South Africa, located at the southernmost tip of Africa, is home to some of the richest biodiversity on earth, with numerous national parks and incredible landscapes ranging from mountains, lakes and oceans to winelands, game farms and deserts. With renowned highlights such as Table Mountain, Kruger National Park and big five safari areas, amongst numerous others, South Africa remains one of the world’s favourite safari destinations.
As well as the big game reserves and national parks, South Africa also has excellent private wildlife reserves such as the Timbavati, Sabi Sands, Amakhala, Shamwari and Kariega. And it’s not only about South Africa safaris, there is also its colourful history with many fascinating historical sites to visit such as Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned, the Natal battlefields and Apartheid Museum.
One of the most popular places for South Africa tours and safaris is Kruger National Park, one of the largest game parks in Africa, spanning both the Limpopo and Mpumalanga provinces. With an astonishing variety of species including 147 mammals, 507 birds, 114 reptiles and 336 trees, Kruger is situated in the Lowveld, with baobab, fever, marula and mopane trees. On a safari trip to South Africa, expect to spot the big five, as well as the little five and the birding big six, exploring on a wide variety of activities such as wildlife safaris, mountain biking trails, guided walking safaris, golfing and bird watching.
South Africa’s famed Garden Route is a panoramic stretch of coastline ideal for a slow paced self-drive. Technically it runs from Mossel Bay to Storms River, although many start well before Mossel Bay in beautiful Cape Town. Savour the scenic beauty of lakes, forests, lagoons, beaches and forest along the way, and enjoy the many outdoor activities and adventures on offer from hiking and water sports to whale watching and shark cage diving!
