About South Africa
Home to one of the best national parks in the world, Kruger, South Africa sets the scene for an unforgettable safari experience. Few places are better to track the Big Five on safari, but you’ll find everything from waddling penguins to gigantic great white sharks within this epic country.

Whether you want to spend your time on a dirt track looking for wildlife or experience the finest 5-star resort, South Africa offers a great variety of experiences to create your ultimate safari adventure. Authentic and surprisingly affordable, the incredible history and natural beauty of the Rainbow Nation is what makes it the second-most visited nation in Africa.
