CURATING WORLD CLASS DENTISTRY AND UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCES
About Us
We believe in more than just perfecting your smile, we believe in transforming your dental care journey into an unforgettable experience.
As a premier UK dental tourism company, we have partnered with leading global service providers to offer you a unique combination of world-class dental treatments and luxurious travel adventures to South Africa.
Welcome to Dental Spas and Safaris – Where Expertise Meets Excellence.
At Dental Spas and Safaris®, we proudly represent a handpicked selection of world-class South African dental clinics. These clinics are owned and operated by esteemed members of the South African Academy of Aesthetic Dentistry (SAAAD), specialists in both cosmetic and clinical dentistry. Our listed network includes over thirty distinguished professionals, including dentists, periodontists, prosthodontists, orthodontists, endodontists, and oral and maxillofacial surgeons—all at the forefront of their fields and fluent in English. Our specialists don’t just qualify - they lead. Many are internationally recognised experts, known for their advanced skills, cutting-edge techniques, and thousands of impeccable results. Some even lecture master clinicians around the world, including in the UK, USA, Australia, and Europe. Whether you’re seeking the ultimate in cosmetic dentistry or complex surgical care that even some of the UK’s dentists might hesitate to perform, our clinics guarantee diamond-standard treatments using only high-quality, EU-approved components that set new benchmarks in dental tourism. And while we offer world-class expertise and cutting-edge results, we also ensure exceptional value for money, providing top-tier treatments at a reduced cost compared to the UK—without compromising on quality or safety. Supported by some of the UK’s leading dental clinics for effective pre- and post-care on UK soil, Dental Spas and Safaris® offers a unique opportunity to achieve your perfect smile while also experiencing the natural beauty and rich culture of South Africa. Choose from a wide range of luxury experiences and varied accommodations, benefit from specialist medical tourism insurance, and enjoy 24/7 personalised ground support from the moment you land. With over 80 dedicated professional staff, and all services provided by licensed and approved providers, we ensure your every comfort. You’ll also have access to world-class private healthcare to address any eventuality, along with flexible payment terms from some of the UK's major lenders, making this lifelong investment more affordable and accessible, offering easy instalments ranging from 6 to 120 months. Dental Spas and Safaris®, a division and brand of Skybridge Trading Ltd, are proud members of the London Chamber of Commerce & Industry.
Our team of internationally acclaimed dentists are 100% fluent in English and include some of the world’s best, many of whom are registered and have thrived in practices across the UK, the USA, Europe, Australia, and South Africa.
They have since been welcoming UK and international patients for many years, including TV personalities, celebrities and esteemed members of royal families. Each clinician ensures that you will receive the highest quality care and results.
From your initial free consultation, where your ideal choice of South African practice and doctors will listen to and understand your unique needs and goals, to visiting one of over 600 UK dentists closest to you for imaging (X-rays, 2D/3D or CT scans) prior to travel, right through to submitting a detailed cost estimate for your review, final approval, treatment and post-care.
We offer a personalised approach tailored to every aspect of your dental journey. Our teams meticulously consider every detail to ensure your peace of mind and complete comfort throughout your experience with us
Our approved clinicians in South Africa use the same high-quality components and materials as many leading UK dental clinics, sourced from the same top dental manufacturers, to ensure excellent post-care and continuity back in the UK.
Treatments and procedures in South Africa are more affordable due to lower -operating costs, staff salaries, rent, insurance, and taxes, as well as a favorable exchange rate, where one British Pound (GBP) is approximately 23.5 times stronger than the South African Rand (ZAR).
For instance, 2024 statistics show that the minimum wage in the UK is about £11.44 per hour, while in South Africa, it is just £1.44 per hour. This disparity partly explains why, as of August 2024, a 2L bottle of Coca-Cola Zero Sugar was 84% cheaper in South Africa, and a McDonald’s Big Mac was 125% cheaper, a packet of Benson & Hedges Cigarettes (20’s) was five times cheaper, and the average salary in the UK is more than 2.5 times higher.
While some Eastern European and emerging market countries are known for offering cheap prices because they offer and manufacture their own cheap components, the affordability of treatments by our approved clinics in South Africa compared to the UK stems primarily from savings on operational costs, taxes, and a favorable exchange rate—never a compromise on quality.
This allows UK residents to benefit from Dental Spas and Safaris, offering premium dental care combined with top-tier services and luxurious travel experiences, all at exceptional value and a more accessible price. In fact, what might afford an average practitioner in the UK would secure one of the world’s best in South Africa.
We have teamed up with leading service providers in the UK and South Africa to ensure each one of our clients embarks on their journey with absolute confidence, prioritising peace of mind and comfort at every step.
In collaboration with renowned dental clinics across the UK with over 600 locations for pre-travel imaging to choose from, and South Africa for exceptional dental treatment, we ensure seamless coordination for all your pre- and post-procedure needs.
