South Africa – Tiger Canyon Photo Safari 2025

At a time to be advised you will check in for your domestic flight to Bloemfontein (flight is exclusive of tour fee). Upon arrival, you will meet your driver and will then road transfer to Tiger Canyon (approximately 2,5 hours drive time). Tiger Canyon is a groundbreaking conservation project dedicated to preserving the critically endangered Bengal Tiger. Set against the unique backdrop plains and mountains in the dry interior of South Africa, Tiger Canyon is home to a growing population of rewilded tigers. After checking in, you will embark on afternoon game drive.

Tiger Canyon is located in the Great Karoo, just 25km from the pastoral town of Philippolis in the Free State Province of South Africa, on the banks of the Van der Kloof Dam.   The beauty of the Karoo occupies a prominent place in the spiritual psyche of South Africa. Many of South Africa's talented artists originate from, or were inspired by the Karoo: the playwright Athol Fugard's Road to Mecca was a study of the famous Nieu-Bethesda artist Helen Martins, while Philippolis was home to world-renowned author Laurens van der Post. It is a place of old folktales inspired by the ancient landscape.   Tiger Canyon arguably boasts the best photographic opportunity of wild tigers in the world. Complemented by a wild and bold landscape, the tigers can be found in a number of striking natural settings ranging from grasslands to rocky crags to verdant reeded dams. The cats are all habituated to game viewing vehicles, which allows you to get close.

At a time to be advised, and after breakfast you will road transfer to Bloemfontein airport for your return flight to Johannesburg, and this is where our journey ends.
