Africa

With stunning natural landscapes, vibrant cities and exotic wildlife, South Africa is the perfect place for an adventure.

Wildlife is central to any holiday in South Africa. Visitors flock to go on Safari in search of the legendary ‘Big Five’ - lion, leopard, rhinoceros, elephant, and buffalo.

The waters surrounding South Africa are a hit with marine life enthusiasts too, with vividly coloured fish, whales, dolphins and diminutive African penguins. For those brave enough, you can get daringly close to the voracious and predatory great white shark on a cage diving experience.

Away from the wildlife, visitors can discover Cape Town and take a cable car to the top of Table Mountain, hike to the peak of Lion’s Head or visit Robben Island and see the prison where Nelson Mandela was held, or visit the museum dedicated to his life.

Perhaps you’d prefer the bustling metropolis of Johannesburg with its trendy bars and restaurants, stylish shopping malls, and contemporary African art galleries.

Why not explore the pin-striped vineyards in the Cape Winelands where you can sip Chenin Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon and the exclusive South African Pinotage.

You could drive the famous Garden Route in your own 4x4. With 200 miles of stunning scenery including lagoons, forests, lakes, beautiful beaches and peppered with colourful African towns and villages, this is one of the most photogenic road trips in the world.

South Africa offers luxury five-star hotels, elegant game lodges and stylish tented safari camps. There are also plenty of inns and self catering accommodation for the more budget conscious traveller.

Whatever you’re looking for, our Travel Experts will ensure that your South Africa holiday is everything you want, and more.
