South Africa is often described as the ‘Rainbow Nation’; its many diverse
cultures creating a vibrant weave of history, language, art, music and
lifestyles. Great weather, striking scenery, outstanding wildlife, delicious food
and adventurous activities mean all your senses will be stimulated by all that
South Africa has to offer.
Sitting in the shadows of Table Mountain, Cape Town is high on the list of the
world’s most beautiful cities, and a great place to start any trip to South
Africa. The Winelands and Western Cape region are easily visited from here
as a day tour or as part of a longer journey.
Many visitors will spend four or five days in Cape Town before journeying
through quaint villages and seaside towns along the Garden Route, one of
South Africa’s premier tourist attractions. Sheer cliffs drop down to golden
beaches and crashing waves, providing natural beauty and some of the
world’s best surfing.
Seeing wild animals up close in their natural habitat is thrilling and there are
many ways to experience this in South Africa. The Eastern Cape offers
malaria-free game reserves which attract visitors in search of a safari
experience. Kruger National Park is world renowned for its abundant wildlife
and you can stay within the park or at one of the many lodges and camps in
reserves around the park. The coast also provides opportunities to see wildlife
such as whales, penguins and dolphins.
Durban is known locally as the sunshine state, and for good reason. With
sandy beaches and a year-round warm climate, it is the perfect escape at the
end of any South African adventure.
The many diverse environments and great weather provide ideal conditions to
take part in outdoor activities – South Africa is known as one of the world’s
adventure capitals.
Whether your taste is Afro-chic or authentic Africa you will find great places
to stay, delicious food and a warm African welcome.
