South Africa > 

Johannesburg is the entry point into this region for international visitors at OR Tambo International Airport. Jozi, as it is affectionately known by the locals is the gateway to South Africa's northern provinces of the Free State - home of Golden Gate reserve & its awe inspiring sandstone features; North West Province -  where the sun never sets on Sun City, Pilansberg Reserve and Madikwe Reserve;  and Limpopo & Mpumalanga - the home of Kruger National Park, Blyde River Canyon and the famous Pilgrim's Trail that prospectors followed many years ago. Johannesburg is also South Africa's economic hub and as a result is a hive of conferencing activity with delegates swishing in and out of its conference centres and boardrooms. There is hotel accommodation to suit every budget in this golden city.

But Johannesburg is also the gateway to Southern Africa and dream safari experiences across the region. From here visitors can depart to all of Southern Africa's beautiful destinations of Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Tanzania, Mozambique and Swaziland.

Cape Town is the entry point to the Western Cape and Namibia. It is one of the most popular destinations in Southern Africa and rates as one of Trip Adviser's top 100 favourite worldwide destinations.

Surrounding Cape Town are the world famous winelands and the whale haven of Hermanus on the False Bay Coastline. For many visitors a day tour out to taste some wine or enjoy the Cape's scenery is a must. Visitors can also head up the West Coast to experience coastlines that explode in spring flowers and abound with beautiful semi-desert landscapes. Cape Town and the Western Cape is the perfect destination for your dream wedding or special event.

For many honeymooners South Africa's gorgeous Garden Route - gateway to the Eastern Cape and this glorious stretch of the Eastern Cape coastline is the idyllic venue for that romantic post wedding getaway. The scenery calls for slow days idling along going from one secret getaway to the next - many visitors to this paradise, hire a car and take a slow drive up the coast from Mossel Bay to Port Elizabeth with many stops in between.

Durban is one of South Africa's most popular local holiday destinations. This is where stressed-out Gautengers head for a weekend retreat and families escape for that long weekend break at its many places to stay. Durban and the province of KwaZulu Natal is the official home of South Africa's Zulu tribe and is rich in cultural heritage. This is also the province where wildlife and nature can be observed in some of the most awe-inspiring settings imaginable. Head up the north coast or into the interior - this is a province worth exploring.
