A few hours’ drive or a 50-minute flight from Joburg is an area of outstanding beauty that is home to some spectacular reserves, Africa’s big game, rugged wilderness - and The Temple of Courage.
Adjacent to the madness of Sun City Resort and buffered by 50,000 hectares of dramatic volcanic-induced scenery is the Pilanesberg National Park. Filled with Africa’s mighty beasts and plenty of common and lesser-known ones, the reserve is a convenient and accessible introduction to the African wilderness and its fascinating wildlife.
Further north, buffered by more hectarage and a no-day-visitors rule, is the massive Madikwe Game Reserve that tries to upstage the pretty Pilanesberg in every respect. With more animals, more species, fewer visitors and better activities it should come as no surprise that there are more noughts on the end of a Madikwe safari price tag as well.
For a different and equally impressive wildlife experience, the Garden Route Safaris also offer big game and exclusive lodges in the serene malaria-free Eastern Cape; what’s more the reserves are an extension of the Garden Route, which is close to Cape Town.
Whether your clients choose the wide open spaces of the north, or the temperate south, malaria free safaris offer some of the best game viewing in southern Africa, without the pesky issues of contracting mosquito-borne diesases.
