South Africa
What We Love
- South Africa is the most developed and cosmopolitan country in Africa. For those hesitant to leave too many Western comforts behind, this might be the best area to visit.
- Direct flights from the United States allow an efficient journey.
- Many of the best camps are on private ranches that were previously fenced in as hunting reserves. Many of these fences have been removed, or they are in the process of being taken down, to allow the animals to once again roam freely among neighboring reserves and national parks, which is great news for the animals.
