The Rainbow Nation has it all: flamboyant cultures, dramatic scenery, diverse wildlife and an easy-going atmosphere. This, together with superb restaurants, elegant hotels and a great climate, make a South Africa holiday a perennial favourite, with many people returning year after year.
A holiday to South Africa with Abercrombie & Kent is the best way to experience this fascinating country. With exclusive access to people, places and wildlife, our South Africa holidays stand out from the crowd. Try spotting whales, dolphins and great white sharks from the air, head into the Winelands for a private wine tasting followed by chef table dining at one of the region's excellent restaurants, or spend a few nights in Cape Town to experience the lively cosmopolitan buzz of the Victoria and Alfred waterfront with Table Mountain as a backdrop.
A&K South Africa holidays are as colourful and exciting as the country itself.
Explore the Western Cape vineyards that carpet the rolling landscapes of Franschhoek, Paarl and Stellenbosch. The celebrated Garden Route follows Africa's southern coast along windswept cliffs, sandy bays, sheltered forests and mountains - perfect for nature lovers.
The Eastern Cape is ideal for families wanting a South Africa safari, offering the unique opportunity to see the 'Big Five' in a malaria-free environment. KwaZulu Natal offers much for any visitor, whether exceptional fishing, walking and hiking in the Drakensberg or a visit to the battlefields of the Anglo Zulu wars - not to mention some of the best game viewing in the country at the exclusive Umfolozi and Hluhluwe and Mkuzi game reserves.
Mpumalanga has stunning mountain ranges, but is best known for the Kruger National Park and the adjacent game reserves of the Sabi Sands, Timbavati and Manyeleti - arguably one of the best places to see the elusive leopard and wide-open African skies on a South Africa safari.
Madikwe Game Reserve is also ideal for a South Africa safari. Situated in the far north of the North West Province, it is one of the largest game reserves in South Africa with areas of open plains and woodland and is divided by escarpments, which makes it an incredibly diverse area for the beautiful animals that live there.
