Cape Town and
the Cape Peninsula
At the southern tip of South Africa is a peninsula
of indescribable splendor, described by early explorers
as "the fairest Cape in the whole circumference
of the earth". With its fishing harbors, sheer
cliffs and wave-swept coves, the Peninsula separates
two great oceans – the Atlantic and Indian
Oceans. Rugged forest clad mountain ranges form
scenic backdrops to the many white sandy beaches,
providing a popular vacation destination for honeymooners
and families. The Cape floral kingdom is home to
10 % of all plant species in the world. Over 8,000
plant species grow here of which 1,400 grow on Table
Mountain. The gateway
to the peninsula is South Africa’s Mother
City, Cape Town. This attractive city is cradled
by majestic Table Mountain. A short cable car
ride takes visitors to the top, providing panoramic
views of the city and spectacular shoreline, weather
permitting. The Victoria and Alfred Waterfront
is a haven of shops, restaurants and taverns,
situated on the edge of Cape Town's historic harbor.
The original buildings have been restored and
new ones built in a Victorian style to keep the
ambience of an old working harbor. The waterfront
is South Africa's most visited tourist destination
and provides entertainment for the whole family.
The renowned and scenic Cape
wine lands provide a further attraction to the
region. There are over 13 major wine growing areas
in the Cape with some being as close as 20 minutes
drive from the city. Most estates are open for
tours and wine tasting and the region offers world-class
golf courses and spa resorts. |

The Garden Route of
the Western Cape
Adrenalin and tranquility are not usually words
used in the same sentence but the Garden Route,
a scenic half-day drive east of Cape Town, provides
a good measure of both. It is sandwiched between
glorious mountain ranges and the warm Indian Ocean.
If hiking, biking, beaches and eco adventures are
your passion then the Garden Route should not be
missed. Forest mountain trails, rugged shores and
countless sandy beaches host eco tours on foot,
by wagon, on a bike, by sea or by air. The Garden
Route is both a family vacation attraction and an
adventure destination, offering forest canopy tours,
the world’s highest commercial bungee jump,
surfing, paragliding, black water tubing and canoeing,
to mention a few. The region offers an outstanding
selection of renowned golf courses and links, for
which the Garden Route is well known internationally.
Scenic courses intertwine with indigenous forest,
shoreline and luxury estates. |

Kruger National
Park and Surrounds
The Kruger National Park and adjacent private
game reserves provide a vast and unspoiled
wildlife paradise. Flights from Johannesburg
and Cape Town link directly to the region
where our safaris will take you west of Kruger
National Park to the Sabi Sand and Timbavati
Private Game Reserves. Their unfenced borders
with Kruger National Park ensure free movement
of all the wildlife which creates an extensive
wilderness region, including large populations
of the Big 5 – rhino, elephant, leopard,
lion, and buffalo. Safari lodges provide family
comfort or luxury accommodations, with unequalled
wildlife encounters in open 4x4 land rovers.
Many lodges offer bush walks at the discretion
of the lodge manager, led by expert rangers
and trackers. |

KwaZulu Natal
The historic Kingdom of the Zulus offers numerous
attractions in the south east of South Africa, with
the Indian Ocean lapping at its shores. This region
of KwaZulu Natal was the setting for numerous historic
battles between the Zulu nation and British colonial
troops. Tours of the famous battlefields by knowledgeable
guides are available.
The sub-tropical shores of KwaZulu Natal are
a magnet to vacationers with mile upon mile of
sandy beaches. The modern city of Durban and the
adjacent north and south coast beaches are popular
with vacationers seeking sun, sand and surf, with
ample hotel accommodation, fine restaurants and
night life. For nature lovers, the unspoiled protected
beaches and wetlands in the northern parts of
the province provide a special attraction, where
turtles may be seen seasonally waddling up the
beach to lay their eggs. Night safaris to the
beach may be added to a wildlife safari in the
area. Please ask our consultants for more information
about this exciting offer.
