South Africa Tours & Vacations

The whole ‘country of contrasts’ thing has become a bit of a cliche

But what else do you call a place where (in a three-week period) you could happily slalom between penguins waddling on the Cape and lions stalking the bushveld, cinematic coastal switchbacks and burnt Kalahari sand, the oldest wine industry outside   Europe   and cutting-edge fusion cuisine? ‘Contrast’, doesn’t really do South Africa justice. The beauty of a South Africa tour (besides the peace of mind that comes with an expert local guide) is being able to fit so much   Africa   into so little time. From the Stellenbosch winelands to Kruger , Blyde River and beyond, this is a place where you can take your   safari   with a side of espresso.

Best time to visit south africa.

South Africa is an excellent year-round destination. Winters are mild, dry and good for wildlife viewing. Summers can get very hot and humid but are a great time for visiting beaches and festivals. Spring is a great time for viewing wildflowers in the Northern and Western Cape provinces, and very little rain falls anywhere in autumn, but the days are warm and the nights cool. Overall, there’s always a good time to head to South Africa.

Culture and customs

South Africa’s culture is one of the most diverse in the world. From indigenous tribes like the Zulu, San Bushmen and Xhosa to the Afrikaners of Dutch heritage, and immigrants of British descent, visitors will be able to experience a magnificent melting pot of customs and traditions. The significant Indian and Jewish populations also add to the ethnic mix. From the proud, beaded Zulu warriors that have inhabited the land for centuries to newly arrived immigrants from   Europe   and   Asia , South Africa’s culture has been shaped by millions of people. 

The cuisine is generally a combination of Indian, Dutch, English and tribal flavors and techniques, while dress can range from modern fashion in the big cities to simple traditional, tribal dress in the bush. Although South Africa has made significant inroads towards peace and reconciliation since the end of apartheid, racial tensions are sometimes evident, and it is generally best not to contribute to this in any way. Overall, most travelers will find South Africans to be welcoming, appreciative of your visit and ready to share their homeland and stories.

Eating and drinking

Intrepid believes that one of the best ways to experience a country is by eating! Whether you're sampling street food, savoring a cheap eat or indulging in a banquet, there are endless options to choose from wherever you are in the world.

Foods to try in South Africa

South Africa is fast becoming one of the most interesting wine producing regions in the world. Quality has risen steeply in the past decade so if you’re visiting the Stellenbosch Wine Region, be sure to sample some fine reds, which are world-class.

With such easy access to the Indian Ocean and Southern Atlantic, South Africa boasts some of the best seafood dining experiences you’ll ever have. From an indulgent oyster platter at a Cape Town restaurant to a spicy seafood curry in Durban, the seafood here is fresh, cheap and flavorsome.

Biltong tends to divide people. Some find this preserved, spiced meat snack impossible to refuse and others simply can’t stomach it. Either way, it’s extremely popular and readily available in markets, supermarkets and shops throughout South Africa.

4. Boerewors

Another one for the meat-lovers, this coiled, spicy sausage is a South African delicacy best done on the barbecue. Flavored with coriander, cloves and nutmeg, this is a meat born from South African and Dutch traditions.

Geography and environment

South Africa showcases one of the most diverse and stunning natural environments in the world. Visitors are able to soak up golden rays on sun-drenched beaches, journey through acre upon acre of dry savannah, admire lush, green meadows, walk through tropical forest and stop to take in views of wide, ancient canyons. It’s also possible to stroll the streets of an urban city one day and meander along a dirt track passing small farms and villages the next. South Africa truly is a land of contrasts, and this begins with the landscapes and environment. 

Located on the tip of Southern Africa, South Africa shares land borders with Botswana, Mozambique, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Lesotho and Swaziland. It also shares a long stretch of coastline with the Indian and South Atlantic Oceans. The topography of the land changes remarkably around the country, from the lofty plateaus of the inland region to the low-lying coast and mountainous ranges of the Cape. This variance in topography makes South Africa rich in many species of flora and fauna, something that attracts many tourists and travelers from all over the world.

History and government

Early history.

The land of South Africa has been inhabited for centuries by tribes hailing from different areas of the African continent, including the San and Bantu people. Most tribes relied on hunting and gathering, but gradually were introduced to agriculture and animal husbandry over the years. From around 1200 AD, the tribal people of South Africa started to become influenced by outsiders, including Muslim traders, the Portuguese and the Dutch, who established a settlement in the mid 1600s. 

The Dutch continued to dominate the country until the 1800s, when the British became interested in the Cape Colony. During this time, the native population had become increasingly dissatisfied with being marginalized and treated poorly by their European colonizers. Many native people were used as slaves on plantations and were treated brutally by their ‘employers’ and many resented losing their land, culture and traditional way of life. Further to this, the Dutch descendants (known as Boers) didn’t appreciate the arrival of the British in a territory they had inhabited for years before their arrival. This frustration and anger regularly resulted in confrontation and armed conflict between the British, Boers and Zulus, culminating in a series of wars – most notably the Boer Wars.

Recent history

More recently, South Africa has managed to overcome the Apartheid era, a time where discrimination of black people was legalized. Until 1994, black people were unable to legally own land or vote in elections. Further to this, education, healthcare, beaches and public places like cinemas were segregated. During this time, South Africa was ruled and controlled by the white minority, much to the dissatisfaction of the black population and ultimately, the world. After much international pressure and many attempts at reform, the Apartheid era was finally ended in 1994, with Nelson Mandela stepping up to lead the nation as President. Due to this challenging history, modern day South Africa has many social issues to work on and resolve, but many of its people are filled with hope and optimism. In 2010, South Africa successfully hosted the FIFA World Cup, much to the delight of its citizens and the world.

Top 10 places of South Africa

1. drakensberg mountains.

Use your wide-angle lens to capture the majestic Drakensberg Mountain Range in all its panoramic glory. This impressive mountain range is the highest in Southern Africa and provides a wide and wonderful scope for impressive postcard-worthy shots.

2. Stellenbosch

Rolling green pastures, vineyards and orchards combine to create classic photo moments straight out of a guidebook. This cultured and charming area showcases a different side to South Africa, and will no doubt have people guessing where your photo was taken.

This quaint seaside town located on South Africa’s Garden Route is one of the most photogenic in Africa. Whether you’re snapping the boats in the harbor, the dolphins frolicking in the waves or the wild and rocky coast, it’s hard not to snap Knysna in a good light.

Fans of street art will love capturing the murals and memorials of spirited Soweto. The gritty urban landscapes and candid faces make it simple to capture the soul of this endearing, inspiring community.

This gem of the South African Coast has retained a village atmosphere despite its growing popularity with tourists. The beaches, bays and rock pools provide sensational photography moments, especially at dawn and dusk when the sun gives off incredible, moody light.

6. Cape Town

Easily one of the most picturesque cities in the world, Cape Town has some of the most photo-worthy landscapes in the world. From breathtaking Table Mountain to the stunning coast and beautiful beaches, Cape Town has profound natural beauty coming at you from every angle.

