Discover the best of South Africa

Home » Blog » Discover the best of South Africa

12 October 2025

South Africa isn’t just one thing – and that’s exactly why we love it. You’ve got Cape Town’s creative energy, those rolling Winelands with some of the best cool-climate vintages you’ll ever try, and wild, open plains where your morning wake-up call is a lion’s roar. Whether your clients are all about food and design, obsessed with wildlife, or want a bit of everything, South Africa delivers in spades.

We know this place inside out. Our team can craft the kind of trip that suits them perfectly – boutique city stays, owner-run vineyards, private safaris, off-the-map adventures. Below, you’ll find an example itinerary to inspire their plans (but it’s just a starting point – we’ll tailor every detail).

And because we believe in sharing the good stuff, there’s also a free downloadable South Africa guide packed with our best tips, secrets, and must-knows to help you sell the dream with confidence.

Cape Town isn’t just scenic – it’s seriously stylish. Think mornings hiking up Table Mountain or strolling colourful Bo-Kaap streets, and afternoons browsing art galleries or sipping cocktails on the waterfront. Your clients can eat their way through award-winning restaurants, discover indie neighbourhood markets, or take in ocean views from a rooftop bar. It’s the perfect gateway for travellers who want a city break that feels equal parts culture, adventure, and laid-back coastal cool.

If there’s a better spot for long, lazy vineyard lunches, we haven’t found it. Franschhoek is South Africa’s culinary capital, home to small-batch wineries, farm-to-table restaurants, and mountain-backed estates that are as photogenic as they are welcoming. La Petite Ferme is the sort of place where they’ll wake up to panoramic vineyard views, taste the region’s best cool-climate wines, and explore artisan shops and galleries that feel a world away from the usual tourist trail. It’s luxury that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

Garonga Safari Camp isn’t mass-market safari. It’s canvas-tent luxury in a private reserve where conservation is at the heart of everything. Days start with coffee around the fire before heading out on small-group game drives with guides who know every track and story. Bush walks let clients see the land up close (and feel the thrill of being on foot in Big Five territory), while evenings bring lantern-lit dinners and stargazing from an outdoor bath. It’s the kind of safari that feels personal, thoughtful, and seriously memorable.
