Escape to the Bush
Special discounted rates to handpicked Big Five lodges across South Africa, with honest advice from consultants with expert knowledge of the reserves.
Special SA residents rates at Top Game Lodges
Bushscapes specialize in giving South Africans the chance to experience many of the country's top Big 5 game lodges that would otherwise be unaffordable, by selling special discounted rates that are offered exclusively to SA residents, most often on a last-minute basis where lodges offer unsold rooms at significant discounts.
This Bushscapes website is designed to show you all these special offers, as well as loads of useful and relevant information so often lacking on other websites – you'll find our personal opinions and plenty of images, enabling you to choose the lodge that's right for you. So call us next time you fancy escaping to the bush!
