South Africa


South Africa is one of the world’s most inspiring and diverse destinations, offering some of the best safari opportunities in the world, a host of dynamic, cosmopolitan cities and breathtaking scenery from the open savannah to its long, surf swept coast.


Cape Town is unmissable, with its fascinating culture and unparalleled location dominated by the buzzing V&A Waterfront and Table Mountain, a great city to start your discovery. Less than an hour’s drive inland is the Winelands, an area of outstanding natural beauty, combining lush rolling hills with rugged mountain scenery. Dotted with boutique wine cellars, you can sample fine vintages at source and match your choices with the region’s celebrated cuisine.


The Garden Route stretches eastwards along the coast, where forests tumble down to sandy, cliff framed beaches, leading to the malaria-free game reserves of the Eastern Cape. Travelling further east you’ll find the port city of Durban, gateway to Kwazulu Natal, also known as Kingdom of the Zulus, home to more ‘Big Five’ game reserves. To the north lies Johannesburg, a bustling metropolis and ideal base to cross into the expansive Kruger National Park, excellent for game viewing. A safari in South Africa is an unforgettable experience. Rise early to head out on a dawn game drive, escorted by expert rangers and trackers, to witness the Big Five – elephant, lion, leopard, buffalo and rhino. At dusk, come face to face with giraffes and great herds of zebra making their way to remote waterholes as the sun sets slowly over the plains.
