Introduction

1 Sep 2026 - 10 Sep 2026

Our ten day safari is our most popular safari providing a balance between big five game viewing and a chance to gain a better understanding of wildlife conservation.

We start at our safari base, the exclusive Rukiya Safari Camp, which is a key location for our leopard research program. You will also visit two other game reserves to ensure you can enjoy a variety of different lodge styles and wildlife habitats to give you a balanced safari experience.

Of-course there will also be time for some R&R to sit back, relax and enjoy the African bush.

You can take the basic safari as a stand-alone safari, or perhaps maximise your opportunities while in Africa and add a few days in Victoria Falls, whale watching and penguins on the coast in Hermanus, stay in Cape Town itself or perhaps just a relaxing beach stay on the coast of Southern Africa.

As with all our safaris, we’ve developed and honed this itinerary over many years in keeping with our company ethos and moreover it has been ‘road tested’ by hundreds of guests and as a result has received many many five star reviews.
