South Africa Safari
A world in one country
One of the world’s most diverse travel destinations, South Africa blends big experience with the best logistics. The result is an unforgettable holiday for any kind of traveller at any time of year.
South African Safaris Made Easy
Honeymooners and romantics can look forward to exquisite lodges and boutique hotels; families will have days packed with activities; wildlife watchers sit back to epic game viewing. Accommodation ranges from the best there is to just like home. And everyone will enjoy South Africa’s famous mix of old-school hospitality and modern-world infrastructure. Join a tour, package your own or hire a car and do it your way – you’ll find the people friendly and the food fabulous.
Two stand-out destinations – Cape Town and the Sabi Sands (a private Big 5 reserve that adjoins the Kruger National Park) – feature on most South Africa holiday itineraries.They are easily combined, offering the traveller some of Africa’s best game viewing plus all the attractions of ‘The Mother City’ – Table Mountain, Cape Point, Boulders Beach Penguin Colony and the Cape Winelands.
It’s also easy to get around and enrich your holiday – South Africa is a destination with many add-on experiences. The Whale Coast – home to amazing whale watching in spring – lies close to Cape Town. Further along the Cape coast, the family-friendly Garden Route beckons. A long lazy stretch of beaches and forests, the Garden Route is ideal for a self-drive adventure, especially as it ends where malaria-free Big 5 game reserves begin.
A short domestic flight gives you access to South Africa’s other holiday hotspots. Families with children will love the thrills and spills of super-resort Sun City and its nearby malaria-free game reserves. Travellers looking off the beaten track are sure to love the wildlife-rich KwaZulu Natal wilderness and its tropical beaches.
Make it a regional flight and you’ll turn your holiday into a Grand Tour. Fly from Cape Town and Johannesburg to iconic African destinations such as Victoria Falls and Botswana, or hit the dazzling beaches of the Indian Ocean on a hideaway Mozambican island.
