Wildlife

There is nothing like seeing wild animals in their natural environment and in South Africa you are spoiled for choice when it comes to our wildlife. Take one of our safaris to see lions, cheetahs, giraffe and rhino, take a trip to a penguin's favourite spot on the Cape coast or visit a parade of majestic elephants.

South Africans are passionate about sport, food and wine. In your spare time you could be enjoying sports from kite surfing and rock climbing to watching a sports match in one of our world-class stadiums. Or enjoy a hike in our beautiful wilderness, wine tours, wonderful restaurants and South African food tasting tours.
