South Africa Tour / Safari Itineraries & Package Deals

Based in St Lucia South Africa, we plan and guide safari holidays and tour itineraries across South Africa, Southern Africa and selected East Africa routes. Below are example day-by-day safari itineraries (4 to 14 days) and a quick way to request a tailor made tour that fits your dates, budget and interests.

If you want a classic Big 5 focus, we often combine the Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park with nearby highlights in the iSimangaliso Wetland Park region. If you prefer variety, we can layer in coastal experiences like dolphin activities, turtle tours (seasonal), snorkeling and cultural stops. Many of the photos used on these pages were taken while on safari and during real itineraries.

What Guests Can Expect

These itineraries are built around real travel flow: early starts for wildlife activity, unhurried scenic drives, and enough time in each area to enjoy the place rather than rushing through it. Depending on route, you can combine classic safari days with coastal and wetland experiences around St Lucia.
