For the best wildlife sightings, visit Kruger and nearby private reserves in the dry winter months. Summer translates into beach days, sharing stories around a braai (barbecue), and wine tasting in the Cape – head to Stellenbosch, where the vineyards drape the rolling hills, to sip on punchy Pinotages and citrusy Chenin Blancs.

South Africa delivers one-of-a-kind moments that will forever change you: stand where our earliest ancestors once did in the Cradle of Humankind, or watch the sun set from Table Mountain. Each experience reflects the spirit of Ubuntu, a belief in shared humanity, felt in the genuine warmth and hospitality of its people.
