South Africa’s exotic combinations of landscapes, people, history and culture offer a unique and inspiring experience. South Africa is a heady mix of third and first world cultures - along with the best and least crowded beaches in the world. With wildlife parks such as the Kruger Park, Eight World Heritage Sites, beautiful natural scenery, and a great infrastructure, this is a destination not to be missed.

South Africa is one of the most diverse and interesting countries in the world. Travellers flock to South Africa for its natural beauty, wildlife and year-round sunshine. Its immensely varied terrain supports a rich diversity of animals, birds, and plant-life and offers an incomparable range of experiences.

The best time for game viewing is in early spring (August to October). The southern right whales can be seen off our coasts from June to the end of October, and the humpback whales from August to December.

Summer can be very hot, especially in the lowveld. Higher-altitude areas are pleasantly warm over summer, but the mountains are rain and mist prone. The north eastern regions can be very humid, but swimming on the east coast is a year-round option. Visit the Northern Cape in the Spring - the best time for wildflowers. Winters are mild except in the highest country, where there are frosts and occasional snowfalls. Holiday-makers stream out of the cities from mid December to late January and resorts and national parks are heavily booked during these times, so it’s advisable to book trips in advance
