South Africa is a bucket-list destination for many. But it doesn’t have to be a far-fetched dream this year. The country is welcoming back tourists after the double blow of the pandemic and the travel bans last year. And we have found a massively discounted deal to fly you off to the bush.
Leopard Lodge on Sebatana Private Game Reserve—around four hours from Johannesburg—is offering 47% off its price. You can stay in the 10-room intimate lodge for seven nights for as low as $1,699 on select dates from July 27, 2022-November 1, 2023.

All meals and local taxes are covered in the price and the roundtrip transfers from the airport in Johannesburg are also taken care of. In addition, you’ll also get four game drives, a bush walk, a city tour of Johannesburg or Soweto, and a trip to the Apartheid Museum. There’s also a champagne brunch and sunset toast that the lodge has added to the mix.

The 150-square-mile reserve is home to 75 species of mammals and more than 200 varieties of birds, along with other native plants and wildlife.
