Wildlife and Safari

The safari is almost synonymous with Africa. From the penguins of the Cape and the marine turtles that nest on Africa’s east coast, to the iconic ‘Big Five’, savannahs full of plains game and rivers and lagoons filled with hippos and crocs, there is nothing like the thrill of watching wildlife in its (often spectacular) natural environment.
