SOUTH AFRICA SAFARI

Wildlife, Wine Country and Whales


EcoQuest Travel is proud to invite you on the journey of a lifetime as we explore the natural history and cultural heritage of South Africa! South Africa is blessed with abundant wildlife, incredible scenery, glittering cities, a tapestry of cultures and a soul ravaged and scarred, but also beautiful and full of hope. South Africa beckons with the promise of unforgettable experiences: a leopard fading into the inky darkness of an African night; the power of a right whale heaving itself out of the calm waters of the Indian Ocean; the vibrance of Cape Town and the sobering history of Robben Island; the stunning vistas from the top of Table Mountain; elephants at play and so much more. Come join us as we go on safari through some of South Africa’s greatest national parks in hopes of glimpsing the “Big Five” amid the vast diversity of wildlife that makes any safari to Africa magical. Along the way I hope we discover the heart of the “Rainbow Nation” as she heals and her colors finally begin to blend.
