Amazing Safari in S. Africa

Amazing Safari in S. Africa

I had the most amazing Safaris in Sun City and Kruger Park in South Africa which are definitely ranking among my top 3 travel adventures. This time, let me share with you a memorable experience at the Legend Safari and Golf Resort in the scenic Entabeni Safari Conservancy of the malaria-free Waterberg region in South Africa’s Limpopo Province.

Is it safe to go on a safari during the Pandemic?

In principle, Safaris are socially distant as you are in the wilderness and travel in open vehicles, and typically you stay in your own tent or bungalow, and meals are taken outdoors around a campfire…

South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Namibia, and Mozambique have announced reopening and U.S. travelers are welcome. Most of the Safari destinations are waiting to welcome you and are following safety protocols. Most of these destinations require visitors to have a negative COVID-19 test with 48 to 120 hours of arrival. Do check any update before booking as the situation may change from day to day.

How to get to the Waterberg region?

The Waterberg in South Africa’s Limpopo province is a popular area known for its wildlife and is malaria-free.

Polokwane International Airport is 89.6 km from the Entabeni Safari. Most hotels would offer shuttle service with prior booking. Entabeni is less than 3-hour drive north from Johannesburg and around 3-1/2 hour drive from Cape Town.

On this trip, Vertime has arranged to fly our group from Cape Town to the reserve airstrip.

Our spacious suites are spread around the beautiful grounds surrounded by natural landscapes.

The resort has no fences, which means that the wildlife can roam freely in their natural environment.

Stepping out from the room, my first sight is a zebra grazing nearby…

The resort features an 18-hole signature golf course, which includes The Extreme 19th – arguably the most challenging and exciting par 3 in the world which requires a helicopter trip to complete. Be prepared to see herds of giraffes, zebras or antelopes roaming free along the fairways.

Entabeni Safari Conservancy

Vertime has kindly made all the arrangements and have booked a Safari drive for our group, in the company of experienced guides.

This mountainous reserve is home to the Big 5, and if you’re lucky, you may catch sight of a leopard. There are approximately 50 mammal species and over 400 bird species to be seen. The area is also geologically and archaeologically interesting.

Entabeni Safari Conservancy, rightfully dubbed “The Place of the Mountain”, is situated in the World Heritage Waterberg Biosphere.
