South Africa Overland Safari
The road between places becomes part of the safari
South Africa is ideal for guests who want variety: wildlife, history, wide horizons, working farms, mountain passes, small towns, wine country and coastal roads. The experience is still fully hosted and supported, but the tone can be adapted: family travel, private celebration, food-led journey, photographic route or a slower scenic itinerary. Where Botswana feels remote and elemental, South Africa offers contrast. One journey can move through ancient rock formations, national parks, farm kitchens, wildlife reserves and coastal air - always with the Mhondoro team taking care of the details.
