Luxury safari lodges are spread out across most of South Africa’s most loved national and private game reserves. Along with providing comfortable accommodation in a serene setting, and all of the luxury amenities and facilities you can imagine, such lodges will generally also offer guests a real African safari.

There is no place on earth quite like Africa. Those gorgeous sunsets seem to add new colours to the sky while the quiet early mornings out in the bush can leave you feeling like the only person in the world.

Africa is the ultimate holiday destination and part of the appeal is that every adventure here will give you the opportunity to see wildlife living in a protected natural habitat.

Booking a stay at a luxury safari lodge and going on a safari during your time in Africa is one experience you will fondly remember. To make your decision making a little bit easier, we’re answering a few questions about safaris.

What are the best game reserves in South Africa?

South Africa is a fantastic safari destination because of its commitment to nature conservation as well as the fact that it is a more urban country when compared to other African nations. South Africa has both private and public game reserves and some destinations offer sightings that others simply don’t. Those game reserves in the Greater Kruger National Park area (including Balule) are home to most animals you’ll see in the Kruger, while places such as the Pilanesberg in the North West Province have a different catalogue of wildlife. In no particular order, these are 5 reserves considered the best:

  • Shamwari Game Reserve
  • Pilanesberg National Park
  • Lion Sands Game Reserve
  • The Kruger National Park
  • Grootbos Private Game Reserve

Each reserve has a list of luxury lodges for you to consider so make sure that while you plan choose the reserve with the lodge that will cater to your needs.

Are African safaris safe?

An interesting fact is that although Africa has earned a reputation for being quite a dangerous place to visit, most tourist deaths are caused by car accidents rather than crime. Safaris, when provided by reputable safari companies or luxury lodges, are completely safe even though they are carried out in the open safari vehicles. Guests will receive a little pep talk before the safari so they will know exactly what they should and shouldn’t do while out on safari.
