SOUTH AFRICA - WHISTLE-STOP NORTHERN SAFARI
9 Days, 8 Nights

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 trip, we spend time at three different unique locations, to give photographers a different chance at dozens of plains game species, possibilities for the Big Five and the Super 10 - plus you just never know what you will see!!

From ground blinds at waterholes, to deluxe tented safaris to searching for some of the biggest Tuskers in all of Africa - this whistle-stop tour is sure to provide photo opportunities at every turn. Add in dexluxe lodging, amazing service and chef-prepared meals to top it all off.
