Packages - Weekend Getaways and Bush Breaks

It`s morning and you`re ready to experience the Lion King for yourself! The stillness is broken only by the songs of the birds and the feint roar of a lion in the distance, silence as the darkness lifts and the creatures whisper in an african dawn. The sun has only just started to appear over the hills and spring horizons, and you receive visions of a spectacular game activity experience. This can be YOUR bush experience!

Having visited these establishments ourselves we can assure you that this will be a journey of a lifetime and beyond! There is a choice of luxury wildlife destinations and a range of further options of affordable more rustic style camps, offering fixed tented accommodation or bush chalets FULLY INCLUSIVE OR SELF CATERING. Limpopo, Mpumalanga, North West and Gauteng surrounds offer many variations of the Bushveld retreat, where predators or Big 5 Animals arent encountered but many other appealing attractions for the bush lover are naturally complemented where plains game roam freely and an abundance of birding opportunities arise for the TWEETERS! 

Wildlife Destinations and your bush escapes attract the adventurer seeking for an overall wildlife experience coupled with further green activities and animal encounter excursions adding complete variety to your bush escape if you so wish, as not all of us are able to just unwind and relax but would rather embrace the opportunity and absorb as much valuable educational experiences and exciting encounters. African Chapter brings you an overview of the various activities available in your chosen Wildlife region.

If your passion is the search for the African wildlife and the mystery of what waits around the next curve in the road or behind the next bush? Your game ranger or field guide will do their best to find the best game viewing and photographic experience they can, whilst too securing your safety and that of the game you are viewing. Your wish, their desire and their experience make up your journey. African Chapter encourage our guests to pick at these amazing characters minds to ensure your experience is one of an educational nature where unusual conversations are the order of the day and so nothing but extra-ordinary!

In this chapter, aptly named bush breaks we provide complete or suggested tailormade packages, fine dining and authentic meals to tantalize your taste buds, the sheer atmosphere exudes Africa and maps simply dont exist. A place where all wonders begin and new ideas arise out of the stillness surrounding you!

The African velvety sky becomes a vast canvas of millions of scattered constillations of stars and opportunities to encounter a Guided talk on the fascinating Astronomy world at your request through African Chapter. This is the African Bush at its best, cost effective and no hassle!!
