Among the safari countries, South Africa is probably the most comfortable and the most sophisticated, but also the most urban. It is a country where most wildlife roams within fences – notably at the Kruger National Park.

Safaris here are notably well run, well organised and home to a great variety of animals as well as a wide selection camps and lodges. Experienced safari-goers tend to choose the private game reserves on the edge of Kruger.

These are small, exclusive reserves are like the designer label boutiques of the safari world: expensive but luxurious. Accommodation here is in bespoke rondavel’s which are based on traditional African-style round cottages. Fantastic dining is part of the package. They are perfect for short stays or if you just fancy a deluxe weekend.

In the northern part of Kruger, close to the border with Zimbabwe, the terrain looks and feels more expansive. There is game everywhere, everything is well looked after, and the maintenance is a tribute to South Africa's wildlife conservationists.

They have been trying to establish a trans-frontier wildlife park here for years, aiming to expand southern Africa's areas of biodiversity. As Zimbabwe's wildlife is being eaten by a famished population, this is unlikely to come about until regime change in that troubled country. A similar trans-frontier park is also a welcome possibility where Kruger abuts Mozambique, where continued poaching and land-mined areas pose a risk.

There is also a magical little park called the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park in the Kalahari Desert – the first of southern Africa's so-called Peace Parks, in the north-eastern Cape. This is the place to see gemsbok and traditional Bushmen.
