Experience the beautiful moments with incredible wildlife, watch elephants wander, lions call across the plains, giraffes graze, and antelope dart through the grass.

Last minute booking
We are living abroad in Australia, heading on a last minute trip to South Africa. We reached out to Safari.com and were allocated Nerine Du Plessis as our consultant. Nerine was so great in helping us to organise this trip with only 5 weeks until departure/arrival in South Africa. Nerine has been incredibly prompt in her responses, articulate in the requirements and easy to communicate with. So far, we can't fault our experience.
