South Africa

A beautiful country, South Africa is a unique corner of the world, famous for its history and iconic leader Mandela. Cape winelands, magnificent wild beaches, wildlife and endless views, South Africa offers every kind of landscape and holiday you can think of. With a deep-seated, painful history, the Republic of South Africa is a young democracry, still recovering from the damages of Apartheid. Despite this, everywhere you go, you will be greeted with a friendly smile and hospitality that is beyond anything you have ever experienced before.

South Africa makes an excellent place to stop over on your journey on your way into, or out of, Africa. Spend a few nights visiting the famous Kruger National Park, or stop off in Cape Town for a taste of culture, cuisine and fine wines. Here are just a few of the things Cross Africa & Co. can offer you in South Africa

  • Wine tour accompanied by your own Private sommelier
  • Horse riding on Noordhoek Beach
  • Visit the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa
  • Cape Point National Park and walk to sea point and have lunch overlooking the Atlantic ocean
  • Learn to surf at Muizenburg beach
  • Hike up Table Mountain (or take the cable car)
  • Culinary cooking tour through the Bo-Kaap area
  • Take the ferry to join the tour of Robben Island, where Mandela spent his time in prison
  • Mountain biking through the winelands
  • While stopping over in Johannesburg, visit the Apartheid Museum or the Cradle of Humankind
  • If scuba diving is one of your passions, Sodwana is a less famous, but definitely not disappointing, secret diving spot, well known to all the locals for whale shark and turtle sightings
  • South Africa has a number of National Parks that are worth visiting. The Greater Kruger National Park offers back packing rustic safaris as well as some of the most luxurious camps in the world. A trip to Tswalu in the Kalahari is also an incredible area to look for the endangered Pangolin
  • Fly fishing in the Drakensberg mountain range or en route to your safari destination, a good stopover location… think of red wine and fireplaces
