As the world leader in travel experiences since 1947, we connect you to the real South Africa in a way like no other. From the wild bushland to the powdery beaches ringed by two oceans, South Africa is a country of astonishing diversity. You can journey from the rugged Drakensberg Mountains, to the star-studded Kalahari dunes, and on to the vibrant cities of Cape Town and Johannesburg, the 'City of Gold'. When you visit South Africa with Trafalgar, we’ll venture on a private safari in Kruger National Park to see Africa’s Big Five and unique black-maned lions, and rise to the top of Table Mountain for sweeping views over Cape Town’s Atlantic Seaboard. Enjoy lunch in Africa's highest pub, sample the famous wine of the golden Cape Winelands, and drive the Cape Peninsula, one of the world’s most beautiful coastal roads. South Africa’s vibrant culture is equally diverse, and we’ll reveal the legacy of Mandela through the country’s excellent museums, and share a traditional meal in a Swazi Chief's village. Travel with us and unlock the infinite possibilities thanks to our exclusive Trafalgar Highlights.
