We never tire of booking one-of-a-kind trips to South Africa’s hotspots – and we’re confident that whatever your requirements and whatever you’re looking for from your break, we will be able to come up with an itinerary that meets (and exceeds) all your expectations. Read on to learn more about what South Africa can offer holidaymakers of all ages and travel preferences.

POPULAR SOUTH AFRICA TRAVEL DESTINATIONS

Sunny Johannesburg, South Africa’s largest city, is a must-visit if you’re looking to plan an action-packed urban South Africa holiday and try some exceptional cuisine while you’re at it. Durban, meanwhile, is the ideal destination if you’re after sand, surf, and pristine coastline. Relax on the famous Golden Mile, or, if you want to find the ultimate adrenalin rush during your South Africa travel experience, try out the Big Rush Big Swing, which is officially the planet’s tallest swing!

Head to the other side of the country, and you’ll find beautiful beaches, fascinating cliff formations and lush wine country. The Cape of Good Hope offers all kinds of activities for those of you who prefer to enjoy the outdoors, from hiking or cycling across the rocky terrain to surfing the waves against the stunning backdrop of the Cape Peninsula. The iconic 200km Garden Route delivers breathtaking views, and, of course, there’s Table Mountain, a towering beacon that dominates the skyline over Cape Town.

Cape Town is, without doubt, the country’s artistic hub. Packed full of galleries, eateries and independent shops, you’ll love exploring this spectacular metropolis and getting to know what makes the locals tick.

While you’re visiting, you won’t be able to gloss over South Africa’s turbulent political and philanthropic landscape, which has shaped its culture today. A visit to Robben Island is a perfect for history buffs; previously a prison during the Apartheid, this foreboding structure is home to Nelson Mandela’s cell.

THINK SOUTH AFRICA, THINK SAFARI!

There are plenty of places that offer elite safaris in South Africa. Madikwe Game Reserve, Sabi Sand Nature Reserve, Addo Elephant National Park and the volcanic Pilanesberg National Park all offer unique experiences and should never be overlooked. But if you’re considering embarking on a safari tour in the south of the continent, you’re probably keen to visit Kruger National Park.

This vast reserve spans two of South Africa’s provinces and covers an area of nearly 20,000 square kilometres. It’s a reliable bet if you’re keen to see the Big 5 – leopards, lions, elephants, rhino and buffalo – up close and personal, and the guides, trackers and hosts here deliver a world-class service backed by great accommodation options. Private tours and private reserves are available for those of you who would prefer to beat the crowds on your South Africa safari holiday.

If you’re keen to add a touch of luxury to your trip, why not opt for an all-inclusive South Africa safari package? Or we can help you plan a series of add-ons that will make your break extra special.

SOUTH AFRICA’S WORLD-CLASS WINERIES

If you’re something of a wine buff, you’ll be in your element taking in the sights, smells and mouth-watering flavours of the country’s revered wine estates.

Many of South Africa’s famous wineries are located in the Franschhoek valley, which is to the east of Cape Town. From Haute Cabriere (the home of Pierre Jourdan) to the Holden Manz Wine Estate and dozens in between, this well-travelled region is a must-visit for anyone who knows (or wants to get to know) their tipples. Elsewhere, there’s Stellenbosch, Paarl, Swartland, Roberton, and the Elgin Valley to consider. And, there are plenty of South Africa wine tours available for holidaymakers who want to take in as many vineyards as possible during their time here!

Whether you’re looking to book a solo adventure, eager to find a romantic safari for two, or arranging a tour for your young family or a larger party, the independent travel consultants at Destination Seekers are here to assist you. Let us take the time and hassle out of organising your holiday to South Africa so you can sit back, relax, and let the good times roll!
