SAFARI LODGES No trip to South Africa would be complete without experiencing its abundant, diverse and internationally renowned game viewing. The country is one of only 17 in the world that is considered to be mega-diverse, and as a result the spectacular wildlife it offers makes it the absolute perfect destination for a safari. Nothing compares with the adventure of tracking lions, elephants and giraffes in an open safari vehicle, savoring breakfast at sunrise or wine at sunset in the midst of the vast African wilderness, pampering yourself with a relaxing spa treatment, then dining on world-class cuisine under the stars. The wilds of South Africa are a sight to behold, with the "Big Five" lion, leopard, rhinoceros, buffalo and elephant - roaming free, and countless species of flora and fauna thriving like nowhere else. While on safari you'll enjoy unsurpassed game viewing in an exclusive environment - led by highly trained game rangers and qualified trackers in safe off-road vehicles from which you'll view the extraordinary creatures and landscape up close. A safari in the Sabi Sands, Kruger National Park or Waterberg areas is the complete opposite of "roughing it." Instead, each of the lodges offer luxury accommodations, and serve up delectable cuisines, acclaimed South African wines and modern hospitality in quaint and distinct surroundings. Kruger National Park is the most famous Safari region, with a host of elegant lodges and abundance of wildlife. But don't rule out a trip to the malaria-free Waterberg; this UNESCO Biosphere Reserve area is renowned for its ancient mountains, spectacular views, rolling savannahs and pristine bush environment. No matter where or how you experience your safari adventure, prepare to be awed! 8 Safari Lodges
