South Africa

Safari, wine, ocean and mountains in one destination

South Africa is Africa's most versatile country. A place where you can see the Big Five in the morning, lunch at a world-class winery and dine overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. All in the same day.

There are countries that do one thing well. South Africa does many, and all exceptionally. It's the only place in Africa where you can combine top-tier safari with fine dining, centuries-old vineyards, vibrant cities and breathtaking coastal landscapes. And all with infrastructure that makes travel smooth and comfortable. The private reserves of Greater Kruger offer luxury safari without the crowds of the public park. Sabi Sands, Timbavati, Thornybush: names that guarantee close encounters with leopards, lions and all African wildlife. For those travelling with young children or preferring to avoid malaria, the Eastern Cape offers excellent alternatives in reserves like Shamwari or Kwandwe. But South Africa is much more than safari. Cape Town rivals the world's most beautiful cities. The Winelands produce wines that compete with France's finest. The Garden Route winds between mountains and ocean. And the KwaZulu-Natal coast offers beaches, diving and whale watching. It's a country that allows designing trips as varied as the travellers who take them.
