South Africa Tourist Information Resource

A selection of useful websites relating to South Africa.

Undoubtedly South Africa has the widest range of holiday experiences to offer of any country in Africa, and, although less safe than, say, Zambia, it remains a country that the intending traveller can visit with some confidence, although it would probably be best to avoid areas such as downtown Johannesburg.


Where to start? Cape Town is one of the world’s favourite resorts, and the opportunity to visit the Cape of Good Hope, in addition to being able to explore the wine lands of Stellenbosch and the surrounding areas, remains a magnet for many travellers. Fishing, surfing and whale watching are also popular activities in the area of the Cape.


For golfers South Africa is a paradise, with many top level courses, set in stunning scenery, and many people choose to combine a golfing holiday with a wild-life safari. Cultural experiences abound, from Robben Island, near Cape Town (where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for so long), through a (guided) visit to Soweto township (just south of Johannesburg ), to the Zulu battlefields of Kwa-Zulu/Natal.


Travel on the famous ‘Blue Train’ (the South African equivalent of the Orient Express) is an unforgettable, if expensive, experience, and for dramatic countryside it is difficult to beat the Drakensberg Mountains in the west of the country. A visit to the Drakensberg leads naturally on to South Africa’s most well-known game park – the Kruger National Park. However don’t expect a deeply ‘bushy’ experience – South Africa is represented more by expensive luxury game lodges, than by intimate bush camps.


South Africa is not a country in which we ourselves currently directly offer a travel or tourism product of our own, although we are able to act as booking agents on your behalf if you find a trip that you would like to take, and wish to take advantage of the financial bonding and other travel services that we provide.
