The Lobo Valley is a low-impact area, meaning there are few camps and safari vehicles - a bit like having your own private Serengeti. The area is known for big cats, scenic sweeping valleys and four natural waterholes that attract a variety of wildlife.

Sometimes you may want to go on safari outside of peak times - perhaps in combo with a beach holiday in Cape Town, for example.

A trip to the bush during the months of November to March is known as a Green Season safari. While the rains impact game viewing, there are a few reasons that a summer safari can work in your favour.

✅️ Reserves are less crowded
✅️ The bush is lush, green and simply gorgeous
✅️ It's birthing season for many animal species
✅️ Rates are lower in certain destinations (Botswana & Zambia)

Formerly known as Selous Game Reserve, Nyerere National Park in southern Tanzania offers a slice of truly unspoiled wilderness. Secluded and and off the beaten track, it's one of the few Big 5 game reserves to allow hiking. It was declared a World Heritage Site due to its sensational landscapes and enormous diversity of wildlife. In addition to the Big 5, you'll see puku antelope, wild dogs and sable antelope.

Our Story

At Portfolio we feature only handpicked accommodation in South Africa and Namibia that you can book online. Each listed accommodation has been visited by us; that means we've slept in the beds, checked out the view and dined with the owners ourselves. We're proud to give you our personal recommendations of only the very best accommodation spots.

We also plan customised itineraries to other African destinations. Our Cape Town based travel consultants will put their vast travel experience at your disposal to create a very personal itinerary that ticks all your boxes, all the while giving you peace of mind that there is nothing we don’t know about travel in Africa. We’ll guide you using our first-hand knowledge of all the top destinations, hotels and lodges in Southern Africa as well as East Africa and the Indian Ocean Islands.

All we want from you is to relax, soak up the sun, capture that perfect lion shot on camera and go home with the most incredible memories.
