Our aim is to show off the unique natural and cultural diversity of what is often referred to as “A World in One Country”. Virtually the size of Europe, with over 3000 kilometers of unspoiled coastline, climatic zones ranging from searing hot deserts to cool crisp 3400m mountains - South Africa lives up to this reputation. Proudly boasting a multitude of fascinating ecosystems harbouring an infinite variety of fauna and flora as well as an equally amazing range of people and cultures - from the original Bushman to the most Western of ways, this truly is an unmatched destination. We visit the highlights, but also wander off of the beaten track to indulge in the great outdoors and to show off an array of South Africa’s hidden gems and lesser known attractions. Overnight stops are at comfortable lodges or hotels, all are in truly unique surroundings - whether in pristine reserves, high in the mountains or on a remote beach, each is carefully chosen to show off a different aspect of this captivating destination. The tour is enjoyed by those with a flexible attitude and adventurous mentality.
