11-day Magic Rivers Lodge Safari

This is a road safari with a private vehicle and guide. This type of travel allows you to fully appreciate the subtle changes in the environment as you move from one area to the next by land, and learn about the forces which drove these changes and shaped the contrasting landscape around you. The thrill is not only in the destination, but the journey itself.

In contrast to the constant comings and goings of most fly-in lodge safaris, the guided lodge safari offers the traveller a welcome sense on continuity, and an opportunity to get to know your guide and fellow travel companions, enhancing your experience. Small groups (usually 6 - 12 guests) ensure that you enjoy exclusivity and personal attention (ideal for families and private groups). The flexibility of a driven safari allows access to remote areas offering a unique and diverse safari experience. A key advantage of having a private vehicle and guide is the flexibility this offers, allowing for extended game drives outside the typical lodge routine. This safari is the prefect balance between adventure and relaxation.
