Track the Big Five with a dedicated ranger and open-top 4x4 on a private reserve, far from other vehicles.
What to expect
Your ranger and tracker meet you at the reserve gate and brief you before setting out in an open safari vehicle radio-linked to other trackers on the property. Sightings unfold at a relaxed, exclusive pace - no jostling with other trucks. Sundowner stops with drinks are typical on longer drives. The bush terrain and golden light make for extraordinary photography.

Good to know
This applies to ports near South Africa's Eastern/Western Cape reserves; transfer time from port can run 1.5-2 hours each way, so this suits calls with a long or overnight stay.
