| SOUTH AFRICA’S BIG FIVE |
| 12 – 24 July 2009 |
The game-rich area of Mpumalanga (Eastern Transvaal) is “Big Five” country and the home of many conservation-minded private Game Reserves. These reserves are home to buffelo, rhino, elephant, lion, and leopard along with a wide variety of plains game and bird life. The photographic opportunities are numerous and there is ample time in each reserve to give you an opportunity to scout out the best location for that “perfect” image. Accommodation will be in hotels, lodges, and camps featured in On Safari. |
