SOUTH AFRICA
WHY TRAVEL HERE?

The ‘Rainbow Nation’ is a magnet for travellers for many reasons. Cape Town is widely regarded as one of the top tourist capitals in the world, with its scenic mountains, world-class winelands and restaurants, great range of beaches and a myriad of activities, like whale watching, to enjoy.

​

The Kruger National Park tops the ‘Big Five’ parks in South Africa for superb game viewing and is easily accessible by regular scheduled & private charter flights. The Drakensberg offer spectacular mountain scenery, hiking and San/Bushman rock art, while the country has a vast choice of top beaches along the Garden Route, Eastern Cape & the Maputaland Marine Reserve several hours north of Durban in the Isimangaliso (formerly St Lucia) Wetland Park.

​

Having eight World Heritage Sites in its fold, South Africa also enjoys, on average, 50 sunny hours per week, and has excellent world-class facilities in terms of lodges & hotels, competitive car hire and well-kept roads to self-drive, in addition to a well-priced network of internal flights to most major cities & hot spots like Kruger NP .
