Tips
- How much does it cost to go on a safari in South Africa? South African safaris range anywhere from US $200 to $12K. Your accommodation type, duration of tour, activities involved and time of travel can make all the difference! Our African safari cost article helps you understand pricing and how to save money on your African safari.
- What is the best safari in South Africa? Maybe Kruger National Park jumps to mind, but the elephants in Addo and the whales of Hermanus also offer incredible wildlife experiences. We help you out by listing the most popular safaris which are rated by past travellers.
- What is the best time to visit South Africa for safari? The dry season of Kruger National Park between May to September is the best for wildlife sightings. However, if you want to combine your safari with a Garden Route tour then September to February is a good option too. Read more on when to visit South Africa.
- Is it safe to travel to South Africa? Like most places, South Africa is a safe country if you take precautions and listen to your tour guide. It also pays to do some research to be prepared for your trip - especially if you're travelling alone to Africa!
- What clothes to take to safari in South Africa? If you want to dress head-to-toe in khaki, be my guest but despite popular belief it’s not essential for a safari. Neutral colours and breathable clothing are ideal for those game drives. Read more on safari clothes and essentials in our African safari packing list.
- Is South Africa or Tanzania safari better? Both are home to the incredible Big Five animals but offer completely different experiences! South Africa has lush winelands and strikingly beautiful mountains to hike and Tanzania has ancient tribes and quintessential desert plains.
