How about a trip to South African Safari
A Brief Summary
South Africa really is blessed with a glut of both fauna and flora, but it’s the former which people most often come to see, and when they do, the biggest and most famous place to see the majestic creatures that roam here are the parks readily accessible from Johannesburg, including world-renowned Kruger National Park. Winter here (in the southern hemisphere of course) is beautiful, with days warm and very sunny and nights cool, as well as being almost entirely dry. Conditions which are perfect for getting out and about on multiple expeditions and drives across the vast plains, with cameras and binoculars to hand, ready to see, first hand, lions, rhinos, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, buffalo, elephant, hippo etc. etc. The cool mornings are best for heading out in convoy, before coming back to your base, enjoying a sumptuous breakfast, perhaps lazing by the pool, chatting over your morning, before heading out at sunset to do it all again! Magic!
