And there’s plenty included to make the journey as seamless as possible:
- Return economy flights from London
- Internal flights within South Africa
- All road transfers
- Three nights at a luxury safari lodge
- Scheduled game drives
- All meals at the safari lodge
- Two nights in Cape Town
The exact accommodation will be confirmed at the time of booking, so your trip will be tailored around availability when you’re ready to travel.
Meet your safari specialists
The prize comes courtesy of Safari.com, who have been creating tailor-made African safaris for 20 years, with more than 60,500 travellers experiencing Africa through the company since 2006.
Named 'Africa’s Leading Safari Company' at the World Travel Awards in 2024, 2025 and 2026, what sets their team apart is a belief in human responsibility.
Every traveller has two named points of contact – the safari specialist who designs the trip, and a dedicated member of the concierge team – reachable whenever you need them, before, during and after the safari. No call centres, no bouncing between departments – just people who know your trip personally and have stayed in the lodges and driven the routes themselves.
Every booking includes complimentary travel insurance, and because lodges pay Safari.com's commission, travellers pay the same as booking direct.
