Safari in South Africa generally means to go shooting photos with animals as your models, but the word safari also means to go on a journey. I want to take you on a journey to Cape Town, to a place where you can actually “shoot” photos of animals in an area which is not generally thought of as “safari country”.

The beauty of taking a safari in the Western Cape is that it is totally malaria free, meaning that you do not have to plan for months in advance, visit doctors, take malaria tablets, but you still get to see the Big 5 (lion, leopard, rhino, elephant and Cape Buffalo) plus many other plains animals such as Black Wildebeest, boks of many varieties, zebra and ostriches.

One such South Africa safari lodge is Aquila and they have a delightful video which I have added here. Take a look at it - sit back and relax for a minute while the music washes over you and the glorious pictures unfold before you. When you click on the links you might find that the low-band video produces the best results …

Now, tell me you don’t feel better for having watched! One word of caution, if you want to experience a safari anywhere in South Africa, you will have to plan ahead of time. Aquila is booked up well in advance, so the earliest you know your travel dates, the better.

Let us help you find that elusive booking though if you can’t book early. I can’t make any promises, but we can usually winkle out something …
