South Africa
Africa's Most Diverse Safari Destination
South Africa is Africa’s most diverse safari destination, offering world-class wildlife, extraordinary landscapes, celebrated cuisine and wine, and two of the continent’s most iconic cities — all within a single country. Its exceptional infrastructure, no-malaria game reserves and huge variety of experiences make it the natural entry point for first-time visitors to Africa, while its depth and breadth reward those returning again and again.
When to Travel
DRY SEASON
The Kruger region is best visited May to September when game viewing is most concentrated and the bush is thinner. Visibility is excellent and wildlife gathers at water sources.
GREEN / WET SEASON
The Cape is a year-round destination. Summer from November to March brings hot weather and wildflowers, while winter from June to August is prime whale watching season. The Garden Route is excellent in any season.
What to See
Discover the landscapes that make South Africa extraordinary
The Sabi Sands & Greater Kruger
South Africa’s most celebrated safari destination. Leopard sightings here are so frequent and relaxed that guests often watch them for an hour or more. Lion, elephant, buffalo and rhino complete the Big Five in one of the most wildlife-rich ecosystems on the continent. The private lodges range from intimate family camps to some of the most luxurious properties in Africa.

Cape Town & the Cape Winelands
Cape Town is consistently ranked among the world’s most beautiful cities, framed by the iconic Table Mountain and the meeting of two oceans. The Winelands of Stellenbosch, Franschhoek and Constantia offer exceptional wine estates, farm-to-table restaurants and some of the most beautiful scenery in the southern hemisphere.

KwaZulu-Natal
KwaZulu-Natal offers a different dimension to South Africa’s safari story. The iSimangaliso Wetland Park combines hippo-filled lakes, nesting turtles and one of Africa’s finest birdlists in a single coastal reserve. Nearby, Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park is where the white rhino was brought back from the brink of extinction.
