Capture breathtaking landscapes, wildlife close-ups, and stunning sunrises and sunsets. Enjoy guided star talks or simply marvel at the Milky Way on clear nights

Enjoying the thrill of an African safari whilst staying in a private lodge. Spotting the Big Five, and other rare and endemic species, on game drives, birding safaris and bush walks. Stargazing for clusters, galaxies and southern constellations in the night sky. Learning to cook South African style in a traditional potjie pot. Disconnecting from daily life and reconnecting with nature in a luxury five-star setting.

We’ve taken our safaris to a new level of luxury at the exclusive Qwabi Private Game Reserve in South Africa. This protected, private wilderness is part of the Waterberg Biosphere and offers a five-star safari experience across 11,000 hectares of untouched African bushveld. Dawn and dusk game drives reveal the beauty and serenity of the savannah and give you the chance to spot Africa’s legendary wildlife - including all the Big Five - roaming free. There’ll also be bush and birding walks to see smaller animals, birds and plant life, and guided stargazing pointing out celestial wonders in the African night sky. Throughout you’ll dine on authentic African cuisine crafted by a resident culinary team, and sleep in superior guest rooms whose earthy tones, wood finishes and African artefacts balance all the contemporary comforts of modern five-star hotel.

Day by day

Itinerary

  1. 1

    Qwabi Private Game Reserve

    Join your tour group at the lodge in Qwabi Private Game Reserve. After a light lunch - served on a deck overlooking the acacia-shaded riverbank - we’ll soon start to absorb the magic of the bush. Dinner tonight is followed with an introductory talk outlining the activities and adventures ahead.

  2. 2

    Qwabi Private Game Reserve

    An early start rewards us with the sight of the sun creeping over the natural pans and grassy savannahs as we search for the Big Five - lion, leopard, rhinoceros, elephant, and African buffalo - before the heat of the day. We return to camp for breakfast, after which the rest of the day is free to immerse yourself in this ancient, untamed landscape. Watch for wildlife on the riverbank - elephant, bushbuck, and buffalo have been known to walk by - or treat yourself (extra charge) to a soothing and rejuvenating spa treatment made with local herbs and plant extracts. South Africa produces some of the finest wines in the world, and tonight we’ve arranged a wine tasting before dinner, when you’ll become acquainted with an array of award-winning South African wines.

  3. 3

    Qwabi Private Game Reserve

    There’s no rush to get up this morning, so after waking to the sounds of the African bush and birdsong, you might be tempted to relax by the pool or retire with a book (and your binoculars) under a shady parasol. After a relaxed morning, it’s all systems go as we head out on our next game drive. We’ll stay out until the last rays of sun have disappeared over the horizon, scanning the savannah with our experienced guides for zebra, cheetah, and other prized animals. As one of only two UNESCO-declared Biosphere Reserves in Africa, Waterberg is actively managed for the conservation of wildlife. After dinner this evening, we’ll learn about the work being done to protect and preserve this precious environment with a talk by a local conservation expert.

  4. 4

    Qwabi Private Game Reserve

    Enlightened by last night’s talk, we’ll head out in 4WDs early this morning and find the perfect spot to see the sun rise over this extraordinary landscape and watch animals emerge for another day in the bush. Returning for breakfast and a go-slow morning, this afternoon brings local flavour of a different kind as we learn the art of potjie pot cooking with Letamo’s resident chef. These three-legged cast-iron cooking pots are traditional in southern Africa, and a memorable experience will be the tasty stew - chicken, lamb, or vegetable - you’ll slow-cook over hot coals for dinner tonight.

  5. 5

    Qwabi Private Game Reserve

    The conservation theme continues this afternoon as we head to a local Ground Hornbill Project where we’ll meet the rangers and find out how these charismatic, critically endangered birds are being hand-reared and reintroduced to the wild. Tonight, after dinner, we’ll gather outside to watch as ‘star rangers’ point out planets and constellations. Far from light pollution and the hubbub of daily life, these stargazing experiences give us a deep sense of connection with the natural world.

  6. 6

    Qwabi Private Game Reserve

    Up with the dawn chorus, we’ll look to the skies and the trees on a birdwatching game drive. Bird species to look out for include white backed heron, ostrich, and Cape vulture, proving the best safaris are not just about four-legged animals, but winged ones too. In the afternoon, we’ll jump back into our 4WDs for another game drive, returning for a memorable dinner served al fresco in the bush.

  7. 7

    Qwabi Private Game Reserve

    It’s all about the safari today, as we head out on two game drives in the early morning and afternoon. Now experienced in the art of game viewing, we’ll keep our eyes peeled for rare species like white-backed night herons, aardvarks, and brown hyenas, as well as any of the prized Big Five that have eluded us so far. Tonight, we’ll toast our adventures over a farewell meal and share our favourite moments and stories with newfound friends.

  8. 8

    Qwabi Private Game Reserve - Johannesburg - In flight

    Time to tick off those last few sightings on one final game drive before breakfast, after which you'll say goodbye to your tour group for your onward travel.

Travel at 60 Social Getaways

Travel further when you're not travelling alone

Our Social Getaways are small-group holidays designed especially for over-60s Australians who want the freedom of a great trip without the work of planning every detail. A Travel at 60 host travels with the group, the operator handles the logistics, and you get to focus on the bit that matters — the people, the places, and the stories you'll bring home.

Open to solo travellers too. Many of our travellers book on their own and find their feet quickly in a friendly group of like-minded Australians. Reduced single-supplement options are available on most departures — ask one of our consultants and we'll talk you through what's offered on this trip.

  • A friendly Travel at 60 host — an Australian face on the ground, looking out for the group from day one.
  • Curated local guides & boutique suppliers — the same operators we'd book for our own families.
  • Real itineraries, not whirlwind tours — comfortable transfers, breathing room, and the “off the beaten track” stops the big bus tours skip.

Want to talk it through? Call 1300 414 198 7 days a week, Queensland time, and one of our consultants will walk you through it.
