TOURIST OPPORTUNITIES

South Africa is a vast, diverse and incredibly beautiful Country.

For many people the big game that roam just beyond the city lights of Pretoria and Johannesburg are reason alone to visit. Our fabulous animal life is more varied than just the Big 5, it is also a bird watchers paradise and in early June the Southern right Whales leave their Antarctic feeding ground and travel to the Cape Coast.

South Africa is one of the great cultural meeting points of the African continent. This rich cultural heritage is celebrated in its cuisine. Our wines are also considered among the best in the world.

If botany is your interest, you could wish for no better destination. Here you will find the third-highest level of biodiversity in the world. A spectacular range of scenery and eco-systems found nowhere else.

Cape Town and The Western Cape
Situated in the lap of Table Mountain, Cape Town is the oldest city in South Africa.

Johannesburg & Pretoria
These two cities form the Cosmopolitan and economic hub of South Africa.

The Garden Route
As the name implies this is an area of indigenous forests, lakes and meandering rivers stretching from Slang River on the Southern Cape Coast to the Tsitsikamma Forest and Storms River.

Kruger National Park, Mpumalanga & Limpopo
This region conjures up romantic images of untamed wildlife, magical scenery and African sunsets.

Durban & KwaZulu-Natal
Sandy beaches, Untamed wilderness areas, soaring peaks of the Drakensberg and the captivating stories of Battlefields of the passed.
