South Africa’s raw and vivid plains host the world’s most dramatic wildlife spectacles and are also home to a wealth of exquisite cultures and experiences. Here at Turquoise we specialise in creating the ultimate South African safari and we understand the importance of finding the perfect place to start your safari. We pride ourselves on matching the right person to the right safari package.
The nostalgia and excitement of a Safari fills our minds with images of local porters carrying huge loads upon their heads - and 'pith-helmeted' ex colonels keeping watch as the African night sets in. Then as darkness falls lanterns are lit whilst tall stories of huge beasts echo around a glowing campfire. Although these images are more likely to represent an old black and white movie, we at Turquoise have tried to select the very best camps and lodges which hold true to these old-fashioned values.
On our website you will find tented camps draped in cotton and canvas, tree houses clinging to the African canopy and cool verandas sheltered by local thatch - the perfect place to sip a long glass of 'G&T' which tinkles and clinks as the ice and lemon meet the night air. Our carefully selected properties are some of the smallest - many are owner - operated - and all have their own unique style from lodges offering bone china and silver service to the more laid-back rustic, authentic approach. South Africa safaris are driven by a sense of adventure and exploration offering a chance to see South Africa in all its splendour.
