Safari is a Swahili word meaning 'journey'.

Our whole holiday/ honeymoon was fantastic - the Safari was spectacular! We are so pleased you found it! The accommodation could not be beaten, real luxury. We were treated like VIP's, including getting a surprise champagne presentation in our room on the final night when we returned from the afternoon game drive as well as a private dining area all done out with special 'waiter' service all night. Animal wise we saw loads. We saw so much that was exciting and not the usual thing you see. The rangers are knowledgeable and clearly multi-skilled. Jules did indeed come away having experienced the best of SA, including the famous SA hospitality.
