If one were to holiday in South Africa, a trip to a local National Park would be high on the list of “Must Sees”. The experience is like no other, sleeping in the bush, resting under the stars and enjoying game drives with an experienced ranger who can speak at length on the local flora and fauna.
With South Africa’s eight biomes, the range of scenery is extensive and one is able to choose a safari depending on the nature they want to see: From witnessing the Big 5 towards the north, to hiding in deep forests in the south, the options are endless and accommodate, literally, every interest. We chose five gateways to South African National Parks for you to choose from:
Offering a selection of rondavels, longdavels and cottages with either one double and two single beds or two single and one stack bed, there is also a camping site in the beautiful shaded grounds, ablutions and barbecue facilities.
