SOUTH AFRICA
South Africa offers it all….beach, bush and everything in between. Home to the Big 5, some of the worlds top wine farms as well as kilometers of coastline, country retreats and a vibrant culture, South Africa has something for everyone. It is also one of the most economical African countries to travel within due to a very good infrastructure and road network making it also a very popular destination for self drive journeys. It is possible to drive all the way from the very Southern Most Tip all the way up to the borders of our neighbouring countries traversing everything from deserts to forests. Due to its huge variety of landscapes and accommodation, it really is suitable for absolutely anyone ranging from families to honeymooners.
TOP EXPERIENCES
TOP AREAS TO VISIT
CAPE TOWN
Cape Town has been voted The Most Beautiful City in the World more than once and the best part of it is that it is a very accessible city and it can be visited on any budget. It is famed for its diversity of culture as well as its cosmopolitan feel. There is so much to do in this city from dining at top restaurants to climbing mountains, lying on beaches and drinking some of the world's best wine.
BEST TIME TO TRAVEL
South Africa has different areas which are better at different times. If you want to go on safari then peak season is South Africa's dry time between April – October before the rains arrive. If you want to go to the beach, then Cape Town and the Garden Route is best during summer between October and April each year. The beaches around Kwazulu Natal can still be visited in the winter season so if you want to go to the beach after your safari, Kwazulu Natal would be the best place to combine it with or you can fly out of South Africa and go to either Mozambique or Mauritius. Lake Malawi is a good inland fresh water alternative to combine with a safari in the winter months.