Sure, Durban’s beaches are special but the interesting mix of Indian, Muslim, African and European influences makes for great photography. Durban’s cultural cornucopia of markets, mosques and galleries offers rich fodder for snap-happy travelers looking to capture a different side of Africa.

8. Lamberts Bay

The tremendously large colony of Cape Gannet birds who live off Lamberts Bay is often photographed - and with good reason. The sight of hundreds of birds tightly packed into a small space against a backdrop of azure ocean provides a unique, snap-worthy photo subject.

9. Blyde River Canyon

This canyon is every bit as stunning as America’s Grand Canyon, yet in a different way. Lush greenery grows over most of the area and a diverse range of animal and plant life is supported within its deep cliffs and valleys. It’s difficult to take a bad photo here, as Mother Nature has kindly provided a near perfect canvas.

10. Kruger National Park

This iconic national park has some of the ‘most-photographed’ animals in the world. Visitors love capturing shots of lions hunting prey, elephants drinking at waterholes and cheetahs sleeping under trees. Mesmerizing amber sunsets and rolling savanna only add to the atmospheric magic of it all.

Highlights of South Africa

Brimming with golden beaches and glitzy nightlife, Durban is the perfect coastal city to catch some rays or sample South African cuisine in between your adventures. Try the city's famous bunny chow, take a scenic stroll along the Golden Mile promenade or learn about traditional African medicine at the Durban Muthi Market.

2. Johannesburg

Feel the buzz of urban Africa in Joburg, South Africa's largest city. Check out the cultural hotspots of Newtown, Braamfontein, or Maboneng; learn about the country's sobering past at the Apartheid Museum, or venture outside the city to the Cradle of Humankind to see some of the oldest fossilized hominid remains on Earth.

3. Cape Town

Be captivated by the beautiful coast-meets-mountain landscapes of Cape Town. Hit up the city's famous Camps Bay to bask in the sun and swim in a natural rock swimming pool, hike to the top of Table Mountain for incredible views, admire the colourful buildings in Bo Kaap neighbourhood or watch life go by in one of the city's quirky cafes.

4. Stellenbosch

The Stellenbosch wine region is the place to be to sample the country's most delicious drops. Surrounded by lush orchards and rugged mountains, it's a beautiful place to soak up the scenery while enjoying a glass (or two) of the region’s world-class reds.

5. Kruger National Park

Welcome to one of the largest game reserves in Southern Africa. Home to over 500 bird species, 100 species of reptile and 150 mammal species (including the Big Five and the endangered African wild dog), you have a pretty good chance of spotting some of South Africa's resident wildlife while on safari here.

From the provincial markets of sleepy towns, through the malls of Johannesburg and to the galleries and cafes of Cape Town, there are many options for parting with money in South Africa. From budget market souvenirs to more indulgent bespoke buys, visitors will be pleased with the variety on offer here.

It's a good idea to check with your local customs officials to ensure that you are able to bring certain items back into your home country. United States generally has strict customs laws.

Things to buy in South Africa

1. Zulu beads

Zulu beadwork acts as a form of communication for Zulu people but visitors are usually drawn to buy beads for their vibrancy and visual appeal. Necklaces, bracelets and head pieces are particularly popular.

2. Township art

This urban art form involves recycling common landfill items like soft drink cans, telephone wire, paper and tires, and turning them into jewelry, ornaments, key rings, bags and toys. Township art makes a unique souvenir or gift as it supports local artists and keeps excess waste out of landfill.

3. Gourmet goodies

The Cape area has loads of amazing purveyors and food producers, so this is the best place to stock up on chutneys, jams and preserves made from local mango, fig, oranges and grapes.

4. Rooibos products

This caffeine-free herbal tea has been drunk in South Africa for generations, and is a cheap souvenir option for friends and family back home. You will also be able to find rooibos skincare and beauty products too.

Festivals and events

Freedom Day

This national public holiday commemorates the anniversary of South Africa’s constitution democracy – a very important sentiment to Africans living in the post-apartheid world. Marked by military flyovers, song, dance and other entertainment, this is a time of celebration, peace and unity.

Cape Town Jazz Festival

Cape Town shines with two days of hot jazz performances from African entertainers at this very popular festival. Although many of the shows sell out well in advance, the free outdoor concert ensures no one misses out.

Knysna Oyster Festival

This annual festival held over 10 days in winter offers so much more than oysters. Sure, indulge in some oysters but don’t forget about the fun runs, marathons, wine tastings, eating competitions, live music and cooking demos.

Human Rights Day

Workers' Day

National Women's Day

Heritage Day

Day of Reconciliation

See elephants chewing on mopane trees, wildebeest running through open savanna, and big cats lurking in the grass.

Take in the cosmopolitan spirit of Cape Town

From the slopes of Table Mountain to the rocky Atlantic shoreline, a tour of Cape Town is one of the best things to do in South Africa. Our Local Specialists will show you the sprawling City Bowl, the golden vineyards of the Cape Winelands, and the spectacular Cape Peninsula.

Enjoy the views of the Drakensberg Mountains

The Drakensberg Mountains are the highest peaks in South Africa, towering up to 1,422 feet. We’ll explore this UNESCO-listed Site, with magnificent views and rock art dating back several thousand years. You’ll also have the chance to join a 4x4 Sani Pass drive, for lunch at Africa's highest pub in Lesotho.

Connect with Swazi culture in a local Chief's village

We’ll travel to beautiful eSwatini, where your South Africa guide will show you around a Swazi Chief's village. You’ll see their traditional crimson dress, sample some local cuisine such as pap (cornmeal porridge) and meat and vegetable stew, and gain a deeper understanding of the community's way of life.

Go up the Table Mountain by Cable Car

Soaring 3,558 feet to form a flat-topped peak, Table Mountain is one of the most iconic South Africa attractions. We’ll take you to the top in a cableway, where you’ll discover bright Cape fynbos, the curious rock hyrax, and panoramic views of the City Bowl and Atlantic Seaboard.

Our top 5 things to do in South Africa

We’ll show you what to do in South Africa, from searching for the Big Five in Kruger National Park, to ascending Table Mountain for breathtaking views over Cape Town.

Iziko South African Museum, Cape Town

Founded in 1825 in the historic Company’s Gardens, the South African Museum houses extensive collections of natural history, zoology and archaeology. There are more than 1.5 million specimens in the museum, ranging from 700-million year old fossils, to stone tools made 120,000 years ago.

Apartheid Museum, Johannesburg

The Apartheid Museum commemorates the era of racial segregation in South America, providing a chilling insight into the apartheid system and sharing moving stories of the fight for democracy. You can easily spend a few hours here, taking in the wealth of information on this dark period.

Nelson Mandela Metropolitan Art Museum, Port Elizabeth

Originally opened in 1956, this museum was renamed in 2002 in honor of Nelson Mandela. It houses a fantastic collection of South African art, along with international pieces. You can see artworks from the Eastern Cape, British art, Chinese textiles, Indian miniatures and international printmaking.

Best museums in South Africa

Our South Africa travel experiences take you to the country’s superb museums, from the moving Apartheid Museum in Johannesburg, to the vast historic collections of the Iziko South African Museum.

