South Africa truly is a Rainbow Nation that has it all! From its welcoming people and spectacular landscapes to incredible beaches and the fascinating Karoo, this country is a traveller’s dream. Home to an abundance of wildlife, including the Big Five on safari and penguins wandering through neighbourhood streets, South Africa captures your heart and imagination from the start. This diverse nation has something for everyone: stunning natural beauty, incredible wildlife, delicious cuisine, vibrant cities, and a rich, complex history well worth exploring.

The Garden Route is one of the most beautiful regions in South Africa. The dramatic coastline of Tsitsikamma National Park and the beautiful Knysna lagoon are some of the highlights, but the whole of the coastline east of Cape Town is stunning, with plenty of wildlife, including amazing whale watching in Hermanus.
