In South Africa, the richest Sub-Saharan country, opportunities to explore this subtly diverse area whilst retaining the comforts of home are plentiful. Smooth roads offer the means to get to each location with the minimum of effort. With beautiful coastlines and stunning drives, the Garden Route from Cape Town is one of the most spectacular sights on the continent. This winding path through valleys and mountain ranges, takes in just a sliver of the variety this welcoming country can offer. With the winelands just a few hours from Cape Town, it is also good to know that exhilarating activities such as great white shark diving and game parks are all within easy reach.

Wildlife can be seen in the many national parks of South Africa. However, the Kruger National Park and its surrounds offer some of the best opportunities to see the Big Five. Spot lions, rhinos, elephants, buffalos and leopards from any of the thousands of game retreats which adorn the outback of Africa.
