Some of our favourite lodges in South Africa

South Africa’s safari lodges are strongest in the Greater Kruger private reserves, especially Sabi Sands, where high-end comfort, leopard viewing, and smooth logistics pair well with Cape Town or Winelands extensions.

This is a small selection of our favourite lodges in this location. If you can't see a property you're interested in right now, please get in touch and one of our stylists can match you to the perfect lodge in our database of over 500 lodges across Africa.

What we love about safari in South Africa

Why does South Africa belong on your safari shortlist? South Africa is a major safari destination with direct overnight flights from London, no visa requirements for nationals from UK, US, Australia and Canada, and genuine malaria-free Big Five options. Six safari regions range from the leopard-rich private conservancies of the Sabi Sands to the Kalahari’s pangolin territory at Tswalu. From mornings spent tracking leopard through the Sand River’s riverine bush and evenings watching meerkats at Tswalu, the variety within one country is incredible. For families, honeymoon couples and returning safari travellers ready to look beyond the Big Five, South Africa delivers amazing breadth.
