Südafrika ist das am einfachsten erreichbare Safariziel auf dem Kontinent – es vereint erstklassige Wildreservate mit den Attraktionen von Kapstadt, den Weinregionen und der Garden Route. Der Kruger-Nationalpark und die angrenzenden privaten Reservate bieten die Möglichkeit, die "Big Five" (Löwe, Leopard, Elefant, Nashorn, Büffel) zu beobachten. Viele Reservate sind malariafrei, was sie ideal für Familien macht. Eine Safari hier kann von Johannesburg aus mit dem eigenen Auto unternommen werden.
