South Africa Vacations - Choose your South Africa Travel Packages
South Africa is a land of great diversity and beauty, from the tropical coastlines to the arid desert. Exotic floral and fauna, a proud cultural tradition, and first-class accommodations all make this country an unbelievable destination to visit.
No trip to South Africa is complete without a Safari experience. One of the best places to see the indigenous animals in their natural habitat is on the Sabi Sand Game reserve. This privately owned land is located adjacent to the famous Kruger National Park. While it offers the same wildlife viewing opportunities as its big sister, it has about half of the human traffic. For a truly luxurious experience, book a stay at the incomparable Singita, which features suites with private pools situated among the natural beauty of the bush.
Cape Town is quickly becoming one of the “Must See” destinations in the world. One visit to this vibrant city and there is little doubt as to why. If you are active, you can sightsee in the morning, hike up Table Mountain in the afternoon, and cool off in the evening by taking in the stunning Cape sunset - washed down with a world-class South African wine. The must see’s include Robben Island, Cape Winelands, and Cape Point. For the nature lovers, you can also see whales, great white sharks, and the largest African Penguin colony all as short day trips. For something more relaxed, high tea at the stunning Mount Nelson Hotel epitomizes the South African historic charm since 1899.
For those who love food and wine, a trip to the Cape Winelands is a must. Located a short distance from Cape Town, the romantic towns of Stellenbosch and Fanschoek are a throwback to their French and Dutch roots, with many centuries-old wineries that are still run by the original families. The foodies among you will savor the exceptional regional cuisine, which is a mix of French, Dutch, and Malay culinary delights.
Sun City is one of the world's most exotic and opulent holiday destinations. The Palace of the Lost City, which makes is home in this paradise, is undoubtedly one of the word’s most extravagant and largest five-star hotels. It includes an elegant casino, 136,000-acre game reserve and four opulent hotels. And for the golf enthusiasts, there are two world-class courses to choose from, complete with crocodiles at the water hazards. It is also a great place to enjoy a refreshing cocktail by a beautiful pool or enjoy a relaxing massage at a luxurious spa.
Does the history and romance of a long train journey appeal to you? If so, look no further than the famous Rovos Rail. A throwback to the glory days of luxury rail travel, this romantic ride will take you through some of the continent's most magnificent scenery and will do so in one of the vintage steam trains that date back to the 1800’s.
Surrounded by lakes, mountains, and beautiful beaches, the Garden Route east of Cape Town, is an explorer’s dream. Many unique experiences abound, and this road is a great place to self-drive. The adventurous can hike the famous Otter Trail, the foodies can enjoy Oysters and champagne in Knysna, and the seafarers can view the abundant wildlife of penguins, dolphins, sharks, seals and whales that populate the local waters.
