South African safari is an amazing travel experience. The diverse wildlife and stunning scenery make South Africa one of the most perfect safari locations.  To the northeast of South Africa is the Kruger National Park where the bush harbors the "Big Five" animals to see (the lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard and rhino), as well as many other fascinating animals and birds. The Kruger National Park is not the only place where you can go on a safari holiday in South Africa, although it is the best known. There are many privately owned game reserves where you can stay and go on game drives to watch the wild life, like for instance the Welgevonden Game Reserve.

When you plan for your safari, you should investigate not only the weather situation at different times of the year, but also the animal seasons, for instance annual migrations etc.

Game drives are best enjoyed when you have good optical equipment such as binoculars, still cameras and video cameras. Remember that all optical equipment has to cope with very difficult light conditions, such as intense sunlight during daytime and very little light in the early morning or late afternoon when many predators are active.

National Parks can get very hot, so it is important to have enough water at hand. Early morning and night drives, on the other hand, can get distinctly chilly during the South African winter, so remember to bring a sweater or coat. Also remember to use a liberal amount of sunscreen, since the sun gets very strong.
