South Africa

South Africa is undoubtedly a top African safari destination. With its year-round sunshine, countless world-famous game parks teeming with wildlife, (the most well known being the Kruger National Park), dramatic landscapes and acres of pristine, white beaches, (such as the spectacular Garden Route), and a fascinating and diverse people and culture, (cosmoplitan Cape Town is a must), a South Africa safari is an experience second-to-none.

South Africa is well endowed with a wide variety of experiences to explore. From watching the big five in one of the world’s biggest national parks to enjoying a relaxing time at our blue flag beaches to surfing at some of the world’s best super tubes. You can choose to sift through our unmatched cultural and wine routes or you can opt to learn a lot through our world heritage sites. You can watch whales doing acrobatics at the world’s whale watching capital or come up close and personal with the great whites or simply take part in any of the endless adrenalin pumping adventure sports that we offer in the air, sea or on land. All this while staying in some of the world class hotels or simply living in our equally comfortable award winning alternative accommodation.

To pick the very best out of an array of South African experiences is almost impossible but we did come up with a selection of our favourite top South African experiences and people.

Garden Route

The Garden Route region runs along a scenic stretch of coastline beginning in Cape Town and ending in Port Elizabeth, a small coastal city on South Africa's south east coast.. The region has become South Africa's most popular tourist destination after Cape Town, and it's not hard to see why. Visitors are drawn year-round to its indigenous forests, freshwater lakes, wetlands, hidden coves and long beaches. The narrow coastal plain is well forested and is mostly bordered by extensive lagoons that run behind a barrier of sand dunes and superb white beaches. The region has some of the largest patches of indigenous forest in the country - giant yellowwood trees and wildflowers - as well as commercial plantations of eucalyptus and pine.

Cape town & the wine country
