South Africa tours & holidays

Although ‘country of contrasts’ is a bit of a cliché...

What else do you call a place where you can experience penguins waddling on the Cape, lions stalking the bushveld, cinematic coastal switchbacks and burnt Kalahari sand, the oldest wine industry outside Europe and cutting-edge fusion cuisine? The beauty of a South Africa tour is being able to fit so much Africa into so little time. From the Stellenbosch Winelands to Kruger, Durban and beyond, this is a place where you can take your safari with a side of Pinotage. All in all, ‘contrast’ doesn’t really do South Africa justice.
