South Africa is a country that you should visit at least once in your life. With its sun-kissed beaches, majestic mountain peaks, and golden savannas; this biodiverse country is everything you expect and so much more.
Your journey begins in the “mother city” of Cape Town where you explore the vibrant streets, savor world-class cuisine and wines, and interact with the friendly locals. Your home for the next few days is the award-winning One & Only Cape Town, where you will experience extraordinary facilities, opulent accommodation, and warm hospitality.
After exploring the gorgeous coastline of Cape Town and the picturesque wine country, you head off on a true African safari adventure, staying in two famous private reserves located in the greater Kruger National Park:- Sabi Sands and Timbavati.

Pascal John was awesome!
Pascal John was very helpful with planning our trip. We had specific dates and time frames that we had to make sure corresponded correctly with the rest of our South Africa trip and Pascal John could not have made it any easier. He was professional and always responded over text in a timely manner. Definitely would recommend!

This Travel Firm is Ready for You!
We have completed the preliminary reservations with this amazing travel firm. Thank God they exist! We would never have been able to figure out how to put the pieces of our trip to AFRICA together without them. They are patient, caring, detailed, and responsive to communications…something you expect, but do not always receive when service is involved. Connect with them via email if you are even thinking about going to Africa. Cheers!

First time to Cape Town
We are a group of ten friends traveling together to Cape Town for the first time. Safari.com was our top choice for travel agents. Leché and Tracy were incredibly helpful and prompt with our questions and bookings. The trip to Sanbona Wildlife Reserve was fantastic, and everything went off without a hitch. We highly recommend Safari.com for your safari plans!
