Exhilarating South Africa

South Africa has an exciting fusion of exquisite nature, adventure, exotic traditions and cosmopolitan cities. It's a friendly destination that offers great value for money and unforgettable experiences. With incredible diversity as South Africa has to offer it is vital to see most of the country, from the Cape Point tip inwards. It is roughly the size of Germany, France and Italy put together and has a 3000km long coastline.


Big 5 safaris, whales-, dolphins- and bird watching are popular draw cards.

For hikers trails include those through Table Mountain, the Drakensberg and the Magaliesberg where you get close and personal with indigenous fauna and lesser seen birds and animals. The panoramas from these hikes are spectacular and it is often possible to sleep over in huts built for hikers on the most remote sites.

Traditional villages are another treat as they are vibrantly busy yet time seems to stand still as the living here seems more simple.

The 8 National Botanical Gardens are key to understanding the botanical make-up, are all unique and stunning, visitor and wheelchair-friendly. They are often host to symphony concerts and art exhibitions - so make sure to enquire.

For the adventurous there is bungy jumping, paragliding, abseiling, canoeing, white water rafting and much more.
The country offers sophisticated world-class accommodation, shopping, eateries and entertainment.
