Tour overview

Discover Gauteng’s wild side on the Dinokeng Big 5 Safari Tour, a guided small-group adventure just 90 minutes from Johannesburg. Perfect for those wanting to see Africa’s most iconic wildlife without traveling far, this experience offers a unique window into the pristine bushveld of the Dinokeng Game Reserve – the only Big 5 reserve in Gauteng. Your day begins with a scenic transfer from Rosebank, Sandton, or Melrose Arch, before arriving at an 8,000-hectare private concession in the northern section of Dinokeng. Here, you’ll climb aboard a 4x4 safari vehicle and set off on a 2.5 – 3-hour game drive with an expert ranger. Expect thrilling sightings of lions, elephants, rhinos, leopards, buffalo, and a variety of plains game and birdlife. Because this tour takes place in a private concession, you’ll enjoy exclusive access to areas closed to the general public – ensuring an intimate and crowd-free wildlife experience. After your game drive, take a moment to relax overlooking the dam before your return transfer. This tour runs on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays and is limited to just 10 guests per vehicle for a comfortable and personal safari experience.
