Country – South Africa

What it feels like to be there…

South Africa blends colonial luxury with the amazing drama of its natural landscape to great effect. You can choose to stay in grand estate houses on the vineyards along the Garden Route or camp out in unbelievable style in the Safari parks. Sip Shiraz and doff your cap to a passing lioness.

Some practical information worth knowing…

Cape Town and Johannesburg are the main travel hub airports for South Africa, and from these there are local services to all major cities. The road network is smooth, though, so long distances can be covered at a decent pace if you want a better feel for the place. The climate is temperate, so dress for spring/summer all year round.
