Every country in the world displays diversity, but South Africa really takes some beating.
Stretching from the land of the hippos in the Limpopo River to penguins waddling on the Cape, the country befits its position at the southern end of the world’s most epic continent, with more types of terrain than photographers can shake their zoom lens at.
There’s the deserted Kalahari, Namakwa’s springtime symphony of wildflowers, iconic Table Mountain and Cape Point, Kruger National Park’s wildlife-stalked savannah and, running through the east of the country and into Lesotho, the Drakensberg Mountains. KwaZulu-Natal’s iSimangaliso Wetland Park alone has five distinct ecosystems, attracting both zebras and dolphins. Our South Africa specialists have explored every corner of this magnificent region and can offer you the best recommendations for your holiday.

Useful Travel Information
When to go
November - March
April - October
Because South Africa is split into two main climatic zones, it’s well worth considering the climate before deciding where and when to go. The north of the country, including Johannesburg, the Kruger National Park, Limpopo Province, Kalahari Desert, Durban and northern KwaZulu Natal, is influenced by a sub-tropical climate and receives most rainfall during the warmer summer months from November to March. The south of the country, including Cape Town, the Cape Winelands, Cederberg Mountains, Hermanus, the Karoo Desert, Garden Route, Port Elizabeth and the Eastern Cape, has a more temperate climate and receives most rainfall during the winter months, from April to October.
