South Africa travel guide
South Africa at a glance
South Africa has everything. Inland, in the Kruger National Park, Sabi Sands, Kwandwe Reserve, Mala Mala Reserve and more you can self drive or follow your guide on foot through the Savannah to encounter the big five – buffaloes, lions, elephants, leopards and rhinos. On the coast, kneel down to go eye-to-eye with the penguins of Cape Town and watch them waddling around. It's practically impossible not to enjoy their natural comic timing. For a change of scene include a visit to a vineyard in your itinerary. Also worth a visit is Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned, the immense township of Soweto,
Blyde River Canyon and Table Mountain. Explore our website to plan your trip to South Africa.