As South Africa’s favorite snack, you’ll find biltong throughout the country, from markets to restaurants. Biltong is made from cured meat, usually beef and game, and is served in dried slices, spiced with herbs. In South Africa, game refers to the animals of the bush like ostrich, kudu, impala and wildebeest.

South African biryani is a traditional dish originating from the Cape Malay culture. It’s made with lentils, meat like goat or chicken, vegetables like tomatoes and potatoes, and seasonings like garam masala, turmeric and chilli powder. It’s served with parboiled rice for a hearty meal.

Amasi is a popular dairy snack in South Africa, made from unpasteurised cow's milk stored in a calabash container to allow it to ferment. The thick liquid that remains tastes like plain yoghurt and is traditionally served in a clay pot, or poured over pap porridge.

Best Food in South Africa

South Africa food is wonderfully diverse and our Local Specialists will show you all the best places to taste the classics, from dried biltong to warm biryani.

What to pack for South Africa

Pack for sustainable travel

Consider your environmental impact when you next take a trip and go single-use-plastic-free by packing a reusable water bottle, a steel straw, your own shopping bags and refillable toiletry bottles.

Adaptor plug

In South Africa, the standard voltage is 230 V and the power plugs and sockets are of type D, M and N. The standard frequency is 50 Hz.

Bring your binoculars for wildlife spotting when we take you on a private safari through Kruger National Park, one of the best destinations for wildlife viewing in all of Africa.

Sunscreen & sunglasses

You’ll be much closer to the equator when you travel to South Africa, so you’ll need to protect your skin and eyes with strong sunscreen and UV protected sunglasses.

South Africa is known for its spectacular beaches, so pack a swimsuit if you’d like to take a dip in the Indian or Atlantic Oceans that border the country.

Versatile clothing

From the dusty savannah and sunny vineyards, to the chilly mountains and windy coastline, you’ll need a range of versatile clothing when you visit South Africa.

Popolazione 3,776 ml

Dominata dalla cima della Table Mountain, Cape Town è una metropoli multiculturale ed affascinante in continuo fermento: dalla rinascita di quartieri industriali grazie alla street art agli edifici vittoriani, dai mercati alimentari tradizionali ai negozi di design afro-chic, è una città tutta da scoprire. Punto di partenza per numerose escursioni, da quella per Robben Island a quella per il Capo di Buona Speranza, Cape Town è una città capace di regalare grandi emozioni.

Area 19485.00 km ²

Il parco più celebre del Sudafrica è chiamato dai locali “Wildtuin”, Giardino selvaggio. In circa 20 mila chilometri quadrati ospita ogni tipo di animale, compresi i “big five”: elefante, rinoceronte, leone, leopardo e bufalo, in habitat diversi che vanno dalla savana alla foresta. Un vero e proprio paradiso per i safari, da esplorare in autonomia o con uscite organizzate che si tengono all’alba e al tramonto e danno maggior possibilità di avvistamento degli animali.

Area 17.03 km ²

Popolazione 5.610

Da tranquillo villaggio di pescatori a capitale mondiale del whale watching: la piccola cittadina di Hermanus si è trasformata negli anni in un piacevole centro molto vivace, ricco di ristoranti e negozi. Da giugno a dicembre si assiste qui al passaggio delle balene australi: a settembre si tiene l’animatissimo Hermanus Whale Festival, che attira moltissimi turisti. Le balene si osservano soprattutto dai meravigliosi sentieri panoramici a strapiombo sulla costa, raggiungibili dalla cittadina.

Area 251.00 km ²

Popolazione 967.677

La città più importante della zona del Capo Orientale è chiamata anche Città dell’Amicizia: la sua spiaggia, Algoa Bay, è la capitale sudafricana degli sport acquatici. Dal surf al kite, dallo snorkeling alla vela, sono 40 km di litorale baciato dal sole tutto l’anno dove potersi dedicare ad ogni tipo di attività. Port Elizabeth è il punto di partenza per le escursioni nel vicino Addo Elephant National Park, dove vivono oltre 600 elefanti africani.

Area 2292.00 km ²

Popolazione 595.061

Durban, capitale della cultura Zulu, è una delle città più frizzanti e cosmopolite del Sudafrica, grazie alla sua storia particolare. Inglesi, boeri e indiani si sono avvicendati in questa città che oggi riflette questo mix di culture, in cui bistrot francesi si intervallano a moschee e templi indù a campi da cricket, mescolati con un’atmosfera africana. Il suo centro è un misto di edifici vittoriani e palazzi Art Deco, la sua spiaggia è un invito al relax o al surf.

Cosa fare e vedere in Sudafrica

A tu per tu coi pinguini.

Tra i massi di granito della paradisiaca spiaggia di Boulders Beach vivono più di 2000 pinguini africani: in alcune piccole calette è possibile nuotare accanto a loro.

Sulle orme dei Big Five

Leone, Rinoceronte, Elefante, Leopardo e Bufalo: i safari con gli incontri ravvicinati con questi maestosi animali nel loro habitat naturale lasciano letteralmente senza fiato.

Ricordando Nelson Mandela

Visitare Robben Island, luogo di detenzione di Mandela e oggi simbolo di memoria e di speranza, significa immergersi nella tormentata storia di questo paese.

Affacciati alla “Finestra di Dio”

Si chiama God’s Window il punto di osservazione più scenografico di tutto il Sudafrica: da 700 metri di altezza il panorama sul Blyde River Canyon è semplicemente incredibile.

Le panoramiche strade del vino

Addentrarti nel Boland, in una terra che regala vini straordinari, tra cittadine con edifici storici dal fascino senza tempo dove provare straordinarie esperienze enogastronomiche.

Il canto delle balene

I giganti del mare migrano ogni anno dai mari dell’Antartide per partorire i loro piccoli: osservarne la danza da una scogliera a picco sull’oceano è un’esperienza indimenticabile.

Periodo migliore per andare  in Sudafrica

Cartorange consiglia

  = mesi e consigli green

• Tra agosto e settembre la zona arida del Namaqualand si trasforma in un rigoglioso giardino fiorito: lo spettacolo unico di una distesa infinita di margherite arancioni dalle diverse sfumature che si aprono all’alba e si chiudono nel tardo pomeriggio
• Da giugno a novembre è il periodo perfetto per vedere le balene che migrano dall’Antartico: lungo la strada costiera chiamata Cape Whale Route si incontrano pittoresche cittadine ideali per l’avvistamento. La più celebre è Hermanus
• Da giugno a settembre è la stagione ideale per i safari: nella stagione secca la vegetazione è scarsa e gli animali possono essere avvistati con più facilità, poiché si concentrano intorno alle pozze d’acqua
• Tra novembre e maggio il clima è perfetto per visitare Cape Town e la zona delle Winelands e per percorrere la Garden Route, lungo la costa meridionale del Paese. Le giornate sono lunghe e soleggiate, l’ideale per scoprire questi incredibili panorami

In Sudafrica il clima è temperato e subtropicale ed è caratterizzato da due stagioni:

- la stagione secca che va da aprile a ottobre

- la stagione delle piogge che va da novembre a marzo

La stagione secca è la migliore per un safari e per imbattersi con più facilità nei cosiddetti "Big five" : elefante, leone, rinoceronte nero, leopardo e bufalo.

