Experience the Diversity of a South Africa Safari Tour
South Africa is one of the most exciting safari destinations in the world. With its blend of iconic Big Five game viewing, breath-taking scenery, world-class hospitality, and easy access from international hubs, it offers an unbeatable introduction to the African bush.
On a South Africa safari tour with us at Gamewatchers Safaris, you’ll explore some of the country’s most celebrated reserves and national parks, where lions, elephants, rhinos, leopards and buffalos roam free.Â
Our game drives, walking safaris, and cultural visits will allow you to experience this vibrant land from every angle, with our knowledgeable guides bringing the landscapes to life through stories, tracking, and expert interpretation.
What sets our tours apart is the level of detail and care that goes into each itinerary. We go beyond the typical approach, offering authentic experiences that give you time to connect with nature and enjoy the rhythm of life in the wild.
Combine South Africa with Botswana’s Untouched Beauty
To make your journey even more extraordinary, many of our guests choose to extend their South Africa safari tour into neighbouring Botswana, a country known for its pristine wilderness, diverse habitats, and exceptional wildlife density.
Our Botswana Desert and Delta Safari offers a unique opportunity to experience both the dramatic landscapes of the Kalahari Desert and the lush, watery channels of the Okavango Delta. Witness meerkats and black-maned lions in the desert, then glide past crocodiles and elephants in a traditional mokoro canoe. This itinerary offers an unparalleled contrast of terrain and wildlife, making it a standout addition to any Southern African adventure.
Alternatively, for families, our Botswana Family Safari is ideal. Designed with flexibility, safety, and comfort in mind, it offers educational fun for children and moments of wonder for all ages. Enjoy private game drives, family-sized accommodation, and activities that engage both adults and younger explorers, all in the heart of Botswana’s thriving ecosystems.
