On Safari in South Africa – Babanango & Zululand – Premier
Discover the battlefields that forged South Africa, connect with unique local cultures, and enjoy a more exclusive ‘Big Five’ safari experience in glorious KwaZulu-Natal.
Set in the malaria-free Babanango Game Reserve, home to one of Africa’s most impressive conservation projects, this Premier escape offers a safari experience in which immersion and intimacy are the focus. You’ll stay in the homestead-style Valley Lodge, an intimate property which holds a maximum of 18 guests. Here, there’ll be plenty of opportunities to spot the bushveld’s unique wildlife in a more intimate, comfortable setting and with fewer distractions. Start with a flight to Durban, where you’ll be welcomed by your safari representative, before heading north to the Babanango Game Reserve. Waste no time making the most of the wildlife-viewing opportunities, with an included afternoon game drive upon arrival, and settle in at leisure. An early start awaits the next day as you venture into the bush for animal encounters at sunrise and enjoy a second game drive and an introductory wildlife talk later in the afternoon.
The following day will see you set off on another two game drives ahead of an insightful cultural evening, with locally inspired foods, live music and dance performances that tell the story of the Zulu people. An excursion into Zululand awaits as you reach the midpoint of your safari getaway, where you’ll discover the battlefields that forged the region’s history. Isandlwana will be first, and you’ll see the site of one of the British Army’s heaviest single defeats, before taking in Rorke’s Drift and Nqutu Ridge. Next will be another two half-day game drives and in between excursions, you can take a closer look at the bushveld’s finer details on a guided wildlife walk. Delve deeper into the reserve of a further four game drives, with a few final opportunities to tick South Africa’s most elusive species off your wish-list, before settling in at the lodge’s traditional boma for a special farewell feast.

Itinerary
Your safari adventure starts with an overnight flight to Durban, a coastal city in eastern South Africa’s KwaZulu-Natal province.
Landing this morning, you’ll be greeted at the airport by a representative ahead of a scenic drive further inland to the acclaimed Babanango Game Reserve. Spanning more than 21,000 hectares across KwaZulu-Natal, the park is operated in partnership with nearby communities to support the development of the surrounding communities. It’s also the site of some of the most successful rewilding initiatives in South Africa and is now home to countless unique endemic species.
Later this afternoon, you’ll arrive at Babanango’s Valley Lodge, your four-star base for the week. Settle into your new surroundings, and if you’re feeling up to it, head out on a first game drive in the reserve, an ideal introduction to the local wildlife.
This evening, join the rest of the group for dinner under the African skies at the lodge.
It’s your first full day in KwaZulu-Natal, and you’ll waste no time in making the most of Babanango’s sprawling landscapes with an early morning game drive. In the softer morning light, see the bushveld at its most dynamic with herds of antelope and wildebeest grazing the savannah hills and the region’s predators prowling through the thicket mid-hunt.
Return to the lodge afterwards and enjoy a well-earned rest and a late breakfast. You’ll have some free time in between excursions to make use of the first-class amenities, whether that’s cooling off in the infinity pool or perhaps taking in the birdlife from the terrace area.
This afternoon, join your dedicated wildlife specialist for an introductory wildlife talk. Babanango Game Reserve, one of Africa’s most sustainable wild spaces and nearly 74% of its land is leased by a collective of Zulu communities. Such is the success of the reserve’s rewilding initiative that some of Africa’s most famous species, including lions, elephants and black and white rhinos, were reintroduced after a 150-year absence. Now equipped with expert knowledge on the animals you’ll encounter and their typical behaviours, head back out in a 4x4 game viewer for an afternoon game drive.
This evening, return to the lodge for dinner and the rest of the night at leisure.
Rise early for another open-air safari and head further into the Babanango Game Reserve, perhaps exploring the 20-kilometre-long White Umfolozi River for the chance to spot the reserve’s colourful bird life and its resident buffalo herds. These magnificent creatures, which now boast a vast thriving population, are a key part of the local ecosystems.
