Track lions, elephants, and rhino by open-top 4x4 with a private ranger in a malaria-free reserve near Cape Town.
What to expect
Your ranger drives you through open bushveld, radioing other trackers for sightings of the Big Five as you go. You'll stop wherever wildlife appears, sometimes for twenty unhurried minutes watching a pride of lions or a herd of elephant at a waterhole. A midday break at the reserve lodge offers a plated lunch overlooking the plains before a second afternoon drive.
