As you unwind under a cloudless sky at Boulders
Beach, you won’t be able to take your eyes off the
surrounding sun worshippers. Waddling up the
beach, dipping in and out of the surf, and wandering
around the local streets – spending the day among
this colony of penguins is a memorable experience.
Spend time in thriving Cape Town, with its
beautiful beaches and hip restaurants framed by
Table Mountain; take a self-drive through the
Garden Route’s spectacular scenery; and tour the
winelands on the Western Cape, stopping to
sample some of the finest wines in the world at
famous vineyards such as those found at
picturesque Stellenbosch. And the best way to see
South Africa’s astounding landscapes Hop on a
luxurious train journey and soak up the views.
You can go on safari, spotting elephants and lions
in the world-famous Kruger National Park, or
discover one of the Eastern Cape game reserves –
malaria-free so great for families. For the
adventurous, we can take you to remote
destinations such as the Kalahari Desert and get
your adrenalin-pumping with a cage dive amongst
fearsome Great White sharks.
South Africa is breathtakingly beautiful and we’ve
searched the stunning coastline, wineries and
cosmopolitan cities to bring you the finest
selection of luxury hotels, train journeys, selfdrives,