Guida di viaggio in Sudafrica

Cose da sapere prima di andare in Sudafrica: info utili

Safari in sudafrica: prezzi e cosa sapere.

Un viaggio in Sudafrica è sinonimo soprattutto di safari: le possibilità per vivere l’emozione di un incontro ravvicinato con gli animali nel loro habitat naturale sono praticamente infinite. 

Il Sudafrica ha più di 300 parchi nazionali e riserve: il più celebre, e più antico, è l’immenso Parco Kruger : in un’area vasta come lo stato di Israele ospita ben sei ecosistemi con diversi tipi di vegetazione e moltissimi mammiferi, tra cui i cosiddetti “Big FiIve”. All’interno del parco sono moltissime le possibilità di alloggio, dai cottage lussuosi alle sistemazioni più spartane. Il safari all’interno del parco può essere anche effettuato in autonomia l’auto, poiché la rete viaria è ottima. Chi preferisce un safari organizzato avrà però maggiori possibilità di avvistamento, poiché le guide del parco possono percorrere altri sentieri.

Nelle zone confinanti con il Parco Kruger sono moltissime le riserve private che offrono sistemazioni di ottimo livello e safari con gruppi limitati di persone, con maggiori possibilità di avvicinarsi agli animali.

Le opportunità di vedere la fauna selvatica da vicino durante un tour in Sudafrica sono innumerevoli, anche in zone meno conosciute. L’ Addo Elephant Park si trova nella zona dell ’Eastern Cape , che è il territorio dove si possono incontrare non solo i “Big Five” ma addirittura i “Big Seven”, ovvero i grandi mammiferi più la balena e lo squalo bianco. Il parco, dove vivono più di 600 elefanti, si estende fino a comprendere il gruppo delle isole St.Croix, che ospita numerose specie di uccelli e una colonia di pinguini.

L’ Isimangaliso Wetland Park si trova invece nella provincia di KwaZulu-Natal ed è un meraviglioso parco poco visitato durante i viaggi in Sudafrica : per questo è un ambiente ancora incontaminato, dove si possono incontrare anche numerosi ippopotami, coccodrilli e tartarughe. La presenza della barriera corallina regala le immersioni più belle del Sudafrica. Il parco è nei pressi della vivace città di Durban , con il suo lungomare animato che corre lungo una spiaggia dorata dove rilassarsi o dedicarsi al surf.

Parlando di meraviglie naturali le cose da vedere in Sudafrica sono praticamente infinite: un territorio dai panorami mozzafiato è il Mpumalanga , dove si trova il Blyde River Canyon . Cascate, fiumi, formazioni rocciose di arenaria, montagne con una vegetazione lussureggiante si possono ammirare da affacci a strapiombo che regalano vedute uniche al mondo: i punti panoramici più suggestivi sono God’s Window e Three Rondavels.

Anche la Garden Route , nel sud del Paese, regala vedute meravigliose. La strada si snoda per 700 km lungo la costa dell’Oceano Indiano fino alla città di Port Elizabeth . Lungo il tragitto meritano una sosta la cittadina di Oudtshoorn , capitale mondiale degli struzzi, e Kynsna , celebre per le ostriche. A Knysna Kynsna si trova anche un parco particolare, il Knysna Elephant Park , che accoglie e cura elefanti africani orfani o provenienti dai circhi. Non dimenticare una breve sosta a Cape Agulhas , per vedere il punto più a sud del continente, dove si incontrano l’Oceano Atlantico e l’Oceano Indiano.  

Abbigliamento safari: cosa mettere in valigia?

Sogni un safari in Africa e non sai cosa mettere in valigia? Ecco alcuni consigli utili per te:

• Pantaloni in cotone
• Magliette leggere e felpe o giacchia antivento
• Cappellino per il sole
• Occhiali da sole
• Repellente per zanzare
• Crema solare
• Scarpe da trekking

Costi di un viaggio in Sudafrica

Il costo di un viaggio in Sudafrica dipende molto dalla sistemazione scelta, in particolare per quanto riguarda i safari. Esistono infatti all’interno dei parchi sia sistemazioni molto semplici che lodge esclusivi, dotati di ogni lusso e comfort. I safari possono essere poi svolti in autonomia con la propria auto o organizzati, incidendo naturalmente molto sul costo del viaggio. Un itinerario in Sudafrica della durata di 10 giorni, con voli interni, auto a noleggio e sistemazione di buon livello costa indicativamente 2500 euro.

È buona norma prevedere sempre un’assicurazione sanitaria per un viaggio in Sudafrica, poiché le strutture sanitarie di buon livello sono private.

Posti da visitare in Sudafrica

Si dice che il Sudafrica racchiuda il mondo in un solo Paese: la straordinaria varietà di paesaggi che si possono ammirare durante un tour in Sudafrica è davvero unica. I grandi spazi e le riserve naturali si alternano a città dal fascino peculiare: un viaggio in Sudafrica è un perfetto connubio tra natura, cultura e storia.

Tra le cose da vedere in Sudafrica spicca anzitutto la “Città Madre”: incastonata da due oceani e all’ombra di una montagna, Cape Town è una città dal fascino magnetico. La sua storia particolare è testimoniata dalla sua architettura, dove moderni grattacieli si alternano a edifici vittoriani e i colori vivaci delle casette si avvicendano alle decorazioni afro chic di mura e palazzi. Il Waterfront , il vecchio porto, è il centro della frizzante vita di una città che non dimentica il suo difficile passato: da qui salpano i traghetti per la visita di Robben Islan d , la prigione dove Nelson Mandela fu rinchiuso per 27 anni. Salire sulla vetta della Table Mountain , in funivia o a piedi, regala un panorama a 360 gradi sulla città e sull’oceano: sulle pendici della montagna si trovano anche i Kirstenbosch Gardens , gli spettacolari giardini botanici dichiarati patrimonio UNESCO. 

La Città del Capo è una meta piuttosto sicura per i turisti, basta prendere alcune accortezze per esempio non dare troppa confidenza agli estranei e non andare in giro da soli la sera, restando nella zona turistica dove ci sono gli altri turisti.

A breve distanza da Cape Town, la Penisola del Capo è una meta imperdibile durante un viaggio in Sudafrica . Scendendo verso sud lungo la penisola si incontrano le spiagge più cool come Camps Bay e Clifton Bay , per entrare poi nella zona del Capo di Buona Speranza ed arrivare fino al faro. L’area è un parco naturale con molte specie vegetali autoctone e molte specie di animali, tra cui antilopi, struzzi e dispettosi babbuini. Risalendo lungo la penisola lungo l’Oceano Indiano si trova la celebre Boulders Beach , che ospita una colonia di pinguini. La spiaggia è un susseguirsi di sabbia bianca e imponenti massi di granito, intorno ai quali camminano, giocano e nuotano più di 2000 pinguini africani a cui ci si può avvicinare grazie a delle passerelle di legno. In alcune calette è possibile anche nuotare con loro o raggiungere la spiaggia in kayak. Proseguendo verso nord si incontra un angolo davvero pittoresco, la spiaggia di Muizenberg con le sue coloratissime cabine in stile vittoriano.

