Wildlife Activities

South Africa is home to an abundance of wildlife and bush activities abound. You can choose to just watch some of the many beautiful species of birds that this country has been blessed with by taking bird tours in any province that you visit or go game viewing at any time in many of our major parks that operate day and night game viewing tours or enjoy an enlightening game walk.

There are just plenty of activities that you can enjoy in the South African wild.

Game Viewing on Water – the KZN Way
The KwaZulu-Natal province is well known for its pristine waters. From the top of the Drakensberg Mountains to the crashing waves of the Indian Ocean the land drops thousands of metres. The scenery is breathtaking, but the wildlife waits to be explored and enjoyed in a way different to the usual game viewing....
Game Ranger for a Day
How does one treat a snakebite, and what on earth does a kudu spoor look like? How does one scraggly tree in the bushveld differ from another and what does one need to know in order to track down the ‘Big Five’? How do you interpret the sounds of the bushveld or identify rare birds and insects?...
 
Best Birding Spots
Whether you’re a qualified ornithologist or a rookie birder, you’ll soon find out that South Africa is a veritable birder’s paradise…
 
Close Encounters on the Wild Side
For today’s travellers, who have seen and done it all, the direct interaction of walking in the wild puts a thrilling edge on the concept of a safari; for as you’ll discover, a walk in the wild is as close as it gets…...
 
Seals: Seaside Show-stealers
