From the big game viewing in Kruger National Park, the pretty Winelands and cosmopolitan Cape Town to the dramatic Garden Route and the atmospheric battlefields, South Africa’s variety is thoroughly beguiling.
It goes without saying that, being home to some of Africa’s biggest and best national parks, South Africa is the ideal destination for a safari holiday. Its host of wildlife reserves are the perfect place to go in search of the so-called ‘Big Five’: lion, leopard, black rhino, elephant and Cape buffalo. Spectacular scenery combines with fantastic accommodation and expert guides to offer you the ultimate safari experience. We’re also able to cater for a variety of different safari styles depending on your preferences, from walking safaris to 4x4 tours, staying in anything from simple campsites to luxury lodges.
If a safari holiday isn’t for you, South Africa has plenty more to offer. How about a self-drive trip along the famous Garden Route, a particularly picturesque 300km stretch of South Africa’s dramatic coastline? Whether it’s hiking through the atmospheric Tsitsikamma Forest and along majestic coastal footpaths, sampling delicious oysters in Kynsna or whale watching at the De Hoop Nature Reserve, this spectacular part of South Africa is unmissable.
Those with an interest in history should head to South Africa’s Battlefields, on which the Anglo-Zulu battles of the Zulu and Boer Wars are brought vividly to life by expert local guides. This atmospheric and informative experience can be combined with other activities, such as horse riding and fishing, to make the most of your time in this spectacular part of the world.
No trip to South Africa would be complete without a trip to Cape Town, which is dominated by the iconic Table Mountain. Other memorable Cape Town sights include the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront, with its cable car offering views of Robben Island, on which Nelson Mandela was imprisoned. Further afield, the award-winning vineyards and pretty towns of the Winelands region make a pleasant excursion to the north of Cape Town, while the East coast offers superb whale watching opportunities. To the south you’ll find the legendary Cape of Good Hope, with its dramatically situated lighthouse.
