Is This Trip for Me?

Embark on a remarkable 6-night journey through two of South Africa’s most prestigious private game reserves, Mala Mala and Samara. This exclusive safari experience combines the exceptional game viewing of both renowned reserves, set within vast, privately owned conservation areas dedicated to preserving Africa’s wildlife.

Spend three nights at Mala Mala, a world-class reserve renowned for its abundant wildlife and extraordinary Big Five sightings. Then, continue to Samara, where you’ll immerse yourself in the heart of the Great Karoo, exploring an expansive landscape known for its unique biodiversity and efforts in conservation.

With privileged access to these private reserves, you’ll enjoy intimate and uncrowded encounters with the wildlife, guided by expert rangers who will bring the bush to life. This is more than a safari—it’s an opportunity to experience Africa’s wilderness in its purest form, with a focus on conservation and exclusivity that ensures an unforgettable adventure.
