Popular Spots<br />

There are numerous excellent areas for safaris all<br />

around South <strong>Africa</strong> and researching thoroughly is<br />

highly re<strong>com</strong>mended. Not all 5 animals may make<br />

an appearance and that shouldn’t detract from the<br />

overall experience. However, there are some places<br />

where, with the aid of a good guide and a little bit of<br />

luck, you may be able to see all 5 of them.<br />

South <strong>Africa</strong><br />

Kruger National Park<br />

Kruger Park prides itself for all-year-round Big 5<br />

sightings. It has great infrastructure and facilities<br />

include wheelchair accessibility, WIFI spots and both<br />

walking as well as driving safaris. There are plenty<br />

of ac<strong>com</strong>modation options to suit all budgets and<br />

tastes as well as the choice of private reserves with<br />

far less crowds, making the experience even more<br />

unique.<br />

Most <strong>com</strong>panies organise 3-5 day tours, with<br />

optional extra activities. Some organise longer,<br />

7-day treks. It is not guaranteed that you will spot all<br />

5 in one day or even throughout the duration of the<br />

safari, but the breathtaking beauty of the wilderness<br />

and the numerous other animals roaming free will<br />

more than make up for it. Make sure to check the<br />

weather for the particular area you are visiting as<br />

weather can be quite unpredictable. It gets quite<br />

cold during dry season so pack appropriately!<br />
