As South Africa’s wild spaces shift from the golden hush of winter into the bloom of spring, there’s no better time to explore a journey through the African Safari Collective’s six extraordinary lodges. We’ve paired them into seamless itineraries, giving travellers access to contrasting regions, unique landscapes, and immersive experiences—all connected by sustainability, community, and soul.

Fairview House + Three Tree Hill
Start your adventure on the Garden Route. From Fairview House, venture to Plettenberg Bay’s whale-watching lookouts and forested coastal walks in the Tsitsikamma. Then, head inland to Three Tree Hill, nestled in the Drakensberg. Here, history whispers from the battlefields, and hikes lead through wildflower-strewn mountain paths.

Makakatana Bay + Sungulwane Private Game Lodge
iSimangaliso’s estuary is teeming with hippos, crocodiles, and birdlife on boat safaris from Makakatana Bay. Combine this with Zululand’s big game and an intimate Big Five safari at Sungulwane, where photography hides and conservation-led rhino tracking deepen the impact.

Leopard Mountain + Fugitives’ Drift 
Experience a blend of private bush luxury and legendary storytelling. At Leopard Mountain, your stay supports pangolin rehabilitation and includes visits to a nearby rhino orphanage. Then step into history at Fugitives’ Drift with immersive battlefield tours and community education programs.

Three pairings. Six lodges.

One unforgettable transition from winter stillness to spring’s arrival.
