Best Time To Go On South Africa Safaris
With so many equally amazing attractions there is no bad time to visit South Africa Destinations. However, if you’re planning for South African Safaris, then from November to February and June to October is a perfect time.
Where To Go For The Best Experience Of South Africa Safari?
The Northern Province Limpopo offers the best South African Safari Tours. Anything nearer the Kruger National Park is jam-packed with wildlife and attractive to tourists.
The Kruger National Park is the largest game reserve in Africa with over 100 reptiles, 150 species of birds, and 148 mammals.
There are countless private game reserves and safari camps available. Some of the most popular game reserves are Thornybush, Sabi Sand, Timbavati, Manyeleti, Makalali, and Balule.
“Choose Your Own Adventure” with Self Drive South Africa Safaris
We, at Gazelle Safaris Africa, believe the Kruger experience is incomplete unless you self-drive in the national park and spend a few nights in the luxury of one of our private game lodges on the outskirts of the park.

We travelled twice with Gazelle: first to Murchison Falls and a year later to Queen Elizabeth National Park, from Entebbe. The trip was organised very well, good recommendations were made but our needs and preferences were also taken into account in a flexible way. Anne was very clear with communication and very receptive resolving all unexpected situations. Two fantastic weeks in Uganda!
