South Africa truly is a world within one country! Its larger than France and Spain combined and stretches from the temperate Cape to the subtropical northern regions bordering with Zimbabwe and Mozambique. In the boundaries of South Africa are some of the world's most breathtaking landscapes; canyons, wildernesses showcasing game and cliffs dropping to the ocean.

 

A destination that exudes a multi-cultural charm that is unrivalled and often misunderstood. Visit the beautiful Cape Winelands, Garden Route Area or the awe-inspiring beaches in Durban and you will soon realise that this African country is not to be forgotten.

 

Take three capital cities, eleven official languages, the most amazing wildlife experiences in the world, cutting edge cuisine using only the freshest of ingredients, the warmest and friendliest of people, and scenery around every corner that will take your breath away. Welcome to South Africa!

 

The Western Cape
Mediterranean in climate, European in culture and African in mood. Cape Town is dominated by the towering shape of Table Mountain, topped with its fleecy table-cloth cloud. The ‘Mother City’ is justifiably famous for its restaurants, graceful hotels, vibrant arts and easy-going atmosphere. Inland, the vineyards that carpet the rolling landscapes of Franschhoek, Paarl and Stellenbosch, liberally sprinkled with Cape Dutch mansions, are easily explored by car. The Garden Route runs east along Africa’s southern coast. Starting in Cape Town, windswept cliffs and sandy bays, sheltered forests and folded mountains are all awaiting exploration.

 

The Northern Cape
Wide open spaces and an amazing coastline, the Northern Cape is waiting to be explored. Home to the ancient San people, the region has a colourful history. Each year the Namaqualand area is transformed by blankets of beautiful flowers covering the hillsides.

 

Eastern Cape
The second largest of South Africa’s nine provinces, the Eastern Cape has something for everyone; see the Big Five in a malarial-free environment, surf the largest waves or bungee jump from the highest bungee bridge in the southern hemisphere.

 

KwaZulu Natal
Known as the Kingdom of the Zulu, KwaZulu Natal is a melting pot of African, European and Indian cultures. This province boasts two World Heritage sites – the Greater St Lucia Wetland Park and the Ukhahlamba Drakensberg Park. Many of the wars that shaped the colonial years took place in the Natal area, battlefields atmospheric in the sub-tropical heat. It is also a province of natural beauty with the coastline harbouring sandy beaches, lagoons and national reserves.

 

Gauteng
Although it is the smallest of the country’s nine provinces, Gauteng is the gateway to Southern Africa. Johannesburg, Soweto and Pretoria create a cosmopolitan, multicultural mix from every corner of the world.

 

Mpumalanga
As well as having the third highest canyon in the world and the world's oldest cave, Mpumalanga is the best place to view wildlife. Kruger National Park, with its large concentration of big cats, is where you will find the ‘Big Five’: lion, leopard, rhino, elephant and buffalo.

 

Limpopo
Named after the great Limpopo River that flows along its northern border, this province is rich in wildlife, spectacular scenery and a wealth of historical and cultural treasures. From Northern Kruger Park, to incredible mountain ranges, Limpopo offers great diversity.

 

North West
North West province has the Big Five at Madikwe and Pilanesberg Game Reserves, fantastic bird-life and wide-open African skies. It also boasts archaeological discoveries that go back to the beginnings of humankind.
