SOUTH AFRICA - BIG FIVE LUXURY SAFARI
9 Days, 8 Nights - Special 2026 Big Cat Focus

Same as all our South Africa safaris, we start off with a meet and greet in Johannesburg and depending on your arrival, either assist in transfer to your domestic charter or take you to our local BnB for a great meal, introduction to the Boma fire and good night's rest.

We then get you own your way to the local airport or airstrip, where you are met again with your luggage and transfer to the first deluxe camp. In this 8 day trip, we also spend time at two different locations, to give photographers a chance at different lion prides, any increasing our chances for Rhino, Wild Dog and Cheetah, which can be hard to track down. Each morning and evening there is a game drive and in between enjoy animals at camp at the water holes, amazing meals and attentive service.

We utilize both a first class game lodge and deluxe tented safari camp in this itinerary, giving guests a special look at not just different areas, but also styles of accommodations and variety of chef-prepared meals and exceptional personalized service. This is our Signature Africa Itinerary!
