Glatt Safaris Extends Kosher Safari Circuit Across Four African Countries

Glatt Safaris has drawn fresh attention to the standard of Kosher catering that underpins its safari programmes, as July marks the heart of Africa's dry season and one of the finest windows of the year for game viewing across the region.

With clear skies, thinning bush and animals gathering around shrinking water sources, the mid-winter months in the Southern Hemisphere are widely regarded as prime safari time, and the company is reminding observant Jewish travellers that they can experience it without compromising on religious observance.

Kosher Safari Experience

At the centre of the company's offering is a Kosher Safari experience built around fully supervised catering.

Every itinerary travels with a first-class chef and kitchen team accompanied by a mashgiach, the Kosher supervisor responsible for ensuring that food preparation meets religious requirements at every stage.

Three freshly prepared meals are served each day, supplemented by roadside snacks between destinations, and the catering carries Kosher le'mehadrin certification approved by the Badatz of Cape Town.

For families and groups who normally find it difficult to travel far from established Kosher infrastructure, this level of supervision is what makes an African adventure possible.

Safari Options

The company designs its Kosher Safaris around several tracks so that travellers can match the trip to their interests and budget.

The Gold Track is the flagship luxury route, taking in helicopter flights over Victoria Falls, time in Kruger National Park, Table Mountain in Cape Town and other signature experiences.

The Silver Track focuses on the classic South African highlights, including the big five in Kruger National Park, the Cape winelands, whale watching along the coast, the African penguin colonies and the Cape of Good Hope.

For those who want something entirely their own, private tours are built to individual specifications, allowing groups to shape the pace, the destinations and the balance between wildlife and sightseeing.

Multi-Country Itineraries

Geographically, the reach of a Glatt Safaris trip extends well beyond a single country.

Itineraries span South Africa and East Africa and can take in Zambia, Zimbabwe and Botswana, linking iconic destinations such as Victoria Falls with the great game reserves of the wider region.

This multi-country approach means a single journey can combine dramatic landscapes, waterways and wildlife that would otherwise require several separate trips, all held together under one continuous chain of Kosher supervision.

Religious Provisions

The appeal of a well-organised Kosher Tour lies in the removal of the logistical worry that usually accompanies observant travel.

Alongside the catering, Glatt Safaris arranges religious services, including minyanim and Shabbat provisions, so that the rhythm of the week is preserved even in remote locations.

The result is a holiday where the practical questions of what to eat, where to pray and how to keep Shabbat are handled in advance, leaving guests free to focus on the experience itself.

Why July Matters for Safari Travel

The timing of the current season is not incidental.

During the Southern African winter, rainfall is low, vegetation dies back and daytime temperatures are comfortable for long hours in the field.

Animals concentrate around rivers and waterholes, which improves the chances of memorable sightings, and the reduced foliage makes wildlife easier to spot.

For international visitors travelling from the Northern Hemisphere summer, it is also an opportunity to swap the season and experience Africa at one of its most rewarding times.

Glatt Safaris is positioning its winter itineraries accordingly, encouraging early enquiries from families planning around school breaks and community groups organising travel together.

International Presence

The company operates from Johannesburg in South Africa, with additional offices in New York, London and Jerusalem, reflecting the international community it serves.

That footprint allows it to coordinate travellers from several countries into shared itineraries and to handle enquiries across different time zones.

For observant travellers who have long viewed a full African safari as out of reach, the combination of supervised catering, religious provisions and multi-country routing is designed to make the experience both accessible and authentic.
