South Africa is a vast, diverse and incredibly beautiful Country.

For many people the big game that roam just beyond the city lights of Pretoria and Johannesburg are reason alone to visit. Our fabulous animal life is more varied than just the Big 5, it is also a bird watchers paradise and in early June the Southern right Whales leave their Antarctic feeding ground and travel to the Cape Coast.

South Africa is one of the great cultural meeting points of the African continent. This rich cultural heritage is celebrated in local cuisine and our wines are considered among the best in the world.

If botany is your interest, you could wish for no better destination. Here you will find the third-highest level of biodiversity in the world. A spectacular range of scenery and eco-systems found nowhere else.
