African SunAfrican Trips - Safari Packages to South Africa

South Africa is popular for different things: some people know about it that was the last country in the world that abolished the apartheid regime, others appreciate the excellent wines produced in this African country, some say that there take place a football world championship, but much more people heard about this land as a great spot for taking African trips and vacations, especially in wildlife parks such as Kruger National Park and Sabi Sand Game Reserve. African safari packages are offered in large number on the international travel scene and are more and more demanded by tourists of all ages. This happens because people saw many documentary movies about wildlife parks in Africa and the interesting and unique cultures of peoples who live there. Also, many tourists understood how fragile is the life on the our planet and want to enjoy some of the last unspoiled areas of it.

Safari packages to South Africa are in harsh competition with safari trips offered by other countries, especially Namibia, Tanzania and Kenya, but also Uganda, Zambia, Botswana and Zimbabwe. Still, many vacationers prefer to book holiday packages to this country, even if sometimes other countries offer more affordable deals! Why happens this? Foremost, due to the richness of wildlife from the national parks and game reserves in this country. There are numerous areas where can be seen many species of animals, but the most renowned are Kruger National Park and Sabi Sand Game Reserve.

Kruger National Park, with 18,989 square kilometers (7,332 square miles), is the largest game reserve in South Africa. Together with Gonarezhou National Park in Zimbabwe and Limpopo National Park in Mozambique it makes up the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park. Kruger is renowned for the many bird species (517) but also for the many mammal species (147), including the most demanded of all, called the "Big Five": lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard and rhino. There are plenty of safari tours to Kruger National Park and some of the most popular are "Savanna Private Game Reserve Package in Kruger National Park", "Chitwa Chitwa Game Lodge Package in Kruger National Park", "The Classic Kruger National Park Tour", and "Wildlife Experience in Kruger National Park".

Sabi Sand Game Reserve is a privately owned park and is comprised in fact of more smaller game reserves named Mala Mala, Singita, Exeter, Djuma, Londolozi, Lion Sands, Sabi Sabi and Ulusaba. In the entire region live numerous wild animal species like cheetah, elephant, lion, buffalo, leopard, rhino and others. Because there are no fences between this parks and Kruger all animals teeming freely and therefore the game viewing is truly amazing! Some packages include only Sabi Sand, while others include trips to more game reserves. There are available safari deals which include Sabi Sand like "Panorama Route and Big 5 Safari: Sabi Sand Wildlife Reserve" and "Wildlife Experience at Sabi Sabi Earth Lodge".

Great South African vacations can be spent in many other places, not only in this two main tourist spots.
