South Africa Holiday Short Overview

With Table Mountain, one of the most spiritual places on earth, at its heart and two oceans at its feet; the city of Cape Town, strategically situated at the south-western tip of Africa, has been famed for centuries as the Tavern of the Seas.

Vibrant, cosmopolitan and an eclectic mix of old and new, this laid-back city is as much at home with its 17th-century castle, whose cannons have never been fired in anger as it is with its sleek skyscrapers and trendy malls.

Home to South Africa’s first mosque, oldest wine farm, a 350-year old garden, award-winning eateries and timelessly beautiful beaches, it’s no surprise the legendary spectral ship, the Flying Dutchman, has spent eternity sailing the city’s shores.

Looking for an African Adventure Safari?

Going on safari is unequivocally one of the most unforgettable, put-it-at-the-top-of-your-bucket-list kind of travel experiences. If you haven’t been on safari, you haven’t experienced Mother Africa in all her arresting beauty and unexpected drama.

To say that a safari is life-changing seems trite, but the experience truly does open the mind, captivate the imagination and change one’s perspective. The sights, the sounds, and indeed the smells swirl together in the most captivating and intoxicating way, and Africa’s iconic land, wildlife and people—formidable in every way—win even the hardest of hearts.

The beauty of the African safari is that no two places, no two days and no two game drives are ever the same. Expect the unexpected, always. One day might have you clambering out of the vehicle to inspect the delightfully slow gait of the cautious chameleon or the showman strength of the dung beetle. The next day, could see you in hot pursuit of a pack of African wild dogs on the hunt, or holding your breath as a powerful male lion saunters past. You’ll witness life, possibly death, humor and heartache, and it will leave you wanting more.

The good news is that the African continent is enormous. To put it in perspective, Africa is roughly three times the size of the United States, so don’t try to fit everything into one trip. Africa gets into your soul. There’s no denying you’ll be back, so rather focus on one country/region at a time to experience its unique charms, cultures, creatures, flavors and more.
