SOUTH AFRICA SAFARI WITH THE LEGACY UNTOLD

When you journey to South Africa for a luxury safari with The Legacy Untold we’ll put you in the heart of the action for up-close encounters with Africa’s most iconic wildlife, and then spoil you with five-star hospitality. From classic game drives to guided walks through the bush, you can see the South African wilderness come alive from every vantage point. Gaze at elephants lapping up a drink at a watering hole from your private plunge pool, dine with the people you love under a star filled sky and then spend the night in a thatched-roof sleep out deck, taking in all of the sounds of the wild. South Africa will captivate you, from spotting a lion on your first sunrise game drive to your last sundowner watching the giant African sun dip below the horizon.

Kruger National Park and its surrounding private concessions together make up one of the largest nature reserves left on Earth. More mammals inhabit these 2 million hectares/7500 square miles – about the size of Wales – than anywhere else on the planet. In the adjacent private reserves including Sabi Sands, Thornybush and Timbavati the wildlife density – especially leopards – is exceptional and the safari lodges here are some of the most luxurious on the continent. The many conservation initiatives happening in this part of South Africa continue to be successful thanks to our partners who have been pioneering the preservation of wild places through tourism for decades. Opportunities to get involved include hands-on experiences with scientists and immersion in community projects.
