Map of South Africa

South Africa is Africa's most visited country and one of the most diverse travel destinations in the world. Often described as "the world in one country", it offers iconic wildlife safaris, vibrant cities, dramatic landscapes and excellent value in a single, easy-to-combine trip.

Cape Town is South Africa's most iconic city and one of the country's essential stops. Set beneath Table Mountain between the Atlantic Ocean and the Cape Peninsula, it combines dramatic scenery, world-class food and wine, rich history, and an outstanding range of day tours and outdoor experiences.

The Greater Kruger National Park is South Africa's flagship safari destination and one of the most important wildlife conservation areas in Africa.

The Panorama Route in Mpumalanga is one of South Africa's most scenic road journeys, following the dramatic Drakensberg Escarpment where the Highveld drops sharply into the Lowveld. With canyon viewpoints, waterfalls, forest walks and historic towns, it's a natural extension to a Kruger National Park safari.

Mpumalanga is one of South Africa's most scenic and safari-rich provinces, best known as the gateway to the Greater Kruger National Park and the dramatic landscapes of the Panorama Route. From warm Lowveld bushveld and Big Five game reserves to escarpment viewpoints, waterfalls and cultural experiences, Mpumalanga is a natural starting point for many first-time safari itineraries in South Africa.

Bordering Kruger National Park, the Sabi Sand Game Reserve is South Africa's most established private safari destination, and widely regarded as the best place in the country (and arguably the world) to see leopards in the wild.

Bordering Kruger National Park, the Timbavati Private Nature Reserve is a vast Greater Kruger wilderness known for its quieter atmosphere, excellent Big Five viewing, and the rare occurrence of wild white lions.

The Garden Route is a beautiful stretch of coastline between Mossel Bay and Gqeberha (formerly Port Elizabeth) along South Africa's southern Cape. Renowned for its diverse landscapes, it boasts rugged mountains, lush forests, tranquil lakes, winding rivers, and pristine beaches.

Johannesburg is Africa's most modern city. It is the thriving commercial, financial, industrial, mining, retail and business hub of South Africa. Generating 16% of South Africa's GDP, Johannesburg is one of the world's leading financial centres. Welcome to eGoli, the City of Gold!

Madikwe is one of South Africa's popular Big 5 safari destinations for those looking for a malaria-free safari. It's especially family friendly as there's no need for malarial prophylactics. Most lodges in Madikwe Game Reserve welcome children and offer specially designed child-friendly programmes to keep the little ones busy and to help them really enjoy their safari experience, too.

Phinda Private Game Reserve is not far from the well-known iSimangaliso/Greater St Lucia Wetland Park in northern KwaZulu-Natal. Phinda offers you abundant wildlife, courtesy of its incredibly diverse habitats. There, a handful of private lodges share excellent game sightings in a 23,000-hectare wilderness. Within easy distance of the warm Indian Ocean and its pristine beaches, Phinda makes for an ideal "bush and beach" safari destination.
