Tours to South Africa

South Africa

Is South Africa perched firmly at the top of your bucket list? Same. Get ready to tick it off and experience the very best this action-packed country has to offer with our wide range of South Africa tour packages. Whether you’re keen to get up close and personal with the Big Five, get artsy in Johannesburg, sip and savour delicious drops in wine country or lay by the beach, we’ve got something for you.  

First things first, explore South Africa’s wildlife safari options and snap pics of wildlife on thrilling game drives. Our Kruger National Park Safari Packages are some of the most popular, offering the ultimate safari experience featuring luxurious lodges and days spent spotting lions, leopards, rhinos, giraffes, zebra and buffalo.  

Keep the good vibes rolling and marvel at mother nature with South Africa eco-tourism adventures. Explore diverse ecosystems, from the savannah to the coast, and participate in sustainable tourism practices. We also highly recommend taking in the breathtaking views with Garden Route scenic drives, stopping at charming coastal towns, lush forests, and stunning beaches along the way.  

Embrace city life and join Cape Town adventure tours to experience the vibrant culture and visit iconic landmarks like Table Mountain and the V&A Waterfront. Alternatively, discover the rich history, bustling markets, and vibrant arts scene of South Africa’s largest city with Johannesburg City Breaks.  

History buffs can explore the rich cultural tapestry of South Africa with cultural heritage tours and visits to traditional villages. We also highly recommend joining a Robben Island historical tour to visit the former prison where Nelson Mandela was held and learn about South Africa’s struggle for freedom. 

Finally, those keen to relax can kick back and savour the flavours of South Africa wine country tours, visiting world-renowned vineyards and sampling exquisite wines against the scenery of the Cape Winelands. From there, enjoy the golden sands, warm waters, and vibrant beachfront atmosphere with Durban beach vacations.
