      Our top 5 things to do in South Africa

      Go on a private safari in Kruger National Park

      Step into one of Africa’s greatest wildlife reserves. Kruger is home to 135 species of mammals, including lions, elephants, and leopards. Watch wildebeest run across the plains, elephants strip leaves from mopane trees, and big cats stalking silently through the grass.

      Experience the cosmopolitan charm of Cape Town

      From the flat top of Table Mountain to the cliffs of the Cape Peninsula, Cape Town is a feast for the senses. Explore the City Bowl, taste wines in the Cape Winelands, and breathe in the ocean air along one of the world’s most spectacular coastlines.

      Marvel at the Drakensberg Mountains

      The mighty Drakensberg range rises up to 3,482 metres and holds centuries of stories in its rocks and caves. See ancient rock art, take in sweeping mountain views, or cross into Lesotho on a thrilling 4x4 drive up the Sani Pass. Reward yourself with lunch at Africa’s highest pub.

      Connect with Swazi culture in eSwatini

      In the lush valleys of eSwatini, visit a traditional Swazi Chief’s village. Learn about their crimson attire, try local dishes like pap and hearty stews, and experience the warmth of a culture rooted in community and tradition.

      Ride the Table Mountain Cable Car

      Soaring over Cape Town, Table Mountain is one of the most iconic sights in the country. Glide up in a rotating cable car, where you will be greeted by unique plants, curious rock hyraxes, and unforgettable views of the Atlantic and the city below.

      Best museums in South Africa

      Cape Town

      Iziko South African Museum

      Founded in 1825, this museum holds more than 1.5 million specimens. Discover fossils that are hundreds of millions of years old, stone tools crafted over 100,000 years ago, and displays that reveal the deep natural and human history of South Africa.

      Johannesburg

      Apartheid Museum

      This moving museum traces the country’s painful history of racial segregation and the struggle for freedom. Through exhibits and personal stories, it provides an unflinching look at apartheid and the resilience of those who fought for democracy.

      Port Elizabeth

      Nelson Mandela Metropolitan Art Museum

      Renamed in honour of Nelson Mandela, this museum showcases a rich collection of South African and international art. Expect to find Eastern Cape masterpieces alongside Chinese textiles, Indian miniatures, and British prints.

      Best food in South Africa

      Biltong

      A must try snack, biltong is made from strips of beef or game meat like kudu, ostrich, or wildebeest, cured and spiced to perfection. Savour it at markets, pubs, or on safari drives.

      Biryani

      This fragrant dish, rooted in Cape Malay traditions, blends rice, lentils, meat, and vegetables with bold spices such as turmeric, chilli, and garam masala. A hearty meal that brings together the many influences of South African cuisine.

      Amasi

      A beloved dairy dish, amasi is fermented milk with a tangy taste, often compared to yogurt. Traditionally served in clay pots or poured over pap porridge, it is a taste of everyday South African life.
