South Africa

The rainbow nation. This beautiful and diverse country is a unique amalgamation of cultures which combine to offer any visitor a fascinating mix of colours and flavours. Few countries offer such a stunning variety of landscapes, experiences, cuisines and people, enabling a uniquely contrasting holiday - from safaris to city breaks, beaches to vineyards, and all at incredible value.

	A paradise of warm waters, sun-drenched beaches and eco-wonderlands, KwaZulu-Natal is steeped in history and adventure. From Durban’s bustling gateway of ports, fine dining and first-class shopping to the historic battlefields, this sunny region is fantastic for adventure seekers and discerning travellers.
	The Kruger National Park and surrounding private game reserves is one of Africa’s prime safari destinations, and offers the flexibility of a self-drive safari or the traditional fully guided option. There is a wide range of lodges and camps to choose from, and with direct flights to Cape Town and Johannesburg it is easy to combine with the rest of the country and beyond.
	Buzzing Cape Town, with its jaw-dropping setting under Table Mountain, is a cultural melting-pot. An exciting and cosmopolitan city with a lively nightlife scene, world class restaurants, and historical significance around every corner. From the V&A Waterfront with all its buzz, to the beautiful sandy beaches of Clifton and Camps Bay, Cape Town is simply one of the world’s great cities and a must-visit.
	The nearby Cape Winelands are a beautiful blend of art, nature and decadent food, paired with some of the finest vineyards in the world, and all in a naturally stunning setting. Its classic Cape-Dutch homesteads, mountainous surrounds, grand heritage and award-winning restaurants have earned the Winelands the right to call itself South Africa’s culinary capital.
	The Eastern Cape is home to some of the country’s most varied landscapes, and home to fabulous malaria-free Big Five game reserves which boast an exceptional range of game viewing adventures. The Addo Elephant National Park provides some of the world’s most spectacular elephant viewing; equally sensational is the Shamwari Game Reserve, home to the Born Free Big Cat Rescue and Education Centres, and Kwandwe Private Game Reserve’s pristine wilderness.
