Absolutely amazing holiday. Garonga is heaven! We did everything possible and our guide was brilliant and hilarious. I can definitely recommend True Travel for their excellent advice and professionalism – they clearly are very knowledgeable about where they send their clients and made sure we had a worry-free holiday that perfectly suited us. We were particular grateful for the collection off our flight and help onto our transfer in Johannesburg, which included a very nifty queue jump due to their reputation!

DIVERSE LANDSCAPES & COASTLINES
The Rainbow Nation draws visitors for its dramatic natural landscapes, excellent beaches, private tours, vibrant cities, welcoming people and extraordinary wildlife. Choose from the warm waters of the Indian Ocean to the dramatic and marine rich Atlantic coast; the burnt orange dunes of the Kalahari Desert to the safari experiences in the wildlife paradise of the St Lucia Wetlands; the high mountains of the Drakensberg, Karoo and Richtersveld to the thick bush of Limpopo Province, and so much more.
YEAR-ROUND CLIMATE
With the huge variety of climates across the country, each season guarantees different adventures on South Africa tours, meaning there is no bad time to visit South Africa. When the temperature in Cape Town drops, autumn is the perfect season to taste your way around the vineyards of the Winelands on a South Africa luxury tour. In spring, head to Hermanus or Plettenberg Bay for whale watching, or climb up Lion’s Head and the Cape Peninsula for stunning views over Table Mountain and the Atlantic Ocean. The coastal province KwaZulu Natal offers a year-round tropical climate with the warm waters of the Indian Ocean perfect for surfers looking for an African travel experience.
THE ENDLESS OUTDOORS & SAFARIS
South Africa offers endless opportunities for activities such as golfing, hiking, climbing, mountain biking, fishing, whale watching, penguin spotting, and horseback riding in a variety of settings – from forest to desert. Spend a night in safari lodges in South Africa sleeping under the stars and paraglide off Table Mountain all in the same trip. The safari areas provide first-class game viewing all year round with the opportunity to spot the Big Five on a migration safari, experience excellent guiding, stay in the most luxurious safari lodges and visit the famous Kruger National park.
VINEYARDS & TASTING TABLES
From homely ‘bunny chow’ curries to the world-class Test Kitchen, South Africans are well known for their love of food and wine, and the country offers plenty of opportunities for fine and casual dining, boasting award-winning local and international cuisine. Visit the rolling vineyards of the Cape Winelands for tastings of award-winning vintages, join Cape Town’s top chefs in foraging the freshest ingredients for your dinner, or join your local guide on a culinary tour through the colourful Bo-Kaap neighbourhood as you stay in lodges in South Africa around the area.
