South Africa is the continent's crown jewel. A firm favourite, it really does have it all from stunning landscapes to vibrant cities, world-class wine and wildlife as well as that indomitable, adventurous African spirit. No longer seen as just a safari hotspot, the country is as colourful as it is wild and as diverse as it is unique. It's no exaggeration to say that South Africa is a whole world within one country.
Who should go? Everyone. From couples looking for an incredible journey to honeymooners after a
trip-of-a-lifetime or families in search of adventure, South Africa has an experience for all.
Why go now? Aside from being an incredible, must-visit destination, other currencies are particularly strong against the Rand right now, making it an extremely affordable long haul option.

If you’re a seasoned safari hand, try something extraordinary, such as a once in a lifetime wildlife encounter in South Africa. Adrenalin junkies can choose between crocodile cage diving in Oudtshoorn and a great white shark encounter off the coast of Gansbaai, home to the largest population of great whites in the world. Then there’s the sardine run, a natural phenomenon whereby billions of sardinops sagax migrate to the KwaZulu-Natal coast, forming a shoal that stretches for 15km – dive beneath the waves to come face-to-face with this extraordinary sight.

It’s not all about wildlife in South Africa – the gourmet scene is thriving too. South Africa’s foodie mecca, Cape Town, has gastronomy as diverse as its people, with cuisine blending influences from its pre- and post-colonial past, served in the finest restaurants. When it comes to wine, those in the know make for the Winelands along the Western Cape, where lush hillsides covered in vines make for an idyllic setting for wine-tasting. There are 18 official wine routes here, stopping at historic estates that are home to exquisite wines and impressive art collections.

Incorporate one of South Africa’s great cities into your trip, or even head over for a long weekend city break. There’s no better way to get a taste of South African culture, be it a dose of Apartheid history in Johannesburg, discovering the art scene in Cape Town (the Terracotta Army and first emperor of China is currently on exhibition around South Africa) or hitting up Durban for world-class surfing and rugby matches – it’s also the place for swimming with whale sharks.

OUR HIGHLIGHTS IN SOUTH AFRICA
The allure of South Africa is its endless variety. From wine and fine dining to wildlife and safaris, we round up the reasons why we rate South Africa so highly and why you should go.
1. Safaris in South Africa. South Africa is synonymous with safaris; with plenty of undiscovered wildlife hotspots and malaria-free reserves it's brilliant for this bucket list experience.
2. Wine tasting. South Africa's New World wines rank among the world's best, particularly in Constantia, Stellenbosch and Franschhoek, home to countless wine trails and cycle routes.
3. Cuisine. Whether you're sampling age-old recipes with a modern twist in the Winelands, or restaurant-hopping in Cape Town, South Africa's gourmet offerings are tantalising.
4. Adrenaline & adventure. We'll say this with confidence: you won't be short of adventure in South Africa. Beyond wildlife there's also fantastic surfing, cycling, abseiling and much more.
5. Alternative Wildlife. Ever wanted to go cage diving with sharks or crocodiles? Or witness the spectacular sardine run? South Africa can tick all these boxes for hardcore wildlife enthusiasts.
6. Urban jungles. Bursting with culture and oozing heritage, South African cities are endlessly fascinating. Stay in a sleek boutique hotel and relish art, history and gastronomy on a city break.
