How to Book a Safari in South Africa Online

Booking a safari in South Africa has never been easier, thanks to the power of online planning and expert travel services. Whether you’re dreaming of tracking the Big Five in Kruger or relaxing in a luxury lodge in Madikwe, organizing your safari online allows you to research, compare, and secure the perfect adventure from anywhere in the world.

At Mandari Travel, we help you plan and book fully customized South African safaris online, quickly, safely, and with expert support every step of the way. Here’s how to do it:

Step 1: Decide What Type of Safari You Want

Start by asking yourself:

Do you want a guided safari or prefer to self-drive?
Are you interested in luxury lodges, mid-range camps, or budget-friendly options?
Will you be traveling as a couple, family, or solo?
Do you prefer a malaria-free destination?

Some popular safari options in South Africa include:

Kruger National Park – Great for first-timers and self-drives
Pilanesberg & Madikwe – Malaria-free and family-friendly
Private Game Reserves – Exclusive lodges and expert guides

Step 2: Choose Your Safari Destination(s)

Use online research or consult with experts like Mandari Travel to narrow down destinations that match your interests and travel style. Think about:

Travel time and accessibility
Wildlife experiences (Big Five, birding, photography)
Additional activities like night drives or walking safaris

Need help deciding? We’re here for that!

Step 3: Select Your Dates and Duration.

South Africa’s safari season runs year-round, but May to October (dry season) is best for wildlife visibility. Decide how many nights you want to spend on safari and whether you’ll combine it with other destinations like Cape Town or the Garden Route.
