South Africa

South Africa is one of the most geographically and culturally diverse countries in Africa. Visitors can experience a classic safari in the greater Kruger National Park area, and follow it up with wine tastings and cultural experiences around Cape Town and the Cape Winelands. Sabi Sands near Kruger National park is the home of the luxury conservation safari, and it boasts some of the finest camps in Africa, including Londolozi and Singita. There are also several malaria-free safari options in the dry Kalahari and southern areas near the KwaZulu-Natal coast, which makes South Africa one of the best options for families. First-time visitors to Africa will feel at ease, but the sheer number of things to do makes it a place that veteran travelers can revisit again and again.
