South Africa

Overview

Explore the two different sides of South Africa, a country where majestic scenery and exotic wildlife are complemented by safari lodges and beach resorts.

South Africa’s scenery ranges from purple-tinted mountains and white sand beaches to emerald green vineyards and parched, brown bushveld. European sophistication is apparent in its fashionable cities and charming towns, whilst its primitive origins are still evident in its rugged peaks and sprawling savannah lands.

You are sure to revel in the cosmopolitan appeal of Cape Town and the quaint charms of the Winelands, before taking full advantage of the Garden Route’s championship golf courses and exclusive beach resorts. You can even travel on world-famous trains like Rovos Rail and the Blue Train, where the panoramic scenery is enhanced by gourmet cuisine and first-class service.

Yet it is still the back-to-nature attractions of Mpumalanga that you will remember long after you have returned home, the opportunity of spotting the Big Five on one of the Kruger’s wildlife-rich game reserves, a once-in-a-lifetime thrill.

Visit all year round, although expect cooler temperatures between June and August. For premium game viewing, focus upon the drier months between April and September when the grass is sparse and the animals tend to congregate at the waterholes.

We would be delighted to put together an individual itinerary including luxury rail travel with any of our recommended South African hotels.
