South Africa

South Africa is an unmissable destination for the experienced, adventurous traveller. This beautiful country is home to beautiful beaches, incredible mountains, stunning wine regions and vineyards, and extensive game reserves overflowing with wildlife.

We explored South Africa for 3 months and our South African travel guides cover Cape Town, the winelands of Stellenbosch and Franschhoek, a road trip along the Garden Route, and safari at the Manyoni game reserve.

The question for many travellers, of course, is whether South Africa is safe to travel. We’ve covered that too.
