While all of South Africa's geographically diverse regions offer ample opportunities for adventure travel, travel to South Africa -- as in much of sub-Saharan Africa -- focuses on the wildlife safari. In addition to possessing some of the world's most renowned game reserves, the Kruger National Park, Pilanesberg National Park, Hluhluwe-Umfolozi, the South Africa contains many smaller regional parks and reserves that are all perfect safari destinations!

For close up encounters with Africa's wildlife, nothing beats a traditional African safari. A typical day starts with maybe a walk through the bush in the company of an armed game ranger. Later; you would normally traverse the bush in an open safari vehicle to get up close to the many wild animals, including the Big 5.

For those that enjoy getting wet, beach and water safaris offer close up encounters with marine environments. South Africa's extensive coastline is a whale watching, kayaking, SCUBA diving and snorkelling paradise. The many fast flowing rivers offer the ultimate white-water rafting safari.

With a long history of warfare, South Africa has numerous historical and battlefield safari options. Many of the battlefields are very well preserved which makes reliving battles of the past so real. Most of the battlefield tours and safaris concentrate on the many Zulu Battlefields and Anglo Boer War Battlefields dotted around South Africa -- especially in the KwaZulu Natal province.

A popular option for many South African Safari itineraries is exploring the majestic uKhahlamba-Drakensberg mountains by a leisurely 4x4 tour up the Sani Pass which takes one into mountain kingdom of Lesotho, or by hiking, walking or horseback. For those looking for a less active safari experience, you can relax at your luxury lodge and admire the awesome scenery.

Top South African Safari destinations include the Kruger National Park, Pilanesberg National Park, Hluhluwe-Umfolozi Game Reserve, St Lucia Wetlands Park and neigbouring private reserves.
