SOUTH AFRICA
Encounter the Spectacular Wildlife
in a Land of Exquisite Beauty
South Africa is an exceptional place. From its inviting people and rich culture to its striking landscapes and wildly diverse flora and fauna, this is a destination that should not be missed. Cape Town is widely considered the “Carmel” of Africa offering a combination of natural beauty, sophisticated dining and shopping and rewarding day trips offering the visitor everything from fine wines to the history of Nelson Mandel’s imprisonment and leadership of his nation. South Africa’s game viewing opportunities are truly incredible and the safari regions around Kruger might just be the best in the world! Having traveled there extensively, we know these areas very well and will happily offer you guidance and advice in selecting the best safari vacation for you and your family!
