South Africa has a range of diverse places to visit, ranging from true African safari adventure to world class cosmopolitan facilities; the country is perfect for those wanting a gorgeous and unique getaway.

There is the undiscovered gem of the malaria-free Eastern Cape, where a mixture of safari, the ocean and adrenaline activities await, as well as the cosmopolitan, world-renowned city of Cape Town, where Table Mountain casts its shadow, and the lush Garden Route, the most beautiful stretch of coastal and forest land in the country. On the other side, we have KwaZulu-Natal, Kingdom of the Zulu, where a contemporary beach city meets wildlife and historical battle sites, and the home of our greatest warrior, Shaka Zulu. And then there is South Africa’s jewel, The Kruger National Park, the largest national park in the country, and one of the largest and most renowned in the world. Explore our cities, which offer world-class experiences, as well as historical elegance; explore our landscapes, which provide the most extraordinary views; and explore our game reserves, which are teeming with wildlife, including the Big 5.

South Africa is situated on the southernmost tip of Africa and is bordered by Botswana, Namibia and Zimbabwe. South Africa is a vibrant and beautiful country that is filled with a rich blend of people and culture and languages, as well as beautiful landscapes, scenery, and fantastic wildlife.

As we are based in South Africa, we at East Cape Tours are specialists in this brilliant country, and with our strong relationshsips with the staff and owners of many of the lodges and properties in South Africa we are able to help you find the best prices to suit your budget.

Safari in South Africa

Embarking on a safari in South Africa is a transcendent journey into the heart of untamed wilderness. As the sun rises over vast savannas and sets behind rugged mountains, you’ll find yourself immersed in a world where nature’s rhythm takes center stage. The iconic roar of a lion, the graceful stride of a giraffe, and the thundering charge of an elephant create a symphony of sights and sounds that awaken a primal connection within. Whether traversing the legendary Kruger National Park, exploring private game reserves in the Eastern Cape, or capturing the perfect wildlife shot on a photographic safari, South Africa offers a canvas of diversity. It’s a place where the pursuit of the “Big Five” is just the beginning—where every moment spent in the presence of Africa’s wildlife is a testament to the raw beauty and indomitable spirit of the natural world.

Sublime Coastlines

South Africa’s coastlines are a sublime testament to nature’s artistic prowess. Stretching along the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, these coastal landscapes are a harmonious blend of rugged grandeur and tranquil beauty. From the dramatic cliffs and pristine beaches of the Cape Peninsula to the golden sands of the Garden Route, the coastline is a masterpiece of contrasts. The crashing waves carve out sculpted rock formations, while serene bays and lagoons offer havens of serenity. Whether you’re gazing at the sheer cliffs of the Wild Coast, exploring the hidden coves of the Western Cape, or witnessing the meeting of two oceans at the Cape of Good Hope, South Africa’s coastlines inspire awe and introspection. Each vista captures the essence of a land where land and sea merge in a symphony of colors, textures, and emotions, leaving an indelible imprint on all who are fortunate enough to witness their sublime beauty.

 

Discover the Real South Africa

Travelling in South Africa is a journey of discovery, and at its pinnacle is the captivating city of Cape Town. Nestled between the majesty of Table Mountain and the azure waters of the Atlantic Ocean, Cape Town is a destination that effortlessly merges natural wonders with cultural richness. The iconic silhouette of Table Mountain, often cloaked in a mystical “tablecloth” of clouds, is a breathtaking backdrop to the city’s vibrant streets and historic neighborhoods. Explore the bustling V&A Waterfront, where modern architecture meets maritime heritage, and then venture to the colorful houses of Bo-Kaap, a testament to Cape Town’s diverse history. Take a cable car ride to the summit of Table Mountain for panoramic views that stretch to the horizon, or wind your way along Chapman’s Peak Drive for vistas that will steal your breath away. Whether you’re exploring the Cape Peninsula’s wild beauty, indulging in the finest wines of the nearby Winelands, or simply soaking in the energy of the city’s bustling markets and world-class cuisine, Cape Town stands as a travel highlight that encapsulates the very essence of South Africa’s allure.
