Safari in South Africa - Guide to Malaria Free South Africa Safaris

Safari in South Africa and you immediately think of hot, steamy, wide open spaces of the African velde, but research closer under the skin and you will find a wealth of smaller safari reserves based away from the Kruger.

Most of these game reserves are malaria-free, such as the Western and Eastern Cape and a safari can be combined with other holiday requisites such as beach, mountains, shopping - the list is endless! Also when time is tight, less travelling is involved to bring these elements together, therefore making your holiday time stretch further.

Take a look at this wonderful video for Aquila, a two hour drive from Cape Town and I think you will begin to see the possibilities of combining a city and safari holiday in one trip.

You might want to click on the low-band video, then sit back, relax, enjoy the up-beat music and the fantastic pictures!
