South Africa
Diverse. Magical. Unexpected.
South Africa is a land of contrasts, where diversity reigns supreme. From the arid deserts of the Kalahari to lush forests and a dazzling coastline that stretches across both the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, the country’s landscapes are as varied as they are breathtaking.
This rich geographical tapestry is mirrored by a multicultural population of over 50 million people, making South Africa a vibrant melting pot of traditions, languages, and cultures. Renowned for its Big Five safari experiences, South Africa’s commitment to conservation is evident in its world-class national parks and reserves. Beyond the wild, the country offers award-winning restaurants, a thriving viticultural industry, and two of the continent’s most exciting cities, Cape Town and Johannesburg. Here, urban glamour meets natural beauty, creating a destination that truly defies categorization. South Africa is a place where every journey offers something new, and every visit promises an unforgettable adventure.
Plan Your Trip
Where to go in South Africa:
A VAST Experience
As a visitor to South Africa, your days will be as varied as the scenery. In the Cape, it’s all about gourmet wine and food experiences against a backdrop of charming Cape Dutch buildings, before spending a few days on safari in your chosen wild expanse. And in between, how about whale-watching off the coast of Hermanus, following the road less travelled up the aptly-named Wild Coast, or spending a few days off-grid in middle of the Kalahari?
South Africa’s accommodation options reign supreme on the continent. From laidback, beachside boltholes to safari lodges from the pages of a design magazine – and some that even act as a destination in themselves – prepare to be wowed.
The publicly accessible national parks are undoubtedly brilliant (see Kruger, one of the most prolific parks on the continent), but the country's private game reserves offer an exclusive experience like no other with an equal focus on luxury and conservation.
