South Africa Safari Vacation FAQs

  • Which is the most popular safari park in South Africa?

    While most of the safari sites in South Africa promise exceptional wildlife sightings, Kruger National Park is the most famous. The sheer abundance of animals here, including those belonging to the Big Five, makes it a great spot for anyone who hasn't been on safari before.

    That being said, there are many remarkable highlights at each of the safari destinations we cover.

  • Can I book a luxury family safari in South Africa?

    We're proud to offer family safaris in South Africa that your loved ones won't forget in a hurry. Whether you're searching for a tour suitable for teens or much younger children, there are endless activities for them to get involved in. Think helicopter tours, junior ranger programs and even kids clubs. We strive for one-of-a-kind tours in comfortable surroundings so you can get the most out of the experience.

    You can tailor your chosen tour so that it accommodates any grandparents joining you on your trip. Simply specify any requirements you have when you book.

  • How do I plan my luxury South Africa safari vacation?

    Let us relieve you of all the logistical stresses that come with planning a vacation. When you book with Scott Dunn, you can relax knowing that any tricky admin tasks will be handled ahead of the trip. Simply tell us what you'd love to experience during your South Africa safari vacation and we'll do the rest.

  • How long are your luxury South Africa safari packages?

    Our vacations in South Africa last between nine and 13 nights and many of these include unforgettable safari tours through national parks and iconic game reserves. We can advise you further about any recommendations we have regarding each safari tour – and remember, you can opt for a completely customized trip.

  • What are the flight times for going on a safari vacation to South Africa?

    A direct commercial flight from the United States to Cape Town or Johannesburg takes around 15 hours. You can only get direct flights from airports on the East Coast, so if you're flying from Los Angeles, for example, you'll likely get a connection there or in a European capital. This can take upwards of 20 hours in total.

    However, our team of experts can take care of booking your flights, so you can sit back and let the excitement for your South Africa safari build.

  • What type of accommodation will I stay in during my luxury safari vacation in South Africa?

    Our South Africa tours and safaris are interspersed with comfortable and stylish accommodation that allows you to completely recharge at the end of the day. Think luxury safari lodges and hotels in enviable spots across South Africa that are perfect for Big Five game-viewing. Wake up at your villa in the Madikwe Game Reserve to elephants playing in nearby water or watch hippos from the deck at Chitwa Chitwa in the Sabi Sand Game Reserve.

    Alternatively, spot animals drinking from the river right in front of the Dulini River Lodge, also on the Sabi Sand Game Reserve. Your luxury safari lodge will be among the best in South Africa, fitted with private plunge pools, floor-to-ceiling windows and vast outdoor game-viewing spots you can comfortably sit in for hours. You'll be perfectly placed for animal-spotting wherever you are.

  • Can I visit multiple countries during my South Africa safari vacation?

    Selected safari vacations to South Africa include a visit to another country. This ensures your tour is varied, allowing you to soak up multiple new experiences and sites in one unforgettable trip. After spotting the Big Five in South Africa's world-famous game reserves, you can sink into tropical bliss in Mauritius or explore the Bazaruto Archipelago in Mozambique.
