South Africa arguably offers some of the best safari in the whole of Africa. One of the best ways to enjoy a safari is in one of the many private reserves of the Greater Kruger Park, or one of the lesser known areas in the north.

The Northern Cape is the most sparsely populated province of South Africa which encompasses in the west Namaqualand, famous for its spring flowers, while in the east the vast desert of red sand looms the Kalahari, famous for its black-maned lions. At its furthest point lies the Cederberg Mountains which is one of the last havens of the Bushmen, or San, and their prolific rock-art.

The Wild Coast is arguably the most attractive region in South Africa. Little touched by tourism it stretches from East London up to the KwaZulu-Natal border. It's an area of lush tropical forest hugging river valleys whose estuaries spill into lagoons behind white sandy beaches. There are ample opportunities for fishing, swimming, birdwatching, watersports and learning about the local Xhosa culture.