La zona del Western Cape non può mancare durante un tour in Sudafrica : è l’area dove tra giugno e dicembre è possibile avvistare le balene australi, che migrano dalle fredde acque dell’Antartide verso le coste più calde del Sudafrica per partorire. Il punto privilegiato da cui osservarle è la cittadina di Hermanus , con il suo sentiero lungo la costa da cui avvistare i giganteschi cetacei che si mostrano in tutta la loro maestosa bellezza. Da percorrere durante un viaggio in Sudafrica in qualunque periodo dell’anno, invece, la Wine Route , che attraversa la celebre zona vinicola di Cape Winelands : le piacevoli cittadine di Paarl , Fraschhoek e Stellenbosch sono dei piccoli gioielli dall’architettura coloniale immersi in un panorama con vigneti a perdita d’occhio.

Tour e itinerari in Sudafrica

Il classico itinerario di viaggio in Sudafrica di circa 10 giorni durante l’estate australe, cioè il nostro inverno, prevede un soggiorno a Cape Town , per visitare la città e i dintorni, un tour della zona del Mpumalanga e il safari nel Parco Kruger o in una riserva privata nell’area limitrofa, con il rientro da Johannesburg . In inverno, da giugno a settembre, per un viaggio in Sudafrica davvero indimenticabile è irrinunciabile una tappa a Hermanus , lungo il Western Cape , per osservare il passaggio delle balene.

Un itinerario insolito per un tour in Sudafrica al di fuori delle consuete mete turistiche è quello che comprende anche la zona del Northern Cape . È un vasto territorio per lo più desertico, capace di regalare le emozioni dei grandi spazi aperti: qui si trova il Namaqualand , un’area che tra agosto e settembre si riempie di fiori dalle mille sfumature dell’arancio, e il deserto del Kalahari , che si estende nella zona di confine tra Sudafrica, Namibia e Botswana. Qui, nel Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, la natura è ancora incontaminata e selvaggia, per un’esperienza lontana dalla folla nell’Africa più autentica.

Per chi è alla ricerca di testimonianze della tormentata storia di questo Paese, un tour in Sudafrica non può non comprendere una visita alla Township di Soweto , a Johannesburg. Nacquero qui Nelson Mandela e Desmond Tutu, iniziò qui la rivolta degli studenti nel 1976: è un luogo simbolo della lotta all’apartheid, che cerca oggi orgogliosamente di rinascere da un passato di povertà.

Voli per il Sudafrica

Il Sudafrica non è raggiungibile dall’Italia con voli diretti.  Sono numerose però e compagnie aeree che offrono voli con scalo in città europee, nordafricane o mediorientali. L’aeroporto principale è quello di Johannesburg, ben collegato con le altre città sudafricane con voli interni. Alcune compagnie prevedono voli diretti per Cape Town o Durban. La durata del volo dall’Europa è di circa 10-12 ore.

Hotel in Sudafrica

Le possibilità di sistemazione durante un viaggio in Sudafrica sono innumerevoli e adatte ad ogni budget, con un livello di ospitalità assolutamente di eccellenza. Nelle città sono presenti le principali catene alberghiere internazionali, così come boutique hotels e guest house adatte a viaggiatori informali.

Durante i safari, che sono un must per ogni itinerario di viaggio in Sudafrica , si possono scegliere tantissime sistemazioni immerse nella straordinaria natura di questo Paese, alcune davvero uniche. Chi ricerca il lusso anche durante un’esperienza nella natura selvaggia può scegliere uno degli esclusivi lodge all’interno delle riserve private. Cottage con piscine private che si fondono coi colori della savana, case sull’albero dotate di ogni comfort, campi tendati dove dormire sotto le stelle del cielo africano: tutto il romanticismo del Mal d’Africa si concentra in questi esclusivi hotel, perfetti soprattutto per i viaggi di nozze in Sudafrica , ma anche per le famiglie. Le quote solitamente comprendono anche i safari all’alba e al tramonto. Perfette per un tour in Sudafrica più green, invece, le strutture all’insegna della sostenibilità, perfettamente armonizzate con la natura circostante.

Viaggi organizzati in Sudafrica

I tour in Sudafrica vengono generalmente proposti in modalità self drive con auto a noleggio: in questo modo si può esplorare il Paese in piena libertà, percorrendo circa 200 km al giorno su strade sicure ed in ottime condizioni. I safari possono essere effettuati in autonomia nei Parchi, o in modalità guidata. Nelle riserve private, invece, l’alloggio comprende generalmente due uscite all’alba e al tramonto in piccoli gruppi. Chi preferisce un viaggio in Sudafrica con guida italiana può invece optare per un viaggio di gruppo, seguendo un itinerario con accompagnatore in lingua italiana. Un modo assolutamente esclusivo per viaggiare in Sudafrica è quello a bordo di treni di lusso, per sentirsi come i grandi ed eleganti viaggiatori del passato.

Il Sudafrica è un Paese dalle mille sfumature, perfetto per una luna di miele che possa unire avventura, romanticismo, natura e cultura. Un viaggio di nozze in Sudafrica è perfetto in ogni periodo dell’anno e regala emozioni davvero indimenticabili. Dopo le mille avventure vissute tra savana, montagne, vigneti, deserto e oceano durante un tour in Sudafrica , alloggiando in esclusivi lodge o in romantici boutique hotels dai dettagli romantici, ci si può dedicare al relax assoluto e alle coccole sulle meravigliose spiagge dell’Oceano Indiano. Un viaggio di nozze in Sudafrica abbinato a Mauritius è perfetto per chi è alla ricerca di tramonti mozzafiato sulla spiaggia e di lunghe nuotate per esplorare la barriera corallina.

Uniquely Tauck

EXPERIENCE WITH TAUCK

TAUCK EXCLUSIVE – Private game drives with skilled rangers and trackers during four nights at private game reserves in or near Kruger National Park - two nights at Lion Sands – Kruger National Park and two nights at Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge

TAUCK VALUE INCLUDES

On-Tour Air (4 flights)

A wine-tasting dinner in the Cape Winelands

A private lecture in Johannesburg

Two nights in Victoria Falls, with a private lunch with the elephants in Zambezi and a sundowner river cruise

SEE WHAT YOUR JOURNEY INCLUDES

Guests should be able to easily walk one to two miles, which may include climbing one or two flights of stairs and walking over uneven pavement, groomed hiking trails or cobblestones. Standing up to one hour or more may be required.

Consistently robust – very full and active days, extended travel times, use of different modes of local transport, and a possibility of early starts.

Experiences of a lifetime

In the heart of the reserves, spot leopards, lions, elephants, impalas, and zebras… attend wine tastings, special presentations and lectures with local experts... and experience the vast legacy of cultural and natural history that makes up South Africa!

Discovering the cape winelands, a wine-pairing dinner at a historic estate in the cape winelands.

