Experience the unparalleled beauty and diversity of South Africa, where the Indian and Atlantic Oceans converge and warm weather prevails year-round. This extraordinary country offers a unique blend of ancient heritage and modern sophistication, with its ultra-modern cities, world-class facilities, and some of the best Game Reserves on the continent. South Africa is where history is etched in fossilized footprints and ancient rock paintings, yet it thrives with vibrant cultures, diverse landscapes, and a wealth of wildlife.
With 11 official languages and a rich tapestry of terrains, South Africa is genuinely ‘a world in one country.’ Whether exploring the famous Cape Town, savoring fine wines in the Winelands, driving along the scenic Garden Route, or embarking on a Big Five safari in the renowned reserves of Mpumalanga, there’s something for every traveler. The country’s exceptional wines, exquisite cuisine, and warm hospitality add to its charm, making it an unforgettable destination. Whether you prefer the malaria-free lodges of the Eastern Cape, the cultural richness of KwaZulu-Natal, or the iconic wildlife experiences in the Greater Kruger National Park, South Africa promises an adventure like no other.
The Greater Kruger Area is a premier safari destination celebrated for its vast wilderness, rich biodiversity, and unforgettable wildlife encounters. Covering nearly 20,000 square kilometers, this iconic region is home to the Big 5 and countless other species. Whether exploring Kruger National Park or its exclusive private reserves, the Greater Kruger Area offers an unparalleled safari experience with expertly guided game drives and breathtaking landscapes.
Luxury rail experiences like the Blue Train and Rovos Rail offer an elegant way to explore South Africa. The Blue Train, famed for its world-class service, journeys through stunning landscapes between Pretoria and Cape Town. Rovos Rail, known as “the most luxurious train in the world,” features vintage carriages and diverse routes, including safaris and trips to Victoria Falls. Both trains combine luxury, history, and breathtaking scenery, making them unforgettable ways to experience South Africa’s beauty.
Breathtaking beauty and cultural richness. A trip to the top of Table Mountain via cable car (or for the adventurous, by hiking) offers panoramic views of the city, sea, and surrounding landscapes. Wander through the colourful streets of the Bo-Kaap, visit the historic Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned, or relax on the beaches of Clifton and Camps Bay. Don’t miss visiting the V&A Waterfront for shopping, dining, and an introduction to local culture.
South Africa’s Winelands, particularly in regions like Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, and Paarl, are world-renowned for their beauty and exceptional wine. Just a short drive from Cape Town, these rolling vineyards produce some of the finest wines globally, including robust reds, crisp whites, and sparkling wines. Wine tastings are often accompanied by gourmet meals at top-notch restaurants and stunning views of mountains and vineyards. For those interested in history, many of the estates are steeped in colonial charm, with beautiful Cape Dutch architecture.
Hermanus, located along the southern coast, is one of the best spots in the world for land-based whale watching. Between June and November, southern right whales migrate to the warm waters off the South African coast to calve and nurse their young. Hermanus is famous for its Whale Festival, but the coastal cliffs offer excellent viewing points even outside this period. You can take a boat trip or even try sea kayaking for a closer encounter. In addition to whales, you may spot dolphins, seals, and a variety of seabirds.
The Garden Route is a breathtaking coastal drive stretching from Mossel Bay to Storms River, showcasing a blend of mountains, forests, and golden beaches. Stop at Plettenberg Bay for beach time or Knysna for its tranquil lagoon and waterfront. Adventure seekers can explore the forests of Tsitsikamma National Park, bungee jump from Bloukrans Bridge, or enjoy canopy tours and hiking trails. The route is known for its natural beauty, charming towns, and varied wildlife, including dolphins, whales, and birds. It’s perfect for road trips, offering endless discoveries along the way.
American citizens do not need a visa to visit South Africa for tourism or business purposes for up to 90 days. However, they must have a valid passport with at least two blank pages for entry stamps and should ensure that the passport is valid for at least 30 days beyond the exit date from South Africa.
We recommend consulting your doctor for the most current vaccination advice specific to South Africa and ensuring you’re up to date with the vaccinations recommended in your home country. You can also check the Travel.State.Gov website for additional guidance on recommended vaccinations for your trip.
From the U.S.A the only direct flight to South Africa is with South African Airways and Delta Air Lines. SAA from New York (JFK) and Washington Dulles. Delta Airlines from Atlanta. Both Air Lines fly to Johannesburg.
From most other USA Destinations (eg. Washington D.C., New York L.A., Miami or San Francisco) you can fly via a European capital with a European carrier such as British Airways, KLM, Air France or United. Alternatively some of the Middle Eastern carriers are also flying into the USA, such as Emirates and Etihad.
