Default Fly in Safaris in South Africa Help??

Hello,

I will be living in Cape Town for 6 months in the spring. I have some people coming to visit me for 10 days. They want to go on a short safari 3-4 nights. I know there are not alot of parks near cape town so we were thinking of doing a fly in safari somewhere. Does anyone have any suggestions on what parks or agents to look under for something along these lines. Or other ideas. The main problem is that these people dont want to spend alot of time driving. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. Also price isnt a huge factor for them but should be reasonable. Thanks

2 thoughts.. buy a Getaway magazine when you get
there and look at the dozens of safari camps.. all of
the ones you might consider have web sites, phone
numbers (of course)... do some homework that way.

PS - how is it you will be in Cape Town for such
a long period? Tourist visas now are for 3 months
only.. if that's what you are using, be prepared
to go out to the airport and have it renewed.
They should do it, with just a simple 'please'
from you.

I have a couple of ideas you may want to consider