The Cape Winelands, South Africa's key wine producing region just outside of Cape Town, is one of the most beautiful in the world. Heading south from Cape Town, follow the wine trail skirting Table Mountain National Park, through towns reflecting their centuries-old Dutch origins, to the Constantia Valley, the heart of the Winelands since vineyards were first established in the region by Dutch settlers in the 17th century. One of the area's oldest wine estates is the Steenberg Farm; enjoy a wine-pairing dinner at the vineyard featuring its acclaimed wines.

South Africa's Kruger National Park

Game drives in kruger national park in south africa's lowveldt.

Kruger National Park, in the heart of the South African lowveldt, boasts one of the highest recorded densities of wildlife – and especially of leopards – in the African continent. On our private game drives in Kruger during your Tauck safari adventure, keep your eyes open for elephants, cheetah, rhinos, wild dogs and, of course, leopards, along with many other endangered and rare mammals, birds and reptiles.

Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge

Paradise in the bushveldt.

At the Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge, the magic begins the moment you drive into the Sabi Sand Private Reserve bordering Kruger National Park. One of four Sabi Sabi lodges located in the heart of the reserve, your contemporary accommodations are designed to capture the moment as it happens... with moving views of the bushveldt from your luxury suite... endless wildlife sightings at the watering hole feet from the lounge, atrium and bar area... with an ever-vigilant guide on private game drives, twice daily, from dawn to dusk... during afternoon tea served with tradition... and at sundowners under a crimson sky.

Africa's Big Five in the first hours of the safari and the grandeur of Victoria Falls all were truly wonderful.

About Booking This Tour

Travel Documents

If you are a U.S. citizen traveling internationally , you will need a passport valid for six months beyond the completion of your Tauck journey for entry into South Africa and Zimbabwe. In addition to a valid passport, and as noted in your Journey Confirmation e-document you received confirming your reservation, a visa is required for entry to Zimbabwe. The visa will be obtained upon arrival at the Zimbabwe airport on day 10 of your tour and is included in the tour price. The country of South Africa does not require a visa for U.S. citizens. Recent new rules at South Africa's airports also require that anyone traveling to South Africa must have two consecutive blank pages in their passport which lie side by side when the passport is open (i.e. a left and a right hand page). Travelers also need a third page blank labeled "visa" at the top in order to enter Zimbabwe.  (This third blank page need not be consecutive with the blank two-page spread noted above that is required for entry into South Africa.) U.S. citizens who need to add extra pages to their passport should go to the State Department website for further information by clicking here . You will find instructions on how to add extra pages to your passport. Passengers traveling to South Africa with passports that do not comply with these requirements will either be stopped from boarding the aircraft or risk deportation on arrival in South Africa.

If you are a citizen of another country traveling internationally , you should contact a consulate or embassy of each of the countries visited on this itinerary to determine what travel documentation is required.

We strongly recommend that you make at least two photocopies of all the travel documents that you bring with you. Include copies of the photo page of your passport that contains the date of issuance, the date of expiration and your citizenship. Secure one set of copies in the safe in your room while traveling and leave one set behind with someone at home who will assist you in the event your documents are misplaced, lost or stolen.

To facilitate Travel Requirements, destinations are increasingly utilizing online forms that require digital proof that you've successfully completed your submission (via an email, QR code, etc.) To ensure smooth travels and peace of mind, we strongly recommend all guests carry a personal smart phone and sign up for international data plans before traveling overseas.

Traveling with Minors:

To ensure a smooth booking process and compliance with travel requirements for children under 18 years old to South Africa and Zimbabwe please provide the following documents:

• U.S. citizens require a valid passport to enter the countries on this itinerary, and that passport must be valid for at least six months beyond the completion of travel.
• Signed, Notarized Letter from Parents: For guardians or grandparents traveling with minors, it is required to bring a signed, notarized letter from the children's parents. This letter should authorize travel and emergency medical treatment in case of injury or illness. Please note that the legal definition of a minor can vary by location and may be up to 21 years of age.
• Unabridged Birth Certificate: An Unabridged Birth Certificate is a document that includes detailed information about both biological parents or legal guardians to cross into Zimbabwe 
• In the case of one parent traveling with a child, he or she must produce a certified unabridged birth certificate of the child.
• A letter of consent from the absent parent, should the minor be traveling with one parent only.

For more information, please click on the link below: Detailed information can be found at South Africa's office of homeland affairs: https://www.gov.za/faq/travel-tourism/what-are-requirements-travelling-children 

TRAVELING WITH CHILDREN AS A GUARDIAN: If you are traveling as the guardian of a child/children, we strongly suggest that you carry a letter from both parents of the child authorizing emergency treatment in the event of illness or accident. For travel abroad, many foreign countries have specific entry requirements for children under 21 who are traveling internationally without BOTH parents. (These requirements are in response to the increased incidence of children being abducted and taken abroad.) PLEASE NOTE THAT TAUCK IS NOT RESPONSIBLE for the disruption of travel caused by improper documentation for children traveling without both parents.

Travel Protection Plan

Effective for plans purchased as of July 1, 2021:

Tauck's Guest Protection

Tauck's Guest Protection provides you with cancellation protection before your journey begins as well as insurance benefits while you are traveling. Guest Protection includes the following:

Cancellation Waiver – Provided by Tauck:

Under Tauck's Cancellation Fee Waiver you can cancel your tour for ANY REASON up to the day before departure and receive a money-back refund (except in Extreme Circumstances*) on the land tour cost, based on your original method of payment.

*Extreme Circumstances:  In the event of an act of God, war (whether declared or undeclared), terrorism, accident, natural disaster, outbreak of disease, or other event or circumstance beyond our control that contributes to or results in cancellation rates above our historical cancellation rates in the absence of such event or occurrence, Tauck reserves the right to issue a credit to you in lieu of a money-back refund, applicable to a future Tauck journey.

Travel Insurance Benefits – Underwritten by United States Fire Insurance Company.

• Trip Cancellation –  If you must cancel your tour due to a covered reason, the plan provides coverage for the amount you paid for your travel arrangements. Since the non-insurance cancellation waiver takes care of the land package cancellation fees already, this benefit reimburses the airfare cancellation charges up to the value of your original airfare purchase.
• Trip Interruption –  If you have to interrupt your tour for covered reasons, the plan provides reimbursement to catch up to your tour or return home.
• Travel Delay –  Provides reimbursement for missed, prepaid travel arrangements if you are delayed by a common carrier, natural disaster, unannounced strike, or other reasons as cited in the plan.
• Medical Expense –  Reimburses covered medical expenses incurred in the event you become injured or sick during your trip. 
• Baggage / Personal Effects Protection –  Provides reimbursement in the event your luggage or personal effects are, lost, stolen, damaged or delayed during your trip.
• Worldwide Emergency Assistance Services –  Provided by CareFree Travel Assistance; 24-hour emergency telephone assistance hotline for medical and travel related problems.

The cost of Tauck's Guest Protection is: $769 per person

This protection provides insurance coverage that applies only during the covered trip. You may have coverage from other sources that provides you with similar benefits but may be subject to different restrictions depending upon your other coverages. You may wish to compare the terms of this policy with your existing life, health, home and automobile policies. If you have any questions about your current coverage, call your insurer, insurance agent or broker.

