South Africa has to be one of the ultimate holiday destinations in the world today!

Africa is synonymous with wild animals, it’s the first thing that comes to mind when people think of Africa, that and loads of sunshine of course! Well, South Africa has wild animals including The Big Five and of course plenty of sunshine too but we have a whole load more: Fantastic accommodation, excellent restaurants, world class vineyards and wines, magnificent landscapes, fantastic shopping, Safari’s in reserves offering luxurious lodges, great entertainment for the children, beaches, forests, an interesting history and a colorful democracy! All waiting for you under the biggest, blue, African sky!

Whether you choose to kick back, relax and indulge in a holiday filled with nothing but good food and wine or if you prefer the more adventurous vacation, filled with Great White Shark viewing, forest canopy excursions and a Safari, South Africa will offer it all!

Children are well catered for too, restaurants welcome young guests, warm weather ensures hours of playtime on the numerous pristine beaches, Safari programs accommodate children of all ages, some in Malaria free reserves (no medication required) Aquariums offer interactive displays which educate and enthrall little minds and even the wine lands offer children (and adults!) the opportunity to have a close encounter with cheetah’s. If that’s not enough to keep them occupied, then there are theme parks, water slides, surfing, swimming, hiking, horse riding, cycling and plenty more…

No trip to South Africa is ever complete without an excursion to one of the many game reserves positioned in the north east around the Kruger Park area or in the malaria free Eastern cape region.A superb infrastructure makes going on safari an easy undertaking with the parks being very well organized, with well surfaced roads and excellent accommodation. Tourists have the choice of self drive safari or being part of an organized guided safari with professional rangers. One of the major benefits of going on safari in South Africa is that it never suffers from overcrowding like many of the east African countries.

South Africa’s exchange rate is very kind to overseas visitors and ensures that your holiday is not only excellent value for money, but also ensures that you have spending power when on our shores. There’s plenty to spend your money on in S.A, world class boutiques, great local designers, fantastic shoe shops, extensive jewelry showrooms – all located in light, airy and sophisticated malls. There are also many wonderful open air markets offering local arts and crafts and the obligatory “curios!” South Africa offers quality merchandise at affordable prices, from clothing to wines to diamonds; you will be spoilt for choice.

While the ladies shop, there’s golf for the gentlemen, from coast to coast, the courses are scenically beautiful and challenging. S.A offers the golfer a varied selection of courses from rugged links courses to the tranquil surroundings of the wine lands courses expertly laid out in the vineyards of the wine valleys. Pro shops cater to your every need from clubs to balls, caddies to carts and half way snacks. Summer sunshine ensures that you can play all day long!

At the end of each day, whether it was an adventurous outing, golf, shopping, swimming or touring, you will be able to rest and relax, take in the last rays of the day and get ready for an evening of outstanding service and varied menu’s at one of the many restaurants available to you.
