From the golden beaches of Durban to the vineyards of Stellenbosch and Kruger National Park’s sweeping plains, South Africa offers a holistic fusion of nature, history and adventure. Spend a week exploring the vibrant capital and venture to the top of Table Mountain for panoramic views, or head to the whale-watching capital of the world, Hermanus, for your chance to sight these beautiful mammals. A variety of exceptionally biodiverse private reserves and national parks offers brilliant game viewing and opportunities for off-beat discovery, where travellers can stay in everything from the most authentically rustic fly-camp to the highest echelon of exclusive luxury. Check camera traps, monitor wildlife, trim rhino horns and enjoy fireside chats with expert researchers and wildlife scientists under South Africa’s expansive star-studded sky.
