Visiting South Africa

South Africa is an essential destination for the African traveller

If you have not yet enjoyed a South African holiday, then one of the most enthralling experiences of your life still awaits you. As specialists in customising tours and wildlife safaris anywhere in South Africa, we assure you that no traveller can say their experience is complete if it has not included South Africa - a country that is as geographically diverse as its cultural mix.

A constantly evolving country, there is always more to be seen. Some recent developments, for example, have seen the establishment of huge trans-frontier parks and as a result, some of the largest parks in the world are being created, promising the most amazing wildlife experiences.

How long should you stay?

The country is so large and has so many varied experiences to offer, that we recommend one or more of the following options.

  • Western Cape (Cape Town & Environs) and the Garden Route.
  • Western Cape and the Big 5 game reserves of the Eastern Cape.
  • Western Cape and the Sabi Sand and Kruger Park surrounds.
  • Western Cape and Botswana.
  • Kruger Park area and KwaZulu Natal.
  • Kruger Park area and Western Cape.
  • KwaZulu Natal.

Generally speaking we advise that for holidays similar to the above, guests should allow anything between 12 and 21 days in order to best experience what is on offer. There is simply so much that even this will leave you wishing you could stay much longer. There is a huge variety of breathtaking scenery and natural beauty that will keep you enthralled.

Every year this magnificent wonderland gets inundated by flood waters originating from the highlands of Angola. The waters arrive at the top or "panhandle" of the Delta in about January and get to the "end" of the Delta in June or so.
