Beach holidays offer moments of relaxation, rail journeys reward tourists with a nostalgic trip through the countryside, and city breaks give a brief, meaningful escape, but no holiday is quite like a safari.
Safaris will delight anyone from curious first-timers to seasoned travellers craving a unique holiday to adventurous families excited to get further afield. South Africa’s Kruger National Park offers a scintillating range of diverse ecosystems including vast grassland, wide rivers, gorges, mountains, and dense forests - all of which make for a once-in-a-lifetime safari experience.
This game reserve, one of Africa’s largest, offers up some of the wildest experiences on the continent. A Kruger Safari presents the magical chance to see one of the Big Five – elephants, rhinoceros, leopards, lions and buffalos – in the rugged African wild from the seat of an open-air vehicle.
You can even rest your head at Camp Bethel, a charming family-run camp decked out with luxury tents on elevated wooden platforms, entirely surrounded by the unspoilt African bush. The most special - and surreal - part is witnessing zebra, kudu, nyala and warthog casually make their way through the camp. Of course, you can’t pass up the opportunity to savour a traditional South African braai (barbecue) under a starry night sky.
