South Africa is a genuine first world country, with a large and modern economy, transport networks, healthcare, hospitality and service sectors. Travel here is therefore generally much more accessible and generally more mainstream than in other African countries.
Whilst top end travellers can choose to fly everywhere, most of our guests tend to include at least some self-drive elements.
Highlights include the towns, farms, reserves and beaches of the
Western Cape, non-malarial safari in the
Eastern Cape, the
North and
Northwest, luxury safari in the
Kruger and the subtropical reserves and coastline of
KwaZulu Natal.
