Cape Town

A stunning natural backdrop and a moderate, Mediterranean climate are two advantages of Cape Town. Whether it's history, nature, or culture, Cape Town has everything.

Lion’s head is the best place to enjoy the beauty of Cape town and the UNESCO World Heritage site the magnificent Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens features diverse botanical elements.
Kruger National Park

The charming town of Knysna is nestled between thick forests and a sparkling lagoon, the stunning Garden Route National Park with its gorges, tidal pools, ostrich farms, dense forests, Cango Caves, and the seal colony of the Robberg Nature Reserve in Plettenberg Bay are some of the other highlights of the Garden Route. Discover the peaceful beach and tiny village of Wilderness, and bungee jump from Storms River's highest commercial bridge.
Drakensburg
The Drakensberg, often known as "The Berg" by locals, is a region in South Africa that is home to some of the highest peaks in the nation. Actually, Drakensburg means "Mountains of the Dragon” and you can visit the Giant's Castle Game Reserve as it protects large herds of eland that will make sure you had a good trip.
