Regions of South Africa

South Africa contains an astonishing variety of landscape.

South Africa is an old favourite with so many different types of traveller. The country has so much to offer in the way of scenery, food, culture, music, incredible untouched islands connected by boats and planes as well as the extensive mainland which can be driven across and combined with any number of beach paradises.

The main reason families holiday in South Africa are the beautiful, dreamy beaches with charming waterfront hotels offering extensive water sports and sea adventures. Villa rentals are another way to go and have become far more popular over the past 10 years but we are able to offer more than just a holiday on a beach.
