South Africa is one of the most exciting destinations on Earth, with more than 2,500km of dramatic coastline along the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, historic cities, diverse landscapes and a rich variety of flora and fauna. Our South Africa tours are designed to show you the very best of this incredible country.
Heading out on safari in search of the Big Five in world-famous reserves such as Kruger National Park, and coming face-to-face with these magnificent animals in their natural habitat, is a truly magical and unforgettable experience. Along the coast, the Garden Route National Park, Knysna Lagoon and Featherbed Nature Reserve offer more opportunities to spot South Africa’s wildlife.
No South African touring holiday is truly complete without a visit to Cape Town, the nation's most renowned and picturesque city. With the towering Table Mountain as a stunning backdrop and pristine white-sand beaches lining the coast, it's easy to see why Cape Town is such a beloved destination. One beach, Boulders Beach, is especially popular thanks to its resident colony of adorable African penguins.
For food lovers, head over to South Africa's wine region, particularly Stellenbosch and Franschhoek. This area is famous for its lush valleys and vineyards, making it the perfect destination for those looking for top-rated food and wine.

What our experts love about South Africa
A tradition dating back to colonial times, sundowners are slightly more opulent affairs nowadays in comparison. Stopping to watch the sun set from the rawness of the African bush whilst drinks and snacks are served, is a wonderful moment to share with loved ones or ideal for individual contemplation whist you're at one with nature.
What are the best places to visit in South Africa?

Cape Town
Situated right on the southern tip of South Africa, Cape Town has a reputation for not only being one of the most exciting cities in the country, but in the whole of Africa. Among the many attractions you can take in at the coastal city are the Cape of Good Hope, the Kirstenbosch botanical gardens and the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront. With the towering Table Mountain lying in the backdrop of the city, you may want to go on a cable car up to the summit, which - at 3,558 ft above sea level - will provide you with the chance to take in fascinating views of the landscape below.

Kruger National Park
Tours of South Africa provide you with the opportunity to see a wide range of beautiful and exotic creatures thanks to the abundance of national parks and game reserves in the country. A trip to the Kruger National Park is the ultimate South African safari. Not only does the park contain the Big Five - lions, rhinos, leopards, elephants and buffalo - but also zebras, baboons and cheetahs, among others, so there's certainly plenty to see. Ornithologists will also be in their element here, with starlings and kingfishers among the many bird species that can be spotted on a Kruger safari, while the park's river banks are a great place to look for water birds like storks and herons.
