Does Sun Destinations operate as a tour operator or a booking platform?

Sun Destinations is a marketing and representation company that acts on behalf of each property as a centralised reservations office. We work closely with travel agents, DMC’s and our direct guests to make booking easy and transparent.
How do I book a safari with Sun Destinations?
Booking is simple. You can enquire directly through our website, via email at reservations@sundestinations.co.za, or through your preferred travel agent. Our Reservations team will guide you through availability, booking suggestions, itinerary creation, and any special requests to ensure your safari experience is tailored to you.
Can Sun Destinations help me combine multiple lodges into one itinerary?
Absolutely. Many travellers choose to combine different properties within our Collection to experience contrasting landscapes, unique properties and different safari styles. Our Team can recommend ideal lodge pairings, assist with transfers and build seamless journeys across the Greater Kruger, Botswana and beyond.
