South Africa remains one of the easiest countries to reach despite being at the bottom of Africa. Its wide range of experiences and price points means it has something for everyone.

Rich and turbulent history and culture is evident and very much a part of a South African visit. On the nature front, South Africa has the most endemic biodiversity in Africa. Many different habitats, all with their own suite of species are protected in a variety of national and private parks. Excellent hospitality and accommodation is available throughout, whether on safari, in the cities or at the beach. The most well-known wildlife sites around the Kruger and in Zululand are complemented by many others in the Eastern Cape, Waterberg and Kalahari. The multitude of options mean that revisiting South Africa as a part of any safari is easy and well worth doing – the flights from Cape Town and Johannesburg connect easily to most safari destinations.

Whether it’s a botanical extravaganza, world-class restaurants and wine, multi-day mountain hikes or ocean exploration, there is so much more than a standard safari to do in South Africa.
