Cape Town, the "Mother City", is the oldest city in South Africa and has a cultural heritage spanning more than 300 years. It also has the top five national attractions in South Africa that should appear on every visitor´s itinerary. Don´t miss a visit up Table Mountain, the V&A Waterfront, Robben Island; the former home of Nelson Mandela, the Cape Town Wine Routes and Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, internationally acclaimed as one of the great botanical gardens of the world.
The Eastern Cape boasts a wealth of flora and fauna, including the "Big Five" (elephant, lion, leopard, rhino and buffalo) in a malaria-free environment. Conservation areas include the Mountain Zebra National Park and the Addo Elephant National Park. The coastal waters are rich in marine life, abundant with dolphins and the occasional whale spotted from the beaches.
The Garden Route runs along the southern Cape coast. With its Mediterranean climate the summers are moderately hot and winters are mild and chilly. This region is also one of the richest rainfall areas in South Africa, which keeps it constantly green. The lush green forests, beautiful mountains, bays and lakes makes this region a must see.
Kruger National Park, stretching north to south for 350km along the eastern border with Mozambique, contains a rich diversity of wildlife. Here you will encounter the Big 5 (lion, elephant, rhino, buffalo and leopard) among the 147 different mammal species and 493 types of birds. There are a variety of accommodation options ranging from rustic camping sites to intimate 5-star safari retreats. Adventurers can opt for a 4X4 trail or a walk on the wild side with a trained guide.
We offer a wide range of escorted tours, which are guaranteed to depart weekly, with a minimum of 2 passengers. These tours cover many of the highlights within South Africa as well as areas perhaps less well known, but certainly no less rewarding. Our concept is to offer these tours on as intimate and personal basis as possible. We use local guest houses and lodges, many family owned, wherever possible. These normally enjoy an outstanding location, as well as the added benefit of small owner-managed hospitality and friendship. These tours are limited in size to 12 passengers.
