Big Five safari game drives
Sunrise and sunset drives in open vehicles with expert rangers and trackers.
The rhythm of safari is simple and addictive: coffee before dawn, out into the cool bush as the light comes up, back for breakfast, a siesta through the heat, then out again until sundowners and a spotlit drive home.
See the tours
In private reserves, ranger-and-tracker teams read the ground for fresh signs and can follow animals off-road, so sightings feel personal rather than crowded. We choose lodges for the quality of their guiding as much as their rooms.
Typically includes
- Expert ranger and tracker
- Sundowner or coffee stop in the bush
- Open 4x4 safari vehicle
Good to know
- Many private lodges set a minimum age for drives (often 6+)
- Bring a warm layer: open vehicles are chilly at dawn
