Tailor-made trips to South Africa from €4.500 per person — indicative.
South Africa is many worlds in one country. A true rainbow nation, where cultures live side by side — each with its own traditions, language, history and cuisine. In a single journey you move from vibrant city life to panoramic coastal routes, from endless beaches and terracotta mountains to waterfalls, desert, rivers, fynbos fields and bush.
In and around the cities you’ll find a lively community of makers: artists of all kinds, craftspeople, dancers. This is modern Africa — alive and full of energy.
We don’t sell a country. We start from what makes a place special, and build your journey around that.
Who is South Africa suited to?
South Africa suits travellers who want variety: nature and wildlife, beautiful coastlines, winelands, good gastronomy and lively cities. It’s also one of the most accessible destinations for a first trip to Africa — with good infrastructure, short flight connections between regions and a favourable exchange rate.
What is the best time to travel to South Africa?
South Africa can be travelled year-round; the best period depends on what you’re looking for.
- November–April (southern summer): warm and sunny at the Cape. Ideal for Cape Town, the Winelands, the Garden Route and the beaches.
- May–September (winter): dry and cooler in the northeast. The best time for wildlife: vegetation is low and animals gather around waterholes.
- June–November: whale season along the south coast, with Hermanus as the best-known spot.
How many days do you need?
For a first taste, two to three weeks is ideal. In ten days you’ll experience one region well; with two weeks you can combine, for example, Cape Town, the Garden Route and a safari — with enough rest along the way. We’d rather plan a little less, but truly lived, than an overloaded schedule.
Which regions do you combine?
- Cape Town & the Cape Peninsula — Table Mountain, the Cape of Good Hope, the penguins of Boulders Beach.
- The Winelands — Stellenbosch and Franschhoek: wine, gastronomy and Cape Dutch architecture.
- The Garden Route — a coastal route with forests, lagoons, whales and beaches.
- The Panorama Route & Kruger — dramatic views and the classic Big Five safari.
- The Eastern Cape, Drakensberg or Wild Coast — malaria-free reserves, mountains and unspoilt coast.
These regions combine smoothly into one continuous, tailor-made journey, with internal flights to bridge long distances.
What nature and wildlife can you expect?
South Africa offers the classic Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino) in the Kruger area and the private reserves around it. Along the coast you can spot whales and dolphins in season; on the peninsula live African penguins. The fynbos of the Cape is one of the richest plant kingdoms in the world.
Self-drive or guided?
South Africa is excellent for self-driving: good roads, clear signposting and short distances between many highlights (you drive on the left). If you’d rather be looked after, we combine self-driving with guided game drives, private guides or internal flights. Either works — we match it to your pace and comfort.
Is South Africa suitable for families?
Yes. South Africa is well suited to families with children thanks to short distances between some highlights, family-friendly lodges and varied activities. For young children we often choose malaria-free game reserves.
How do you combine South Africa with other countries?
South Africa is an ideal base. You can easily combine it with the Victoria Falls, with a safari in Botswana, or with the desert landscapes of Namibia — all within one tailor-made journey.
