To many, South Africa’s wealth is synonymous with its diamonds. But we think its greatest riches lie in another of its natural treasures: its wildlife. Kruger National Park, Sabi Sand, Mashatu, and other bushveld reserves protect an astounding diversity of big game, much of which has recovered from earlier threats to its survival. From the massive-tusked African elephant to the sleek leopard, from squat rhinos to regal lions, they are all here in healthy numbers that provide one of Africa’s greatest safari experiences. And when it’s over, one thing is certain: You’ll go home richer than when you arrived.
Location of Adventure
South Africa
Group Size Limit: Approximately 8 Travelers
A very important feature of our African safaris is the limited group size as guided tours to nature destinations in secluded South Africa are best experienced with smaller sized groups of travelers.
Included
Internal charter flights, accommodations, all meals from dinner on Day 1 to lunch on final day, bottled water, services of NHA Expedition Leaders, local guides and lodge staff, airport transfers on Day 1 and final day, some laundry, permits and entrance fees, all taxes.

Physical Requirements
Easy
Our walking activities are usually short and optional. We do, however, recommend that travelers who participate in these programs be of an adventurous spirit, as they will often enjoy the very closest of animal encounters. A number of game walks will be offered. Snorkeling, swimming and diving will be available at Rocktail Bay and require swimming ability, comfort in the water and diving experience for those interested in diving (not included in trip cost).
Important Information about This Trip
Our Secluded South Africa trip combines three spectacular wildlife camps (one in Botswana) and a unique stay on the coast at Rocktail Bay, where we will have opportunities for cultural interactions with the local Zulu people as well as the possibility of seeing migrating whales (depending on the season). There is quite a bit of travel - both by safari vehicle and by private aircraft on this itinerary, but, in the company of our professional safari Expedition Leader, it is the best way to explore this remote and diverse region. On these trips changes to the itinerary may occur in order to take advantage of conditions unique to the season and/or accommodate unexpected changes in flight schedules; therefore, itineraries may need to be rerouted or redesigned without notice.
Getting There & Getting Home
You must arrive in Johannesburg, South Africa by 6pm on Day 1 and can depart Johannesburg, South Africa after 5pm on the final day. We can best serve you if Natural Habitat Adventures’ Travel Desk makes these reservations for you as they are intimately familiar with the special requirements of these programs and can arrange the most efficient and cost-effective travel.
