Have Your Safari Your Way...Hunting, Photography, or Flying South Africa

Safaris are almost always in peoples' "top ten" dream vacations, and with good reason!  Go to South Africa and experience the trip of a lifetime.

Whether you want a traditional hunting safari or a photographic safari, there are many quality safaris to guide you.  The only limit is your imagination; you can rent a plane and fly over South Africa, witnessing spectacular scenery, herds of animals, hundreds of species of birds, and much more.  There are even motorcycle tours available!

Try to schedule extra time before or after your safari to tour Cape Town and/or the famous wine country as well.

Great people from South Africa

The Best Safari Company in South Africa
The Kleinhans brothers provided us the most incredible adventure we could have asked for and over-delivered from the moment our flight landed until we reluctantly left 10 days later. JP and Mel Kleinhans, JP's wife Natia, and their very able guides and staff welcomed us warmly. (A third brother, Adolph, has a photo safari business nearby.) Full meals served family style, laundry done daily, a fully-stocked bar, and a safari experience I will never forget. Also important to note is JP Kleinhaus is a first-rate taxidermist.
Sangoma Skulls
Phillip was the videographer on the Safari; pretty brave to go lion hunting armed with a camera.
Ever Attended A Whale Festival?
Check out SafariNow.com! Even if you can't be there, this will give you some of the flavor of incredible South Africa. Enjoy!
River Rafting Adventures
Anything from lazy floating to Grade IV rapids. With wild birds and animals watching you!!!
Fish Taxi
OK, a slight segue...to Southern California. If it wasn't for Don Nelson I would never have been included on the safari. Don has a fantastic deep-sea charter in Oceanside, California (near San Diego). Don has been fishing there forever and knows where to go, and he is a great, laid-back guy. Someone just caught a 453 lb. Thresher Shark May 8, 2007. When I went I got a free T-shirt. :0)
African Gifts
This is a nice place to get African products.
