AFRICAN SAFARI

admin — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 16:19:27 +0000

We are both privileged and delighted to be able to offer our guests an outstanding selection of Private Game Reserves from which to choose once you have decided to include a Safari in your itinerary.The South Africa Travel Company has 10 years experience in arranging Safari trips, we are well informed as to which Reserves are better suited to families and we are inclined to suggest that younger children accompany their parents in Malaria Free reserves.We arrange Safari’s in the Malaria Free Eastern Cape Private Game reserves as well as The Kruger National Park and The Victoria Falls.

Safaris within the borders of Botswana, Namibia and Tanzania can also be easily arranged using South Africa as a spring board to these countries.Our Safari’s are fully inclusive of all meals, accommodation, beverages (Local alcoholic and non-alcoholic) game drives and children’s programs.The Kruger National Park, positioned in the North Eastern corner of South Africa, is probably the most famous and certainly the largest within the boarders of South Africa.Our list of Kruger National Park Private Concession Reserves is extensive and includes well known reserves such as Jock Safari Lodge, Sir Richard Branson’s Ulusaba Reserve, Londolozi, Thornybush, Timbavati, Sabi Sands and many more. Due to the Kruger Park’s Position, it requires charter flights from Johannesburg and we arrange these and all land transfers into these reserves as well as domestic flights from Cape Town where applicable.This region is within the Malaria Belt of Southern Africa and anyone visiting a Game reserve within the area, is advised to take prophylactics (Please take advise from your doctor as to the options).For those visitors to South Africa who intend on basing their holiday within the Cape Town and Garden Route areas, we offer Malaria Free reserves as follows:

The Eastern Cape Malaria Free Reserves offer our guests 4 and 5 star luxury lodges and tented camps within several Reserves. An Addo Elephant National Park, Day Safari can be included on request. Eastern Cape Reserves, such as Shamwari, offer guests the opportunity to see the Big 5 in a Malaria free environment surrounded by 5 eco-systems which support many forms of Animal, plant and bird life all within a 25 000 hectare area. This reserve is home to 7 luxury lodges, all small and intimate, and their children’s program is both informative and exciting.

GOLF ITINERARIES CAPE TOWN

GOLFING ITINERARIES

South Africa is fast becoming one of the worlds leading destinations for golf enthusiasts.We have a very proud golfing history from the early years of Bobby Locke and Gary Player to the more recent stars like Ernie Els, Retief Goosen and Trevor Immelman.The Cape Town golf courses are all within a 20 – 30 min drive from the City Center, positioned on either the Atlantic or False Bay side of the Table Mountain Range. A 30-40 min drive from Cape Town brings you to the Cape Wine Valleys of Stellenbosch, Paarl and Franchhoek.The golf courses in this area are magnificently positioned between the river valleys, Mountains and Wine Estates. .As a golfing destination it is hard to beat our sunny climate and spectacular golf course locations.When considering the cost of a round of golf, lunch and drinks at one of our top courses- you are looking at less than half of what the equivalent would be in Europe or the USA.

The Garden Route region of the Western Cape is arguably the most beautiful part of our country.The golf courses situated her are spread mostly between the coastal towns of George, Knysna and Plettenberg Bay.Playing here is a serious visual treat of Indian Ocean coastline, forested valleys and mountain backdrops.Many of our golf itineraries along The Garden Route are combined with a two or three day (or longer) Safari.This part of South Africa has some of the best “BIG FIVE” and malaria free game reserves in the country.

Whatever golfing destinations you decide on within South Africa, we can promise that you will be booking the next one here before you leave our shores.