There’ll be more free time and another late breakfast on your return to the lodge, and if you haven’t already, it’s a great opportunity to take advantage of the lodge’s amenities. Soak up the sun, cocktail in hand, by the poolside or relax with a treatment at the lodge’s spa area. There’s a private boules court, and you can take part in a game or two of boules with your fellow guests. You'll also have the chance to reconnect with your spiritual side on the dedicated yoga deck, and those who wish to enhance their safari experience can enjoy several optional excursions, including private bush brunches, animal monitoring sessions, and bush walks.
This afternoon, you’ll set off on another Babanango game drive, which will offer even more chances to spot the region’s fascinating wildlife. It’s not just the ‘Big Five’ species that’ll impress, either, and ever-growing populations of rare oribi antelope, sprightly cheetahs, lions and rhinos can be found amongst the reserve’s landscapes. Keep an eye on the wide acacia trees as you drive, too, and you might catch a glimpse of elusive leopards resting in the branches.
Returning to the lodge later in the evening, forge a deeper connection to KwaZulu Natal with an evening of fireside stories from your dedicated guide, telling the tale of the region's colourful history and its rich cultural heritage.
Today’s excursion will take you out of Babanango and around the poignant historical sites that dot KwaZulu-Natal’s rural stretches. Once home to more than 300,000 Zulu people, united under the legendary Shaka Zulu, this vast South African region became the setting for one of the British Empire’s most brutal colonial campaigns.
Joined by an experienced local guide, your first stop today will be the battlefield of Isandlwana, which saw a 22,000-strong Zulu force overwhelm a better-equipped British outpost in the early days of the Anglo-Zulu War. Learn about innovative tactics of the Zulu impi warriors as you explore the battlefields that saw some of the fiercest fighting throughout the seven-month war.
Stop at midday for a picnic lunch against the backdrop of the Zululand countryside, before visiting the dramatic battlefield at Rorke’s Drift. It was here that 150 British soldiers held off a 3,000-strong Zulu army, and the battle was immortalised in the 1964 film, Zulu. See the original mission station the British defended and perhaps pay your respects to the memorial cairns that still mark the gravesites of the fallen soldiers to this day.
Finish the day with a stop at Nqutu Ridge for panoramic views over the area and head back to the lodge for dinner and some time to unwind.
It’s another full day on safari today, and you’ll be driven out at sunrise for more opportunities to spot the reserve’s ‘Big Five’ species. As you glide through the bushveld, your experienced driver will also introduce you to the natural wonders that have shaped the region over the centuries. Beyond the wildlife, Babanango is also a world-class geological site, with rock features dating back three billion years, and you’ll see and perhaps even touch thousands of years of the region’s history displayed in the stone.
This afternoon, you can participate in a guided bush walk for a closer look at the reserve’s diverse ecosystems. Joined by an experienced wildlife specialist, you’ll see the colourful floral species, rugged shrubs, and finer details of KwaZulu-Natal’s animal kingdom. As you follow the bush trails, keep an eye out for animal tracks, burrows and perhaps even one of the ‘Small Five’ species, with elephant shrews, rhino beetles, antlions, and leopard tortoises all known to reside on the reserve. Making less noise on foot than you would in a 4x4 game viewer, you’ll also have a better chance of watching the local wildlife up close in their natural habitat.
Later on, you’ll head back out on another sunset game drive for even more memorable animal encounters in the heart of the bush. After dinner tonight, enjoy some stargazing under the clear night skies with your wildlife specialist.
Please note: the minimum age for the bushwalk excursion is 16, and children under this age will not be able to participate.
Another day of thrilling animal encounters awaits today, and you’ll head out at sunrise for the best chance to see the local wildlife in the early-morning light. There’s plenty of colourful birdlife to see here, including one of South Africa’s most recognisable birds, the flightless southern ground hornbill. Other must-see birds include the African fish eagle, the elusive secretary bird and the country’s national bird, the blue crane.
