South Africa

Three holidays in one country.

Overview

South Africa is one of those rare destinations where one trip can deliver a world-class city, a wildlife safari, and a coastal road trip. Most clients combine three to four nights in Cape Town with Table Mountain, the Cape Peninsula, and the Cape Winelands; a few nights on the Garden Route; and finish with a Big-Five safari at Kruger or a private reserve like Sabi Sands. The infrastructure is excellent, the value is strong against most home currencies, and English is spoken everywhere.

Who it's for

Multi-centre travellers, photographers, foodies and wine lovers, families with teens, and self-drive holidaymakers.

Best time to visit

May to October for safari (dry winter — best game viewing). November to April for the Cape and Garden Route (warm summer). The shoulder seasons (March/April and October) often give you both.
