South Africa Luxury Tour Packages

The best South Africa safari tour depends on the type of experience you’re seeking. If you’re looking for a classic Big Five safari, Kruger National Park and its surrounding private reserves offer some of the best game viewing in the world, with opportunities to see lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos, and buffalo up close. For a more exclusive experience, a private safari in South Africa at locations like Sabi Sands or Thornybush provides intimate, uncrowded adventures with luxurious lodges and personalized service.

For those combining wildlife with coastal beauty, a safari along the coastline allows you to enjoy whale watching, marine safaris, and exploring South Africa’s stunning beaches in addition to game drives.

Ultimately, the best safari is one tailored to your preferences, and we’re here to craft the perfect itinerary for you, blending wildlife, luxury, and adventure for an unforgettable experience.

The cost of a South Africa safari tour can vary depending on several factors, including the type of safari, the duration of your stay, and the time of year. On average, a luxury safari can range from $500 to $1,500 per person, per night. This typically includes accommodations at high-end lodges, guided game drives, meals, and sometimes additional experiences like bush walks or cultural tours.

While it can be more of an investment, a luxury safari lodge in South Africa offers benefits such as all-inclusive packages with personalized service, fewer guests, and premium amenities.

Packing for South Africa requires a balance of comfort and versatility, given the country’s diverse climates and activities. Here’s what we recommend for your luxury tour:

• Clothing Layers – Bring lightweight, breathable clothing for daytime activities and warmer layers for cooler mornings and evenings, especially if you’re going on a safari.
• Safari Essentials – Neutral-colored outfits (like beige or khaki) are ideal for safaris to blend with the environment. A wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and a scarf or buff will help protect you from the sun and dust.
• Comfortable Footwear – Pack comfortable walking shoes for excursions and stylish but comfortable shoes for evenings at luxury lodges or city dining.
• Swimwear – If your itinerary includes resort stays, beach visits, or accommodations with pools, swimwear is a must.
• Formal Wear – Many high-end lodges and fine-dining restaurants have a smart-casual dress code, so consider bringing a nice outfit for the evenings.
• Sunscreen and Insect Repellent – Essential for outdoor activities, especially during safaris and nature tours.
• Medications and Toiletries – Bring any prescription medications and travel-sized toiletries. While many luxury accommodations provide amenities, it’s helpful to have your essentials on hand.
• Travel Documents – Carry a valid passport, copies of your travel insurance, and other essential travel documents.
• Binoculars and a Camera – Enhance your wildlife experience with binoculars, and capture incredible moments with a good camera or smartphone.

Adapters and Chargers – South Africa uses a unique plug type, so pack an adapter and chargers for your devices.
