Holidays to Southern Africa

Southern Africa has some of the best wildlife on the planet, as well as sophisticated cities such as Cape Town and many scenic touring routes.

South Africa is a land of outstanding natural beauty, with over 20 national wildlife parks, some of which are malaria-free. But South Africa is so much more than 'safari and beach'. Beautiful Cape Town is easily combined with a self-drive or escorted tour along the scenic Garden Route, ending with a thrilling ‘Big Five’ safari holiday in the Eastern Cape, Madikwe, Waterberg, Kalahari or the world famous Kruger National Park. The kingdom of Zululand is another delightful destination with its historic battlefields, exceptional birding, dramatic mountains, lush wetlands and colourful Zulu culture. Luxury trains such as the Rovos Rail, Blue Train and Shongololo offer another delightful way to explore. With some of the best food & wine in the world, outstanding championship golf courses and famous shark diving sites, this is a country which you cannot cover in a single visit, so concentrate on one or two areas and plan a repeat trip.

Botswana is a pristine wilderness and one of Africa’s top safari destinations. Vast Chobe Game Reserve supports the highest concentration of elephants in all of Africa, whilst the lush Okavango Delta wetlands offering outstanding birding. Many of the camps and lodges are remote and reached by light aircraft. Botswana is a world-class safari destination that offers a true wilderness experience and the prices in high season will reflect this.

Zambia and Zimbabwe both offer wild and unspoiled game viewing opportunities, as well as sharing the thundering Victoria Falls, the largest waterfall on earth. The deserts and canyons of Namibia offer an equally fascinating, yet completely different, safari experience. Afterwards relax on the warm beaches of Durban, or fly to the pristine Mozambique coast, Lake Malawi or the tropical Indian Ocean islands of Mauritius or Seychelles.
