Top Things To Do In South Africa
Unforgettable Game Drives
One of the most exhilarating ways to experience the untouched wilderness of South Africa is through game drives. These guided excursions into national parks allow you to experience breathtaking landscapes and encounter iconic wildlife, including the renowned "Big Five" - lions, leopards, rhinoceroses, elephants, and African buffaloes. My experiences with The Africa Safari Co during numerous game drives were nothing short of incredible.
Savouring Sundowners In The African Bush
The highlight of my African safari was undoubtedly the afternoon sundowner. Picture yourself with a glass of red in hand surrounded by the echos of wild animals. Words can’t describe how truly unique and breathtaking it was.
Exploring Kruger National Park
No visit to South Africa is complete without a journey to Kruger National Park, the continent's largest national park. Here, amidst stunning landscapes, you'll encounter over 800 fascinating wildlife species, making it a prime location for spotting the Big Five in their natural habitat.

Indulge in an unforgettable African culinary experience at Gold Restaurant, where the flavours of tradition come alive. We delighted in a 14-course menu of mouthwatering traditional African dishes, served with warmth by friendly staff and accompanied by exceptional traditional entertainment- a mix of African dancing, singing and puppetry.
