Reasons To
Visit South Africa

  • Self Drive

    The most economical and by far the most popular way to experience South Africa is on a self drive. The roads are good, traffic tends to be light and driving is on the left.

  • Wine Tasting

    Within easy driving distance of Cape Town, the valleys of Paarl, Stellenbosch and Franschhoek have become known as 'The Winelands'. Here you can admire the manicured rows of green and russet vines and even stop to sample the local tipple.

  • Cape Town

    Cape Town – one of the world’s great cities, Cape Town has excellent accommodation, is easy to explore and is the gateway to the Wine Regions and Garden Route. Cape Town is an ideal place to start your trip around South Africa.

  • Whale Watching

    Hermanus and Walker Bay, near Cape Town, are perhaps the best places in the world to spot whales from the shore (Jun-Dec). Whale watching trips from boats are also popular in South Africa.

  • Battlefields

    Learn how Ghandi, Paul Kruger and Winston Churchill were all involved in the battle of Spioenkop, during the Boer War, or how a hundred British soldiers held off some 4,000 Zulus at Rorke’s Drift, and how nearly 1,800 were killed a few hours earlier at the battle of Isandlwana.

Grootbos Private Nature Reserve

The Whale Coast, The Cape Region & Winelands

Located just south of Hermanus, Grootbos is part rustic lodge, part scientific research centre, involved in preserving the remarkable flora and fauna of the region and sharing its mysteries with guests.

Built on a hillside overlooking the bay, amidst milkwood forest and resurgent fynbos, the lodge is a base for guided explorations of the countryside and shoreline.

Accommodation at the lodge is in very large cottages, which offer simple, modern comfort with African and Scandinavian influences.

Qualified guides are on hand to tour the private reserve by vehicle, while horseback riders are catered for with the estate’s own stables. Boat trips are also available, to discover the coastal seabirds and marine mammals.
