It is no secret that South Africa is one of if not the most popular destination for a wildlife safari holiday. Year upon year thousands of people head to South Africa to explore one of the many safari type holidays they have on offer.

South Africa offers the perfect climate for wildlife and vegetation to thrive and this attracts many different species to the area.

There are a number of different types of safari trips you can do in South Africa such as gorilla trekking, self-drive safaris, guided tours and even walking safaris. The cost of these safari holidays varies depending on where you go, what type of safari you book and who you book with. Some types of safari trips will cost more as the overheads are higher. This is true for guided tours where they need to budget in the cost of the tour guide as well as fuel and maintenance of the vehicles used.

Whilst on an African safari you can expect to encounter a wide selection of birds and animals including the big five, which are the Elephants, Rhinos, Buffalo, Leopards and Lions.  

An African safari is a holiday that will blow your mind and leave you with fantastic memories for years to come. They are not the cheapest of holidays by far, but an experience not to be missed.
