Special Rates for SOUTH AFRICAN Residents
Let's keep it local
There are huge benefits associated with booking a holiday through us at Cycle of Life. The rates with the hotels and safari lodges have already been negotiated, which ensures that the prices you pay will be the best rate possible and therefore highly competitive.
Each property has been carefully selected by us in terms of the new hygiene and safety protocols in connection with Covid19.
Our key focus is on conservation, so a portion of your booking fee will go towards rhino conservation.
