Safari In South Africa Top Three Companies Ranking

Choosing the right operator for your safari in South Africa is no easy task. There are so many of them all promising you a dream Africa trip. How can you be sure that they will deliver?

There is no way to be 100% certain of course but there is something you can do to stack the odds in your favour.

Take a look at the top three list that I've compiled from independent trip reports that I have access to as founder of the African Safari Journals website.

The companies that make it into the top three are the ones that have received great travel reviews from people that have been on a South Africa safari with them in the past.

So you can deal with them with a lot more confidence than if you just found them on the internet somewhere. It's not foolproof, but it will help you avoid the "cowboy companies" that unfortunately crop up every now and again.

I also (more about me) keep my ear to the ground in industry exhibitions, forums, newsletters and travel magazines to find out who the best of the best in the safari in South Africa travel business is.

How Much Would The Trip Cost?

Deluxe: Prices range from $650 upwards per person per night spent on safari.

Mid Range: Between $300 and $650 per person per night spent on safari.

Budget (usually camping): From $100 to $300 per person per night spent on safari.
