A visit to Sabi Sands offers an unparalleled experience from the very start.

02.

Phinda Private Game Reserve

Then set off the Phinda private game reserve — a remarkable setting with a staggering selection of habitats to explore. From forests and mountain ranges to grasslands and a dry sand forest, Phinda’s wealth of ecosystems makes it an attractive home for over 400 species of birds, the Big 5, and even more elusive animals, including black rhinos and cheetahs. While you’re there, stay in one of the most stunning luxury safari lodges to be found, where the game-viewing continues even from indoors.

03.

Madikwe Game Reserve

The grandeur of South Africa is as perfect for solo travelers and couples as it is for family-friendly retreats. Invite the entire family to malaria-free, family-friendly, luxury safaris on the aptly-named Madikwe Game Reserve (Madikwe means “Africa in its majesty”). You’ll create meaningful, cherished memories for travel companions of any age, with access to thrilling safaris, stunning luxury safari lodge accommodations perched perfectly for the finest views, top-tier dining, and entertainment for the children.

04.

Tswalu Kalahari

Or prepare for Tswalu Kalahari to take your breath away. Invite even more family and friends at this 24-guest, luxury village featuring nine secluded homes featuring three suites, a private deck, and a fireplace. When you’re not on a mobile or horseback safari in the Kalahari’s ultra-private wilderness, congregate at the main house to exchange stories about the rare, desert-adapted wildlife you spotted and other fun details about your personal adventures — or observe the savannah from your infinity pool swim.

05.

Winelands and Cape Town

Before your South African adventures come to an end, extend the experience with a safari-to-city extension. Cape Town beckons with gorgeous accommodations with breathtaking views, Michelin-starred fine dining, and private dining opportunities — from al fresco, personalized picnics to Chef’s Table experiences featuring South African cuisine, fine local wine, and the company of your treasured travel companions.

“My travel with the Steenhuisens to South Africa was nothing short of life changing. Not only was South Africa magnificently beautiful in a way I just could not have appreciated before I had actually experienced it, but the authentic, ‘real South Africa’ experience that only a native South African who genuinely loves their country, made all the difference. I’d go back in a heartbeat.”

Elaine Stead

“We had a wonderful experience with SAFARI FRANK. We decided quite short term to go for a safari in the Kruger Area and had the best support from the team to plan out our trip. The accommodation and the locations were chosen perfectly to what we wanted and hoped for. We will definitely recommend them to our friends and families. Thank you again!”

“SAFARI FRANK made our trip seamless. We had beautiful accommodations, transfers were easy and the local guides were phenomenal. We visited South Africa (Cape Town and safari) and Namibia. In both countries we left with incredible memories and a great deal more knowledge about both places (despite having been to South Africa before). Highly recommend working with them if you are traveling to Africa.”
