Kruger National Park

Kruger National Park

All the iconic animals hang out in Kruger - elephant, lion, leopard, cheetah, rhino, buffalo, giraffe, hippo and zebra. Many, many more mammals and over 500 varieties of bird bask in the African sun. It’s a big ole space, more than 19,000 square kilometres.

Cape Town

Cape Town

Cape Town is one of the world's favourite holiday destinations. With pristine beaches, a buzzing café culture, great restaurants, a working harbour, unique nature reserves, popular landmarks and suburban vineyards there is much to enjoy.

Cape Winelands

Cape Winelands

An hour's drive from Cape Town, the Cape Winelands is an area of outstanding beauty with charming country towns, vast mountain ranges, fynbos nature reserves and of course the always-picturesque vineyards and some mighty fine wines for the tasting.

Garden Route

Garden Route

Packed with an assortment of attractions from spectacular family beaches, charming seaside towns, whale watching, nature reserves, indigenous forests, Cape fynbos and the Karoo hinterland. The Garden Route is made for relaxing holidays, great sights and good food.

Garden Route Safari

Garden Route Safari

At the eastern end of the Garden Route are a clutch of genuine, big five game reserves in pristine wilderness areas offering excellent lodges, first-rate guides and the cherry on top: a malaria-free safari.

Addo Elephant Park

Addo Elephant Park

Addo by the numbers: From just eleven elephants to over 600 today, Addo Elephant Park is a conservation success and a safari favourite. With the Big Seven, hundreds of birds and five ways to stay, it’s full of wild stories and big moments - all waiting to be discovered, one number at a time.

Madikwe Game Reserve and the North West

Madikwe Game Reserve and the North West

Madikwe offers the chance to see the Big Five in a malaria-free, family-friendly environment, making it the perfect safari destination for all ages.

Mpumalanga

Mpumalanga

Eastern South Africa, a province known by the Zulu as ‘the place where the sun rises’. This is Mpumalanga. And it’s a stunner. With two distinct faces, the highveld - characterised by high-altitude rolling grasslands - and the lowveld - a subtropical savannah woodland area.

KwaZulu-Natal

KwaZulu-Natal

The garden province. Who doesn't want to be known as that? Stacks of flora, stacks of fauna. Subtropical thickets, moist grasslands, savannah,even swathes of alpine glory, it's all here and a great chunk of it is beside the seaside.

Gauteng

Gauteng

Explore Gauteng's vibrant culture, urban charm, and economic hub in South Africa's heartland.

Namaqualand and Northern Cape

Namaqualand and Northern Cape

It’s a region of two halves: Little Namaqualand and Great Namaqualand. The former forms part of the Northern Cape, South Africa’s largest and least populated province. The latter, equally sparse, in Namibia. The Kalahari Desert, bounteous falls and blooming daisies.

West Coast

West Coast

A raw, rugged stretch now seen as an important biodiversity corridor. Endangered vegetation thrives as do creatures great and small. Birds are on to a good thing too with the internationally renowned Langebaan Lagoon and Dassen Island.

Swaziland (Kingdom of Eswatini)

Swaziland (Kingdom of Eswatini)

Still under rule by decree of the King, one of the last true monarchies in the world. Wedged between SA and Mozambique with a small economy but a number of game reserves and a huge traditional culture, it has fast become a popular tourist attraction.

Limpopo

Limpopo

Limpopo. A thumping, rhythmic sound. Even it’s name means ‘strong gushing waterfalls’. Huge mountains, enormous trees, king-sized wildlife. The province even has one of the biggest cultural footprints, as seven of South Africa’s eleven official languages are spoken here.

Lesotho

Lesotho

A high-altitude landlocked kingdom with South Africa on all sides. Lesotho is in vogue. Trending. The word on the street and among the worldly-wise. NYT has this tiny country on its 52 Places To Go In 2020 ogle-fest.
