We have highlighted a couple of our finest trips in South Africa. As we continue to develop our website and expand our trips, you will see more of them listed. If you have questions or would like information on a specific locale, please contact us.

John X Safaris was founded in 1993 by Rick and Sue van Zijl. Their original camp was at Merriman, in the Great Karoo of the Cape Province, which lies in the central region of South Africa. Within a few years, they expanded into the Eastern Cape and hired a spike camp in the Kirkwood district, where they were the first to develop trophy hunting along the coastal areas of the region.

This private game reserve's location in the Eastern Cape means that it is not only malaria free, but spans 4 ecosystems (valley bushveld, grassland, fynbos and riverine forest), resulting in a breathtaking diversity of plants, animals and birds. Lalibela brings you the charm of authentic Africa and is a perfect blend of the formal and informal. Lalibela has two 4-star lodges - Lentaba Lodge and Mark's Camp - both offering service of the highest standard, world class cuisine and unforgettable game viewing.
