How to choose your trip to South Africa
South Africa is one of the continent's most popular destinations. Tours focus on the famous Garden Route (along the country's southern coast and the Cape) or the wildlife parks, indigenous culture and historical sites of the eastern provinces, with many comprehensive tours encompassing both regions also available. Hiking tours are available on the dramatic Drakensburg Mountains near Lesotho. South Africa is also a key part of overland itineraries, at the start or end of journeys throughout southern Africa or all the way north to Zanzibar, Nairobi and the gorillas.
