Discover a whole world in a country, where the natural beauty starts right outside the city gates. Take yourself on the most unusual illustrated bush tour of unforgettable experience. On this Safari you get to know the universal attributes of a lion; come across a herd of wild baboons, being armed with powerful canine teeth and wolf like jaws, where even the leopards onslaught is less to be feared than the wild rage of an adult baboon. Watch the spotted hyena, which is a cowardly animal. See the powerful buffaloes, which are more than a match for the lions. Hear the loud blowing noise of the black rhinoceros and freeze when it looks at you from a short distance.

Best time to travel to South Africa for safari tours is August and September, an ideal time, because winter means there was reduced foliage, allowing for easier viewing, and avoiding the heat in the prevalent hot summer.

Escorted by the most experienced black game ranger and his team; driving through the Kalahari Desert, with its huge salt pans. From there our journey takes us to the Eastern Cape towards KwaZulu-Natal, through the tropical savannahs of Zululand. Passing the rainforest and heading up to the Transvaal, north to the Krüger National Park, where the big cats of prey are in there elements.

To assume that every wild beast or bird is a sacred creature, peacefully dwelling in an earthly paradise, is a mistake. They have their wisdom and their folly, their joys and their sorrows, their trials and tribulations. Enjoy the wilderness and its inhabitants on an unusual African bush trip, where the boundary line between reality and dreamland is very easy to cross.
