The Rainbow Nation has it all: flamboyant cultures, dramatic scenery, diverse wildlife and an easy-going atmosphere. This, together with world renowned restaurants, graceful hotels and a great climate, makes South African holidays perennial favourites that many return to year after year.
A holiday to South Africa with Abercrombie & Kent is the way to really experience this fascinating country. Exclusive access to people, places and wildlife makes our South African holidays truly special. Try spotting whales, dolphins and great white sharks from the air, or head into the winelands for a private wine tasting followed by chef table dining at one of the region's superb restaurants.
A&K South African 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 great for families, 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.
Finally, 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.
