South Africa
Set at the edge of the world, South Africa boasts one of the most diverse sets of flora and fauna.
It intrigues every type of traveller with a curiosity for one and all, whether it be looking for a cosy luxury honeymoon in a room overlooking a game park or an unforgettable family safari in your own 4x4 vehicle.
One of the attractions even features “Two Oceans”.
Offering everything from rocky mountain biking to kite-boarding, marathons to hot air ballooning, the adrenaline enthusiast will leave nothing behind.
Scratching the surface of the indulgent attractions, your visit could include, a dip in the Atlantic on your way back from the beachfront hotel, a few nights later, the same in the Indian Ocean or perhaps a night ride in the bush on a guided game drive.