This optional Guest Protection must be requested at time of booking and fee must be included with initial payment. Fees are based on costs as of July 2021, and are subject to change. Details will be provided with written confirmation of your tour reservation. Guest Protection does not protect travel agent commissions. Reimbursements will be made according to original method of payment. The amount of any refund shall be reduced by any recoveries obtained by you from any third parties.

The Guest Protection plan waives cancellation fees outlined below, provided we are notified of cancellation before your tour departs. Tour cancellation fees are waived regardless of reason, without written notice, and Tauck will refund land tour cost.

To obtain your state-specific Certificate of Insurance that contains the complete terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions of the certificate, visit  affinitytravelcert.com/docs/TACGPPINTL .

If You Have To Cancel

If you cancel within 10 days of initial deposit Within the first 10 days after you place your initial deposit, you may cancel your reservation for any reason with no cancellation fees. If you cancel more than 10 days after initial deposit Regardless of reason, cancellations result in costly charges from our travel and hotel providers covering penalties and fees incurred by canceling confirmed bookings. These fees vary from tour to tour. Therefore, the following fees apply.

Loss of Guest Protection fee, per person 

Cancellation Fees without Tauck's Guest Protection Plan :

90 days or more before departure = $600 per person

89-8 days before departure = $1250 per person

7-1 days before departure = $2000 per person

Time of cancellation will be when notice is received in our Wilton Woods, CT office.

In the event of an unforeseen circumstance beyond our control, Tauck reserves the right to amend the cancellation terms outlined herein.

Note:  All Guests, regardless of residency, who book a Tauck journey have the option of purchasing the Cancellation Waiver provided by Tauck in the event they need to cancel their trip after making their reservations. Tauck's Guest Protection, which includes both the Cancellation Fee Waiver and the Travel Insurance Benefits and Assistance Services described above, is not available to residents of Puerto Rico.

Airlines have become much more strict in enforcing size and weight limits in recent years, and luggage exceeding airline standards for size or weight may result in expensive overage fees or other consequences.

Airlines are free to revise luggage policies without notice, and certain airlines have different baggage allowances for different classes of service. Researching and complying with airline luggage restrictions is the responsibility of the guest, and Tauck cannot be held responsible for any costs or disruptions to travel caused by the failure to research and comply with airline policies.

Tauck luggage tags will be provided by your Tauck Director on Day 1 of your itinerary. Please do not attach a Tauck luggage tag to any carry-on items, as the Tauck tags designate luggage that is to be handled and transferred by ground operators and hotel staff during your journey.

Carry-on Luggage - General

Although oversize bags and wheeled, carry-on luggage are popular for airline travel, they are often not convenient or appropriate for motor coach travel or for many on-tour flights. Most modern sightseeing motor coaches offer limited space for numerous or larger items. Space under seats or in the overhead rack is typically small, and designed to accommodate items like coats, hats, purses, and small camera bags, etc.

For your day-to-day travel while on tour, we recommend that you limit your hand luggage to a small, soft-sided carry-on piece, and that you bring only those items you need handy during the day such as make-up, medications, cameras, film, etc. Items too large to fit under the motor coach seat or on the overhead rack must be stored in the luggage bays beneath the motor coach, and may be inaccessible during daytime travel.

Health, Safety and Mobility

HEALTH CONSIDERATIONS

If you have a medical condition that might limit your participation in activities, please consult your physician for pre-departure health advice and notify us as soon as possible, if you have not already done so. We will advise your Tauck Director accordingly.

Please check with your health insurance provider to determine whether you are covered while traveling. If you will not be covered under your current policy, we strongly suggest that you arrange for adequate coverage while on tour. 

VACCINATION REQUIREMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Some of the countries visited on this itinerary may require travelers to provide proof of vaccination against certain diseases in order to enter the country.  These requirements are subject to frequent change as outbreaks occur and subside in different areas, and it is therefore crucial that you obtain the very latest information on entry requirements as you prepare for your journey.

For the most current information, please consult the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) by clicking here  and the World Health Organization (WHO) by clicking here . You may also wish to visit the web sites for the embassies of the countries you will be visiting.  Besides providing details on vaccination requirements, these sites can also provide information on vaccinations that may be recommended (but aren't required) and other potential health issues for which no vaccines are available.

Any decisions relating to your health, of course, should not be based solely on information provided by a web site.  It is critically important that you consult with your personal physician prior to your journey to obtain any required vaccinations and to review any optional recommendations offered by the CDC or other sources.

Please be sure to discuss your journey with your physician at least four to six weeks in advance of your departure, as certain vaccinations take time to become fully effective.  Also, be certain to ask your physician for proof of any vaccinations you receive, and to pack this proof along with your other travel documents in your carry-on luggage (not in your checked luggage).

Researching and complying with vaccination entry requirements for the countries visited on this itinerary is the responsibility of the traveler and not Tauck. Tauck is therefore not responsible for any expenses incurred or disruptions to travel caused by improper or incomplete vaccinations, or by the failure to provide proof of required vaccinations.

If you do not obtain the necessary vaccinations and proper documentation, you may be denied entry into one or more countries, or temporarily quarantined until the necessary vaccinations are administered, or until proper documentation is provided.

All travelers to Africa should be in reasonably good health. There is a significant amount of walking on this tour, frequently in warm weather, as well as climbing in and out of safari vehicles and frequent air travel. We strongly advise that guests who require assistance walking or travel with oxygen tanks may not fully enjoy this very active journey.

There are certain rules and regulations that one should be aware of while on  safari. It is important that you listen to your tour director, local guide or  ranger, as they are trained to be aware of the environment around them.

Guests should be aware that while on safari, you will be traveling in smaller  groups and will travel on small bush planes and/or helicopters.

Guests will share smaller safari vehicles, where they will be required to rotate  not only safari guides, rangers and cars, but also seats within the car. Please  note that there are limited medical facilities, and guests will not have  exclusive use to a vehicle should they need special attention or consideration.

The safari vehicles are not air conditioned. The cars have six window seats, and  are open air for animal viewing. Please note that the areas traversed  on game drives are typically unpaved and will often be bumpy and dusty.

Please note that all Tauck guests will dine at Tauck Designated tables for  meals. The majority of meals while on safari, are buffet due to the  international guests that stay at the lodges.

AN IMPORTANT NOTE ON SUPPLEMENTAL OXYGEN AND MOBILITY ISSUES:  This Tauck itinerary cannot accommodate oxygen tanks, wheelchairs or motorized scooters.  Oxygen tanks are strictly prohibited in many foreign countries on regional flights aboard small aircraft, such as those intra-tour flights featured on this Tauck journey.  Likewise, the very limited cargo capacity on such flights prohibits the transport of wheelchairs or motorized scooters.

Guests should also bear in mind that the infrastructure in many foreign countries, particularly in developing countries, often presents severe and even insurmountable challenges for those with walking difficulties or other mobility issues.  The responsibility of the Tauck Director is to ensure that the larger group enjoys a relaxing and informative journey, and he or she cannot be relied upon to provide ongoing individual assistance to any one guest.  Guests requiring such individualized assistance must be accompanied by an able-bodied companion who can provide it.

