Glatt Safaris Brings Gourmet Kosher Travel to Africa’s Winter Safari Season

Glatt Safaris opens its Glatt Kosher gourmet African safari and holiday tour packages across South Africa and East Africa as the southern winter ushers in peak dry-season game viewing in June 2026.

Glatt Safaris is welcoming travellers into the heart of the southern African winter, the time of year when the bush thins out, water becomes scarce, and wildlife gathers in the open where it is easiest to see.

As June 2026 settles over the region, the operator is offering its Glatt Kosher gourmet African safari and holiday tour packages across South Africa and East Africa, pairing classic game viewing with full Kosher catering and observant travel arrangements.

The company sums up its approach in a single line on its website: explore Africa like a mensch, with gourmet Kosher food and no compromise on quality or price.

Why The Timing Matters

The timing matters.

Winter in southern Africa is the dry season, and the dry season is when a safari rewards visitors most reliably.

Grass dies back, leaves fall, and the animals that spend the wet months scattered across a green landscape are drawn to the remaining rivers and waterholes.

For anyone planning a Kosher Safari, the months around June offer some of the clearest sightlines of the year, milder daytime temperatures for long drives, and far fewer mosquitoes than the summer.

Glatt Safaris is building its current packages around exactly this window.

What The Packages Include

The operator structures its offering into three main tracks.

The Gold Track is positioned as a once in a lifetime itinerary and brings together marquee experiences such as helicopter flights over Victoria Falls, elephant encounters, Table Mountain, and time in the Kruger National Park.

The Silver Track centres on the Kruger and its big five alongside the Cape, taking in the Cape Winelands route, Table Mountain, whale watching, African penguins, and the Cape of Good Hope.

For travellers who want something shaped entirely around their own group, the Private Tours track is fully customisable, designed uniquely for each client from the ground up.

Destinations span South Africa and East Africa, with the wider itineraries reaching into neighbouring Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Botswana.

That geographic spread lets a single trip move from the savannah of the Kruger to the spray of Victoria Falls and on to the coastline and mountains of the Cape, all within one organised programme.

Glatt Safaris notes that its itineraries include VIP assistance at border crossings, experienced local guides, and helicopter transport options on the premium track, so that the logistics of moving between countries and regions are handled rather than left to the traveller.

Kosher Catering Without Compromise

What sets the company apart is that observance is built into the trip rather than bolted on.

Glatt Safaris provides gourmet Kosher food with three Kosher le’mehadrin meals a day, prepared by first-class chefs and overseen by a mashgiach, under the approval of the Badatz Cape Town.

As the company puts it, travellers can forget shlepping canned food because of kashrut worries.

The catering runs the length of the itinerary, in the bush and in the cities alike, so that a day of game viewing ends with a proper hot meal rather than a compromise.

The religious side of the experience extends beyond the kitchen.

The packages make provision for minyanim, a Shabbat atmosphere, and kiddush wine, so that a group can keep to its routine while travelling far from home.

The company describes its role plainly: it takes care of everything.

For a Kosher Tour, that combination of catering, davening arrangements, and Shabbat planning is the difference between a trip that works for an observant family and one that does not.

Where Guests Stay

Accommodation is pitched at Western standards of luxury, with stays at some of South Africa’s finest four and five star hotels alongside private reserves and VIP retreats.

The intention is that the comfort of the lodging matches the quality of the catering, and that guests move between high-end city hotels and exclusive bush properties without a drop in standard.

The company prices its trips on an all-inclusive basis, which keeps the cost of meals, lodging, guiding, and transfers inside a single arrangement rather than spread across a string of separate bookings.

Who It Serves

Glatt Safaris describes its market directly as private and group Kosher vacation tours for the frum traveller.

That covers families who want to travel together over a holiday period, groups organising a shared trip, and individuals who want a fully managed itinerary with the religious side already arranged.

Because the Private Tours track is built to order, the same operator can run an intimate family safari or a larger group programme without changing its core promise of full Kosher provision and managed logistics.

Why A Winter Trip Reads Differently This Year

For observant travellers weighing where to go, the appeal of a southern African winter safari is practical as much as scenic.

The dry-season conditions that make June through the following months strong for game viewing also coincide with comfortable touring weather across the Kruger and the Cape.

A group can combine a stretch of wildlife viewing with the coastal and mountain attractions around Cape Town in a single journey, and do it during the months when the bush is at its most rewarding.

Demand for Kosher Safaris tends to concentrate around school holidays and the festival calendar, and the winter window gives families a clear seasonal reason to plan ahead rather than leave a trip to chance.

The broader market for Kosher travel has grown as more observant travellers look for destinations beyond the familiar, and Africa has become one of those destinations precisely because the obstacles, namely catering, kashrut supervision, and Shabbat arrangements, can now be handled end to end by a specialist operator.

Glatt Safaris sits in that space, combining the wildlife and landscape that draw visitors to the region with the catering and religious infrastructure that an observant group needs in order to travel comfortably.

Plan A Trip

With the dry season now underway, Glatt Safaris is encouraging travellers to look at its tracks and itineraries and to begin shaping a trip around the winter game-viewing window.
