Cape Town
Cape Town – as we often say, one of the best combinations of mountains, beaches, vineyards and city life in the world – is another of those places where you can spend the morning climbing up Table Mountain, and the afternoon down on the beach with a drink in hand. Bo-Kaap is a great area to wander around the colorful streets and take in the atmosphere, whilst there are plenty of other areas of town to explore too, such as the city’s many coasts. The drive out of town is also great, with so many different areas to explore.
Kruger National Park
Kruger National Park is a fantastic place to experience the African bush up close and personal. Early morning game drives are the best time to look for wildlife, and you never know what you might see. On some game drives it can feel like nothing is happening, then suddenly there are elephants crossing the road, a leopard disappears into the grass or you see lions lying by the side of the road. Keep your eyes open and have your camera ready!
Winelands
The Cape Winelands is dangerously beautiful and is so easy to fall in love with. Within minutes of driving through the vineyards of the Winelands you are surrounded by mountains, and the next thing you know you are sitting under an old oak tree enjoying a long lunch. The towns of Stellenbosch and Franschhoek and the surrounding wine country are perfect places to unwind, taste some of the local wines and enjoy some of the best farm to plate food that South Africa has to offer. Whether you are a wine lover or not the scenery, historic towns and relaxed atmosphere of the Winelands is more than enough to explore.
Garden Route
The Garden Route is an ideal road trip through forests, beaches, lagoons, coastal towns and dramatic cliffs. One of the best things about the Garden Route is that there are so many things to do and places to stop along the way. Whether you are looking for an activity such as kayaking, hiking, ziplining or bungee jumping, or simply looking for somewhere to stop and admire the view, the Garden Route has it all. The only problem is that there is so much to see and do that you may find yourself with too many days to spend in one place.
Madikwe
Madikwe is a wonderful place to feel away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. On early morning game drives as the sun is coming up, you have no idea what you will encounter as you drive through this big, beautiful wilderness. Elephants, rhino, lion, buffalo, wild dogs and many more animals can be seen on drives. It is wonderful to sit in the bush and listen to the sounds of nature around you, and sometimes you can even forget about your phone for hours on end. Zero mosquitos and no lathering on Citronella cream Now that’s a holiday!
KwaZulu-Natal
The diverse experiences found in the vast landscape of KwaZulu-Natal can be difficult to describe in a single sentence. For us, KwaZulu-Natal provides an opportunity to experience beautiful beaches, dramatic mountains, rich Zulu culture, historical battlefields, wetlands and so much more, often within a single trip. KwaZulu-Natal is a destination that requires much curiosity and a desire for diversity. We recommend exploring the many different aspects of this incredible region, and speaking with the locals along the way.
Panorama Route
The Panorama Route is a drive where you find yourself constantly saying ‘Oh, can we stop again?’ because of the incredible views you get to see every few kilometres. The road winds its way up through towering cliffs, with waterfalls and deep green valleys below. It is a stunning drive with so many spectacular viewpoints along the way. God’s Window and the Blyde River Canyon are two of our favorite spots. They offer some of the most breathtaking views in the world and are perfect for spending some quiet time taking in the incredible scenery. Take your time, enjoy the drive and let the scenery speak for itself.
