Why We Love This Deal

If seeing the Big Five is on your bucket list, this is the trip to book. With eight included game drives, you'll have the chance to spot lions, leopards, elephants and more in their natural habitat. Stay at an upscale lodge on a private game reserve in the Greater Kruger Region that past guests have called "exceptional," "gorgeous" and "the perfect place."

We found similar trips selling for more than $3600. That means with this package, you save as much as you spend.
