Game Drives

A safari in South Africa is one of the most sought-after nature experiences. South Africa’s ‘Big Five’ to be seen are elephants, lions, rhinos, leopards and buffaloes. Most game reserve are open to self-drive visitors. But we also offer guided game drives with qualified guides in 4×4 vehicles. An early morning or night guided game drive offers the chance to see animals when the park gates might still be closed to the general public.

Hiking Trails

From gentle 30-minute strolls to the tough 5-day Otter Trail, it is easy to see more of South Africa on foot. Even if you just want to stretch your legs or are keen to explore the farm where you overnight, hiking in South Africa is easy and suitable for all ages. For more serious hikers, we arrange guided hiking excursions, including gear and accommodation. You will need to bring sturdy hiking boots and a small day-pack.

Day trips

Sometimes it is just easier to let someone else do the driving… Join a day trip! We offer guided tours in all the major cities: Johannesburg, Durban, Port Elizabeth and Cape Town. Your driver-guide will escort you in a comfortable vehicle, mostly an air-conditioned minibus and provide in-depth knowledge about the sights you are visiting. Day trips can vary from a few hours to a full day.

Cycling

Cyclists love South Africa. Its winding roads along the coast, with Cape Town’s Chapman‘s Peak serves triathletes and racers as perfect training ground. Not only does Cape Town host the Cape Argus Bike Race every summer, it also offers a vast amount of opportunities for mountain bikers and city cyclists.

Water Sports

South Africa has a coastline of more than 2500km, the best wind and waves in the world for all water sports. May it be swimming, sailing, diving, kitesurfing or surfing – South Africa offers best conditions from November until April. South Africa is bordered by two oceans. The warm Indian Ocean along the KwaZulu-Natal, Wild Coast and Garden Route is perfect for diving, surfing and long walks along the white beaches.

South Africa is wine-country! Vineyards cover over 100 000ha of farmland and over 60 appellations in South Africa, ranging from desert-like regions of the Karoo and Northern Cape to the Cape Agulhas, the southernmost tip of Africa. Wine tours, visiting various wine farms, provides an excellent insight into terroir and cultivars.
