vehicles can view animals at a time and you can expect to venture into the bush in open roof 4×4 Land Rovers. This gives you the perfect opportunity to experience the animals first-hand, to take those Instagram worthy pictures and to return home with some absolutely stunning memories.
