South Africa
Safari and beyond in the Rainbow Nation
The Rainbow Nation has really come of age as a tourism destination and is perfect if you've not explored this mighty continent before. You get the amazing wildlife, exuberant culture and epic scenery coupled with a highly developed transport and accommodation infrastructure.
Of course, South Africa offers unmatched safari too. In places like Kruger, Tembe and Hluhluwe-Imfolozi, game is plentiful and guides top notch. And its ocean wildlife shouldn't be overlooked. Along the coastline, dolphins and turtles play just offshore and whales breach on the horizon. There's sophistication too. Cape Town has moving museums, fine dining and buzzing nightlife — all to a backdrop of spectacular Table Mountain.

Being in a private concession within the Kruger allows for multiple game viewing experiences and a high chance of excellent sightings. Topped off with a few days at the beach in a village that oozes authentic Mozambican charm and it's easy to see the benefit of the classic safari and beach combo.

We've combined the best of South Africa starting with the Garden Route and ending with a Kruger safari making sure there is no compromise in the quality of what you'll see - what's not to love?! This is a self-guided trip which means you can run it when you want to, with whoever you want to! We recommend July to October so that you have the chance to see the whales migrating along the way.
The Garden Route is a very special part of South Africa as you get to experience the magnificent whale migration, fabulous wine and food, and stunning scenery as well. This trip brings out your inner outdoorsy side and with organised day trips along the way as well as that much needed free time, so you are able to explore everything this part of the world has to offer.
We recommend staying in upmarket 4-5* well priced accommodation to really enhance your trip, and let the places you stay become part of the memorable moments, not just a place to rest your head.
