Eastern Cape, South Africa

South Africa’s unique position affords visitors with a multitude of options to suit all needs and requirements. The country’s subtropical region is ideal for supporting the exciting Big Five wildlife we all love and revere, and is also entirely malaria free. There are numerous private game reserves offering an array of accommodation from tented camps to lodges and each offers 2 game drives a day so you can witness the animals at first light and then again later in the day as afternoon turns to dusk. During the day relax by the pool, read-up on the local flora and fauna or just kick back with a good book and enjoy the serenity. From Cape Town, Port Elizabeth, Waterberg and Pilanesberg there are plenty of options that combine with a lovely Garden Route or Cape Winelands holiday.
