Some of South Africa's main attractions can only be found inside its many national and private game reserves and game lodges. Mpumalanga, the Limpopo Province and areas near Gauteng provide world renowned wildlife territories. The most prominent of these are the Sabi Sands Private Game Reserve and the Limpopo Game Lodge.
Visitors are attracted to the reserves not only for the amazing variety of wildlife, birdlife and flora, but also for the mere fact that a trip to a game park is a truly relaxing and revitalising experience. Many people claim that going on a safari is often the best and most unique experience South Africa has to offer.
