Extraordinary South Africa

From Table Mountain, majestically overlooking Cape Town, to its world-class Winelands and the gorgeous, ocean-hugging Garden Route, through craggy passes, ostriches, meerkats and caves full of stalactites, quaint towns with art galleries, safaris and private game reserves to see ‘the big 5’. This is South Africa!

Sitting below the majestic Table Mountain, on the southwestern coast of South Africa lies its oldest city, Cape Town. This diverse city with its vibrant centre, colour-soaked houses and sandy, boulder-strewn beaches should not be missed. From here, you can take a boat trip to the notorious Robben Island and its prison, where Nelson Mandela was held captive for 18 years. Ride the cable car to the top of Table Mountain for breathtaking views over Cape Town and beyond. Wander through the Bo Kaap area with its vividly coloured houses, formerly known as the Malay Quarter, the community here developed as a result of apartheid, and was brought here as slaves by the Dutch. The Malay food in this area is still prepared the same way it was, those 350 years ago. Take a walk through Cape Town’s city centre on a food tour, eat your starter in one restaurant, your main in another and dessert in the next.

Wine Trams and Meerkats 

Get tiddly on a tram in The Winelands in Franschhoek, and travel through stunning valleys and rolling vineyards in a double-decker tram, with a backdrop of mountains. Be transported around a loop, hopping off to experience activities like wine tasting, seller tours, lunch, or simply a stroll of the vineyards.

Take in the spectacular coastal Garden Route spotting whales and seals on your own ocean safari, or head inland to embark on a drive through the epic Swartberg Pass. This pass isn't for the faint-hearted. The drive takes you through soaring rock formations, and plunging valleys brimming with ripe, lush greenery just waiting for your camera.

Meander through the town of Oudtshoorn, and admire the historical buildings, discover the history and culture in its museum. Get up early for a meerkat tour, watch as they emerge from their burrows and bask in the morning sun. Explore the Cango Caves, marvel at the beauty hidden beneath the earth with their imposing caverns, and limestone formations,

With hundreds of hotels and villas at our fingertips let us help you plan your next holiday.
