More about South Africa
Cape Town is a natural starting point for discovering the rest of the country. South Africa's landscapes change dramatically from one region to the next.
The pages below are destination inspiration rather than packages we currently sell. If any of these regions interest you, talk to us and we will discuss what might be possible alongside your Cape holiday.
Safari landscapes and wildlife
North-east of the country, the lowveld bushveld around the Kruger area and the private reserves beside it are home to elephant, lion, leopard, rhino and buffalo, along with exceptional birdlife. Malaria-free reserves elsewhere in the country make wildlife accessible at other times of year.
The tropical Indian Ocean coast
KwaZulu-Natal's warm-water coastline runs from Durban north to the Mozambique border, with long beaches, coral reefs, estuaries and the wetlands of iSimangaliso. The sea is warm enough to swim year-round.
The Drakensberg
South Africa's highest mountains form a dramatic basalt escarpment along the Lesotho border, with high grassland passes, amphitheatre cliffs, waterfalls and thousands of San rock-art sites. Classic high-altitude walking country.
Northern Cape deserts
Vast, quiet, sparsely populated country: the red dunes of the Kalahari, the Richtersveld's mountain desert, the Orange River, extraordinary night skies and, after good winter rain, the spring wildflowers of Namaqualand.
Zululand's landscapes and cultural heritage
Rolling hills, game reserves such as Hluhluwe-iMfolozi, and a deep cultural and historical landscape, including the battlefields and living Zulu traditions of the region.
Draft destination text for review. Photography for these regions is still to be supplied.
