Trips to South Africa

Experience countless sunny days, breathtaking landscapes, dramatic coastlines, excitement, and magic. South Africa has everything you could wish for. Besides the numerous fascinating national parks and wildlife reserves, which are among the finest in the world, you'll also find excellent golf courses and delightful vineyards.

Watch the Sun Set Over Two Oceans

Along the coast of KwaZulu-Natal, the warm weather and water are thanks to the Agulhas Current. Enjoy about 230 sunny days a year, along with beautiful beaches and swimming in the Indian Ocean.

In the Western Cape, the climate is drier and slightly cooler. The cold Atlantic Ocean provides excellent conditions for diving and surfing on South Africa's best waves. The winding coast is lined with picturesque towns and beautiful bays with soft, white sand. Camps Bay near Cape Town is considered by many to be among the most beautiful in the world.

A Nation of Rainbow Colors

The fact that South Africa has 11 official languages says a lot about the country's culture and history. A mix of Dutch, French, British, Indian, Malaysian, and local tribes have left their mark on the land, often referred to as the Rainbow Nation.

Each city has its own township, often located on the outskirts, where local guides organize tours that provide insight into daily life.

Breathtaking Views and High-Level Experiences

South Africa offers an incredible array of experiences. Vineyards and untouched forests are interspersed with long lagoons and majestic mountains. One of South Africa's most famous roads is the Garden Route, which stretches between Mossel Bay and Tsitsikamma National Park.

Another tip is Hermanus, a charming little town known for being one of the best places in the world for whale watching. The Cape of Good Hope and Cape Point are must-see excursions. The road there winds beautifully along the coast, where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Indian Ocean with dramatic flair.

Generous Portions and Refreshing Wines

South Africa boasts many excellent restaurants. The food is not only delicious but also affordable, and the service is impeccable. The exquisite wines are an added bonus. Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, and Paarl are important wine districts well worth a visit.

Shopping for All Tastes

In larger cities, you'll find extensive shopping centers offering everything from clothing and footwear to home decor.

Local markets are highly appreciated, featuring beautiful crafts, especially in wood, fabrics, and ceramics. Haggling is expected at these markets.

Bring the Kids Along for an Adventure

Children are more than welcome in South Africa. The well-organized nature reserves, elephant parks, crocodile, and ostrich farms are easy to explore independently. In and around most cities, you will find charming museums, aquariums, and zoos for both young and old. For the adventurous, dive with great white sharks or try bungee jumping.
