The Rainbow Nation has it all: flamboyant cultures, dramatic scenery, diverse wildlife and an easy-going atmosphere. This, together with superb restaurants, elegant hotels and a great climate, make a South Africa holiday a perennial favourite, with many people returning year after year.
A holiday to South Africa with Abercrombie & Kent is the best way to experience this fascinating country. With exclusive access to people, places and wildlife, our holidays to South Africa stand out from the crowd. Try spotting whales, dolphins and great white sharks from the air, head into the South Africa Winelands or a private wine tasting followed by chef table dining at one of the region's excellent restaurants, or take a Cape Town city break to experience the lively cosmopolitan buzz of the Victoria and Alfred waterfront with Table Mountain as a backdrop.
South Africa holidays with A&K are as colourful and exciting as the country itself.
Mpumalanga has stunning mountain ranges, but is best known for the Kruger safari and the adjacent game reserve of the Sabi Sands - arguably one of the best places to see the elusive leopard and wide-open African skies on a South Africa safari.