After this morning’s game drive, continue your birdwatching from the comfort of the lodge’s sundeck or on an optional wildlife-monitoring excursion (bookable locally subject to availability). If you’d prefer, you’ll also be free to unwind at leisure at the lodge.
This afternoon, finish the day at the lodge with another open-air excursion into the bushveld, and perhaps stop for a traditional South African sundowner against Babanango’s striking natural vistas.
Make the most of a few final safari game drives in Babanango today with another early excursion into the savannah. If you haven’t managed to spot any of the ‘Big Five’ species yet, this’ll be your best chance to tick the biggest sights of your travel wish-list. Also of interest today will be the unique geology of this remarkable, protected reserve, and your guide will introduce you to the textured terrain and varied landscapes that many species call home.
After your game drive this morning, return to the lodge for a mid-morning breakfast, some time at leisure and lunch ahead of your final animal-spotting excursion later this afternoon. Taking in the area’s most popular watering holes as the sun sets over the South African bush, make a few more lifelong memories as you track the antelopes, big cats and birdlife that call Babanango home.
This evening, gather around the fire at the lodge’s traditional boma as your hosts put on a lavish feast. This’ll be the perfect opportunity to reflect on a memorable week on safari with your newfound friends and enjoy one more South African experience.
It’s your last day in South Africa, and rising early this morning, you can enjoy a final breakfast at the lodge before travelling back to Durban.
Later this evening, board your overnight return flight to the UK.
Arrive back home at the end of a memorable safari escape.

The transfer time from the airport to your hotel is approximately three hours and 30 minutes.
You are permitted to take one suitcase per person on the aircraft, which should not exceed 23kg.
If you have notified us of any special requirements, please check that they have been noted and acknowledged. This is especially important with any dietary needs you may have.
The majority of our tours involve a certain amount of walking, including a short walk from the coach stop to the town, attraction or venue you're visiting. If you are bringing a wheelchair, please let us know at the time of booking so that appropriate arrangements can be made.
In many developing countries access is sometimes not as easy as at home. Should you have walking difficulties, getting around monuments and attractions may be harder and, in some cases, impossible. Should you have any concerns whatsoever please do contact us prior to travel.
Given that certain activities are weather-dependent, in rare circumstances the order of the itinerary may need to be altered.
Should circumstances require, we reserve the right to accommodate you in alternative hotels, of a similar standard, nearby. Full details of your hotels will be sent with your Final Travel Documents.
In developing countries road networks are continually being improved and expanded, which can mean that, from time to time, roadworks and rough road surfaces can extend journey times. Some journeys are made on winding mountain roads and passes, which may also make for slow travelling - although the scenery is usually worth it!
Many roads do not have separate pavements or safety barriers, and great care should be taken when crossing or walking alongside roads.
Requirements and advice can vary over time, and from person to person, so please contact your GP about eight weeks before your trip to check whether you need any vaccinations or any other preventive measures.
A visa is not required for UK citizens travelling to South Africa, but your passport must be valid for six months beyond the date of entry to the country and have two adjacent blank pages. Special entry rules apply for children under 18 years.
Visit www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice to find out the latest Foreign And Commonwealth Office travel advice for your holiday destination, as well as information about passports and visas.
The lodge used on this tour is cashless. The final bill at the resort will only be payable with a Visa/MasterCard credit or debit card. Only a small amount of local currency is required for purchases on the road and for tips to staff members (at your discretion) at the end of your stay.
All mandatory local taxes and charges are included in the price of your holiday as per the itinerary. Prices for any optional excursions are listed separately. Any suggested free-time activities, attractions, meals or entertainment are not included (unless otherwise stated), and may be subject to local charges. Please note that tipping is optional and as such, is typically not included in the price of your holiday (unless otherwise stated).