SPECIAL DIETARY REQUESTS

The restaurants, hotels, caterers and numerous other partners we work with all do their best to accommodate special dietary requests from Tauck guests. However, given the diverse nature of those food providers (from small wineries to grand hotels to world-famous restaurants in more than 70 countries worldwide), some of our partners are better able than others to accommodate such requests. We therefore cannot guarantee that all dietary requests can be accommodated at every meal. Also, please note that where dietary requests can be accommodated, choices will frequently be limited.

Reading List

We have compiled a reading list of recommended books to give you more information about the destinations you will be traveling to on your upcoming journey!

You can view the reading list  here.

South Africa is a year-round destination, as frequently the climate features bright, sunny days. Temperatures in the summer (November to February) and autumn (March and April) typically range from the mid-50's to the high-70's degrees Fahrenheit , or 10 to 21 degrees Celsius, in South Africa, and from the low-60's to the low-90's F, or 15 to 30 C, in Zimbabwe. Meanwhile, the winter (May to August) and spring (September to October) seasons typically bring temperatures from the mid-40's to the low-70's F, or 4 to 21 C, in South Africa, and from the mid-40's to high-80's F, or 4 to 27 C, in Zimbabwe.

South Africa is generally considered to be an arid region, with two-thirds of the country receiving less than 22 inches, or 56 centimeters, of rain per year. The central part of the country typically sees rainfall in the summer. Meanwhile, in Cape Town and its surroundings, it is typically most rainy in the winter months. The majority of Zimbabwe's rainfall occurs between the months of December and March.

To read about current weather conditions, we suggest you log on to the Internet website, noaa.gov , by clicking here .

What To Pack

Generally, lightweight, cotton, short-sleeved and long-sleeved shirts, shorts and long pants are sufficient. A light jacket, fleece, or windbreaker, as well as layers of clothing, are suggested for cooler temperatures during early morning game drives, especially from June through August, and for evenings. A bandana or cotton scarf will always come in handy.

For the welcome and farewell dinners, and for dining in the larger cities, many guests like to dress up, but by all means be comfortable. A jacket and tie is no longer required for dining in the upscale Livingstone Room at the Victoria Falls Hotel.

While on safari it is recommended you wear natural earth-colored clothing, such as khakis, tans, browns, and greens, as well as comfortable walking shoes. It is also a good idea to bring a swimsuit, hat, sunscreen, sunglasses, and lip protection.

Game drives can be dusty, so wear something that can be washed while on safari. Valet service is available at all lodges and hotels.

A personal kit with medication for possible upset stomach, aspirin, and allergy medicine may also be useful. If you are taking prescription drugs, bring a prescription signed by your doctor in case you need an emergency refill while traveling. Insect repellent with DEET is a very important item to include in your kit. Pre-moistened towelettes, antibacterial lotion, and a flashlight will also be useful on your safari.

Pack your medical kit in your carry-on bag along with an extra pair of prescription glasses or contact lenses and a change of clothes in case of luggage delay.

For viewing wildlife, we recommend you bring a good pair of binoculars and your own photography supplies, such as plenty of film, batteries, a 200mm telephoto lens, lens cap, lens papers, UV filter and, for video-recording, an adequate supply of video cassettes.

We suggest that you pack the following items your journey:

• Casual daytime wear – shorts, slacks, long and short-sleeved shirts
• An optional jacket and tie for men
• Casually elegant evening wear for ladies
• Sunglasses, sunscreen, hat
• A light sweater or jacket for higher elevations or a breezy night
• Binoculars (7x50 preferably)
• Insect repellent
• Camera, lenses, batteries, memory cards and chargers
• Lightweight, comfortable, sturdy walking shoes that have already been broken-in
• Travel alarm clock/cell phone with alarm function (many hotels do not have clocks in the rooms)
• Rain poncho and collapsible umbrella
• Reusable zipper-lock bags or other waterproof bags
• Daypack for camera equipment
• Sundries and toiletries that may be difficult to find en route
• Copies of your travel documents that should be secured in the safe in your hotel room while traveling

Please refer to the Necessary Gear website at  www.necessarygear.com  as one option available to you for renting and purchasing apparel, PPEs, and other items appropriate for your journey.

South Africa isn’t just a destination, it’s a kaleidoscope of experiences. Think epic safaris where lions bask under starlit skies, and sun-kissed beaches where surfers dance with turquoise waves. Climb majestic Table Mountain, its peak scraping the clouds, or delve into the vibrant heart of Cape Town.

Journey along the dramatic Garden Route, where cliffs plunge into the ocean and hidden coves hide secrets. Witness the ancient wonder of the Blyde River Canyon, its sandstone cliffs telling tales of forgotten civilizations and Let the rhythm of African drums move your soul in Johannesburg.

Best Months to Travel

National parks: May to September Cape: November to March

Kruger National Park

Kruger National Park is the place where sunrise paints the savanna in hues of gold, revealing a land where elephants trumpet their morning greetings and lions bask in the warmth of the rising sun. Kruger National Park is Africa’s largest wildlife sanctuary, teeming with life across its 19,000 square kilometres.

Spend a night under a canopy of stars, sharing stories around crackling fires, the symphony of nocturnal creatures your lullaby. Kruger isn’t just a destination, it’s an experience. It’s a chance to connect with nature’s raw power, to witness the delicate balance of life, and to create memories that will stay with you forever.

July to October

Johannesburg

Johannesburg is the city where gold meets grit and unveils a vibrant energy you’ll never forget. This pulsating city, known as Jozi to locals, oozes a gritty charm and raw energy that draw you in like a moth to a flame.

Skyscrapers pierce the sky, a testament to its modern ambition, while echoes of apartheid’s past whisper from Soweto’s museums and vibrant street art. Jozi isn’t for the faint of heart: it’s a city that challenges and surprises, where contrasts collide, and stories unfold on every corner.

15℃ to 28℃ in summer and -3℃ to 22℃ in winter

March to May and September to November

South Africa

Cape Town is a city with a vibrant soul where cityscapes meet mountains and ocean. The majestic Table Mountain stands guard over the city, its peak scraping the clouds and offering panoramic vistas all the way to the vast Atlantic Ocean.

The vibrant streets pulse with diverse cultures and colourful Bo-Kaap houses tell stories of resilience, while bustling markets overflow with local crafts and fragrant spices. But Cape Town’s magic extends beyond the city limits. Drive past the dramatic cliffs of Chapman’s Peak, kayak alongside playful penguins at Boulders Beach, or embark on a thrilling shark cage diving adventure.

15℃ to 29℃ in summer and 11℃ to 22℃ in winter

January to March

Garden Route

Unwind on the Garden Route where ocean meets mountains. Think coastlines carved by turquoise waves, where surfers chase endless swells and hidden coves whisper secrets. Imagine towering mountains draped in emerald forests, their peaks scraping the clouds and offering panoramic vistas.

This is the Garden Route, a 300-kilometer stretch of South African heaven hugging the Indian Ocean. Each bend in the road unveils a new scene: from hidden waterfalls cascading into rock pools to quaint harbours brimming with colourful boats.
