Cape Town, the winelands and the Garden Route have all the ingredients for the perfect holiday. Some of the favourites are The Cellars, Lanzerac in the winelands and The Cape Grace in Cape Town. Head along the Garden Route absorbing the fantastic scenic coastline, nature reserves and forests before arriving at the marvellous city of Cape Town where you can enjoy Table Mountain, Robben Island, local markets and the wonderful harbour before heading out to the winelands.The Cape region has some unforgettable scenic places to visit and spectacular dining.  

Set against the backdrop of Table Mountain, Cape Town is a rarity in having such scenery almost as part of the city. It takes just three minutes to reach the top by cable car! Another prime attraction is the Victoria and Alfred (V & A) Waterfront, close to Cape Town's city centre, with restaurants, cafes, bars, great cuisine, and some of South Africa's best hotels. Come down here for an evening cruise on Table Bay, a glass of champagne, and the mountain behind you as the sun sinks below the sea. Robben Island is also a "must see" while in Cape Town. The island where Nelson Mandela and his colleagues were incarcerated during the apartheid struggle is now a museum and World Heritage listed site.

The Kruger National Park itself stretches from Limpopo Province in the south up to South Africa’s border with Zimbabwe in the north. Roughly half of the park falls within Mpumalanga and half in Limpopo, the Limpopo regions being drier and more arid than the dense bushveld of Mpumalanga which is hotter and humid. More than 140 species of mammals, 500 species of birds and over 300 species of trees provide the greatest diversity of wildlife in Africa. Searching for the “Big Five” (lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo) , forms the basis of a classic wildlife safari in the park where accommodation can be in luxury lodges to a campsite according to taste and budget.

Guide in South Africa:

At the southern tip of the African continent South Africa is washed by the cold Atlantic on the west coast and the warm Indian Ocean in the east. It shares borders with Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, and the landlocked kingdoms of Swaziland and Lesotho. A major advantage for visitors from Europe is a time difference of only two hours in winter and one hour in summer. With many flights to and from South Africa being overnight, little holiday time is lost in the journey. Flights from London take about 12 hours.

The popularity of South Africa as a holiday destination grows year by year as more and more travellers discover the wonders of its scenery, the warm hospitality, amazing wildlife, good year round weather and excellent value for money.
