If you're looking for thrills and adventure this summertime, there's no better
way to go than a safari. The bushveld is one of the best 'get-away-from-it-all'
holiday destinations, for you to unwind from the stress of everyday life. Also
a perfect 'honeymoon destination' it can double as an 'adventure playground'
for the stimulating family holiday.
African sunsets are among the most beautiful in the world, so kick back and
relax in the romantic ambience of the bushveld; feast around roaring fires under
the African stars, eat at restaurants offering award-winning cuisine, and enjoy
a good pampering at the resident spa or wellness centre.
Take your pick of the myriad outdoor activities on offer: expert game rangers
do evening and daily game drives - you can explore the surrounding culture by
visiting a local village and taking part in traditional singing and dancing
- swimming, gyming, and a spot of tennis will get the blood flowing after indulging
in those African cocktails. A safari doesn't have to cost you an arm and a leg.
There are different ways to do it; depending on your budget and desired experience.
National or Private Reserve
If you decide to go 'Private' it will be a lot like flying first-class; everything
you want, desire or need will be at your fingertips. This is plush 5-star in
remote bushveld; you can safely expect the ultimate in adventure, luxury and
exclusivity.
At a Private Reserve, the emphasis is on exceptional personal service, access
to game-rich bushveld and superb facilities. Breathtaking views can be enjoyed
in restful solitude. Experienced trackers and game rangers do game drives in
open land rovers, tracking the big five, and sharing their vast knowledge of
surrounding wildlife, flora and fauna.
A good example of unrivalled 'bush' luxury is the Ulusaba Private Game Reserve, where lodges are built into rock mounds and tree houses have rivers running through.
If you decide to go 'National', there are many options. The main rest camp at
the Kruger National Park has chalets, family cottages, bungalows, safari tents,
caravan and campsites, or there are bushveld camps and bush lodges. These vary
in price and style, depending on how hands-on you want to be. These rest camps
provide shops, restaurants, gas stations, ATM banking, public telephones, pharmacies,
medical services etc.
A large selection of wildlife safari tours are available. All walking safaris,
or hiking trails are guided by experienced rangers who have an extensive knowledge
of the area, wildlife, birds, and indigenous vegetation. Accommodation in the
game reserve is in two-bedded safari-tents with communal toilet and shower facilities.
Know your weather
If you're going to wander around the wilderness getting intimate with the African
Kingdom, you need to know your weather! The average summer temperature for the
Sabi-Sabi/Kruger Park region is an average 34°C during the day. The warm
summer rains bring a lush green hue to the once golden glow of the bushveld;
providing a sometime welcome relief from the heat.
Temperatures gradually fall to roughly 20°C at night. You will be privy
to brief but beautiful thunderstorms - so come prepared when eating under the
stars - the night sky is occasionally illuminated by lightening, a truly spectacular
sight.
These figures represent average temperatures, but this is Africa so remember
the weather is not always predictable. Thundershowers could occur during the
dry season, and days may go by with no rain at all during the rainy season.
So, prepare for the contradictory nature of the weather by bringing a raincoat
and copious amounts of sunblock.
Summer is still the season when wildlife thrives. In contrast to the winter
months when most areas are dry and arid; the summer months are a time of plenty.
As a result, the savannah is transformed into an emerald-green paradise; a great
time to enjoy the floral diversity of the region and its dazzling array of bird
life.
