SOUTH AFRICA,  BOTSWANA  &  ZAMBIA

African Safari

 

Luxury African Vacation with Safari Game Lodge and Hotel stays.

The Safari experience, Landover’s crossing a dry river bed.

 

This is an Itinerary which we were asked to prepare for some clients, but it looks so good that we have decide to add it to our website as an indication of the kind of holidays that are possible. South Africa is such a large country that unless you have a great deal of time, you will only ever see a fraction of it.

 

The country now benefits from many Game Reserves, the locals have been taught the value of what they hold in trust for the rest of us – a thoroughly unique ecosystem. They are being taught how to value this and that it can pay for itself through Tourism. The days of the poachers and hunters are nearly over. A few last open spaces are still plagued by this trade, but most areas are now resolved to protecting the reserves from overexploitation. Each visitor has to pay a fee for the upkeep of the Reserves, this being included in the prices quoted,
