Zuid Afrika

Een verfijnde mix van de Big Five reservaten, Kaapstad, wijnlanden, kust en uitzonderlijk eten en design.

Overview

Discover South Africa.

South Africa makes it possible to combine a polished city break, celebrated food and wine, dramatic coast and a world-class safari in one journey. Cape Town and the Winelands are natural opening chapters before flights connect to the Kruger region and its private reserves, where expert guides lead day and night game drives.

Families value the range of malaria-free reserves, while couples can pair intimate lodges with coastal drives and boutique stays. With strong infrastructure and many distinct regions, South Africa works equally well as a first African holiday or a fresh, multi-layered return.
