South Africa is justly known for the excellence of its wildlife and is one of the classic safari destinations. The big five - elephant, rhino, lion, leopard and buffalo - are all to be found here, as are a multitude of other animals and birds. National Parks such as Pilanesburg, near to Sun City, and of course the vast Kruger, combined with the many private reserves and highly trained guides and rangers, offer a wonderful game experience to the visitor. The good road infrastructure in South Africa provides plenty of scope for self drive holidays. Also South Africa offers one of the most diverse and dramatic golfing experiences anywhere in the world with an unbeatable combination of top courses, and a superb climate that allows year-round play. The more adventurous or repeat visitor may wish to tailor-make his holiday, hiring a car and choosing accommodation along the chosen route. Others may wish to "stay put" in Cape Town, Durban or any of the other holiday centers, while others may wish to go on a fully escorted (guided) tour, which is guaranteed to give the best introduction to the country and its people.

modified open 4x4 vehicles, in some areas, you can walk through the bush
on foot, accompanied by armed guides.
