South Africa

It was not until the World Cup last summer that many paid attention to this country full of attractive options for incentives. Natural parks teeming with unique wildlife and nature (it is the only country in the world where you can see the Big Five!), internationally renowned wines, trains that combine adventure and extreme luxury, and a sophisticated city nightlife are some of the surprises that this country hides. We’ve selected some proposals to enjoy it thoroughly ...

- Thunder City. Located in Cape Town, it is the only operator of civil aircraft in the world that offers flights in former military aircraft. Experience carrying a rocket through the sound barrier...

- Diving with sharks. Difficult to find an activity that triggers more adrenaline. Soaking in a cage with the Great This activity has become very popular in recent years, and no doubt South Africa is one of the best places in the world to do experience it.

- Swimming with crocodiles. This activity also uses large cages that allow us to see these giant reptiles within inches, and safely. It can be done in the Congo Wildlife Ranch, among others.

- Go in search of the legendary Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo) in a photo safari. South Africa is the only country where you can find these desired five species.

 

Palaces on wheels

- Embark on The Rovos Rail or The Blue Train, two palaces on wheels. The first carries the traveller to the Victorian era, with an atmosphere and service that recreate past times, in routes as Pretoria to Cape Town or Durban to Victoria Falls. In a colonial style, you will also find in The Blue Train, famous for its wines.

- Green hunting: Go hunting, but replacing bullets with safe darts, as part of a scientific research. In a world increasingly aware of the need to treat animals well, the green hunting seems to be the future…

- Enjoy the rich cultural heritage of Cape Town: The Castle of Good Hope, the Parliament building, the Museum of Cultural History of South Africa and the National Gallery are some of the great attractions of this city.

- Bird Island Nature Reserve, with over three acres of shoreline, offers a fascinating insight into the lives of Cape gannets and other seabirds. You can also make a tour to discover the native wildflowers.

 

Ghosts and lots of history

- Robben Island: Take a ferry to the island to soak up into history. Nelson Mandela was locked up here for over 20 years and the island is now a tourist attraction.

- Ghost tours: to outline the country’s darker history, you can get  head-hunters, sorcerers and poisoners, souls fall in massive battles ...

- Whale watching: Along the Garden Route, you can watch these sea giants and you can combine this tour with a visit to the penguins in Simon´s Town, the ostriches in Oudtshoorn, or the elephants at the Addo Elephant National Park.

- Kirstenbosh-Botanical Garden, considered one of the most beautiful in the world, with over 500 hectares.

- The great classic safari to the Kruger National Park, the area of KwaZulu Natal or the Kgalagadi Park, is a total immersion in the mythical African cheetahs and lions. After touring the countryside in 4x4, the group can spend the night in a luxury accommodation, observe the stars, practice golfing safari (combined with golf) or, even more relaxing, yoga safari.

 

Infrastructure 5 *

As for accommodation, the country has real luxury establishments such as The Table Bay in the historic heart of Cape Town. Its restaurant, The Atlantic, is known for its more than 6,000 different award-winning wines.

Also spectacular are various types of accommodations that surround the country´s most famous park, the Kruger National Park. Colonial luxury, exoticism, and unique views of animal life.

Another must is The Sun City, a resort in the crater of a volcano two hours from Johannesburg which consists of four hotels among which The Palace of the Lost City, a 5-star GL, with 20 meeting rooms for up to 6,000 people. Guests can go on safari or enjoy the traditional African dining under the stars in an enclosed "boma" in the hotel.
