SOUTH AFRICA
LOOKING FOR DIVERSITY IN A DESTINATION? HERE IT IS!
Kruger National Park
Famed for its Big Five sightings and luxurious lodges, this is a classic all-round game reserve, the Kruger National Park is a vast and iconic game reserve.
The park spans nearly 20,000 square kilometers (7,576 square miles) and extends 360 kilometers (220 miles) from north to south and 65 kilometers (40 miles) from east to west, covering parts of the provinces of Limpopo and Mpumalanga, running along the national border with Mozambique.
If you dream of seeing Africa’s iconic wildlife in its natural habitat, Kruger National Park is the place for you. The park is home to an impressive number of species, including over 500 bird species recorded and, well over 100 different 47 mammals.
​
The national park is made up of a large number of rest camps, which allow for exciting self-drive explorations, however, there are also many spectacular private game reserves, offering the benefit of the guidance and knowledge of a private guide, and some outstanding accommodation options.

Cape Town is, quite simply, one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Rising up behind the city bowl is unmistakable Table Mountain, a source of beautiful views and endless hiking opportunities. Pound the quirky streets of the city centre for boutique shops, respected galleries and delectable restaurants, or peruse the V&A Waterfront for food with a view. More of a sand-between-your-toes sort of person? Head for the golden beaches of Clifton and Camps Bay, or south along the peninsula to Simonstown, with its naval history and boulders beach for its friendly Cape Fur penguins. Add gorgeous sunshine and welcoming people and you’ve got yourself a pretty spectacular holiday destination! And that's not even all! Only an hour's drive from Cape Town you have the stunning Cape Winelands, offering some of the best wines in the world, accompanied by some of the best cuisine and stunning views.
The Cape Winelands
Glorious views combined with some of the best restaurants and vineyards in the world.
A trip to the Western Cape is not complete without a jaunt through the Cape Winelands. The only problem you may have is choosing where to go and which of the hundreds of truly fabulous options to choose! Closest to Cape Town is the Constantia Wine Route, encompassing nine farms in the beautiful southern suburb of Constantia. Venture further out to Stellenbosch for some of the oldest Cape Dutch farms and working vineyards in the region, or to the quaint, French settler town of Franschhoek for glitzy vineyards and mouthwatering cuisine.
The KwaZulu Natal & The Drakensberg
South Africa for Culture Vultures, Bird Watchers, Wildlife Enthusiasts, Walkers, Climbers and Fishermen. We could go on. Often overlooked by first-time visitors to South Africa, The Kwa-Zulu-Natal region has so much to offer.
With the 200-kilometre sweep of jagged edges, sweeping table tops and tumbling buttresses along the border between South Africa and Lesotho, the Drakensberg is quite possibly the mountain range to end all mountain ranges. The peaks offer every excitement, from serious hiking and hairpin drives (Sani Pass, we’re looking at you) to gentle walks through forested glades, and even a spot of culture – there are thought to be 25,000-plus Bushmen paintings hidden in these rocks. In the foothills are the rolling KwaZulu-Natal Midlands and the Royal Natal National Park, an addictively chilled-out sort of place where you can climb, ride horseback, fish and watch wildlife to your heart’s content.
The KwaZulu Natal Battlefields
At first sight, it’s hard to imagine that the peaceful green hills and valleys were ever home to such violent conflicts between the Boers, Zulus and Brits.
A few hours spent in the company of one of the fascinating guides will reveal the secrets of the Battlefields and the part they played in shaping modern South Africa. This is where the notorious clashes at Blood River took place, and where the catastrophic defeat of the British by the Zulu occurred. The lodges in the area are magnificent and a stay here will immerse you wholly in the history of the country.
