South Africa - Situated on the southern tip of the African continent, South Africa has often been described as a world in one country. It has a wealth of natural beauty, pristine wilderness areas, warm and friendly people, cosmopolitan cities and excellent infrastructure - making South Africa a favorite safari destination. South Africa is bordered to the north by Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe, to the north-east by Mozambique and Swaziland. Lesotho is contained entirely inside the borders of South Africa.
History & Background:Europeans set up a halfway station for ships traveling to the East at the Cape of Good Hope in the 17th century. The Dutch were the first to govern until the English took over in the 18th century. In 1948, the Afrikaner-dominated National Party came into power, implementing Apartheid, designed to segregate racial groups and repress the black population. South Africa is one of the most ethnically diverse countries in Africa, and has the largest white population on the continent. Racial and ethnic strife have played a large role in much of the country's history and politics. Resistance led by the African National Congress (ANC) prompted the first democratic elections in 1994. Under charismatic leader Nelson Mandela, the country then started its slow growing curve towards a better life for all its citizens.
Scheduled and Tailor Made Safaris: South Africa has the most amount of private game reserves on the African continent. Below you will find numerous small group, maximum 10 client safaris that Jenman African Safaris runs in and around South Africa. You can join one of our scheduled camping or lodge safaris or if youd like, one of our experienced travel consultants can tailor make a private safari to meet your departure date, time period, group size and budget. A great option is to come on one of our Cape Town and Garden route tours and then let us fly you up to the Kruger National park for the Big 5 safari of a life time.
Best Game Viewing and Travel Months: The northern regions are best enjoyed during winter from May through to September. The temperatures are mild, the bush is dry and less dense and the wildlife viewing superb. This is where the Kruger National park is situated which has fair game viewing from November to May, good game viewing in June and July and excellent game viewing in August to October. The southern parts are most pleasant during summer from October to March. Days are hot and sunny and you cant beat Cape Town weather in December through to March. The best time to see the flowers of the Cape is in Spring.Whales arrive along the Cape Town coast from July onwards the best place in the world to view the Southern Right whales from the Coastline.
