South Africa Tour Packages

South Africa is the most complete safari destination for a first-time visitor to Africa — it combines the Big Five with a world-class city, a wine region, a spectacular coastal drive and infrastructure that simply works.

Why travellers choose South Africa

Kruger and the private reserves around it deliver Big Five sightings with a reliability few other parks match, and self-drive is genuinely feasible inside Kruger itself.

Cape Town is one of the most beautifully situated cities anywhere, with Table Mountain rising directly behind the waterfront and beaches on both sides of the peninsula.

The rand makes it excellent value for Indian travellers, and the Winelands, the Garden Route and Cape Point add variety that a safari-only destination cannot.

What not to miss in South Africa

• Kruger National Park — Big Five game drives, either self-drive in the main park or guided in the adjoining private reserves.
• Table Mountain — The rotating cable car, or the Platteklip Gorge walk for those who would rather earn it.
• Cape Peninsula — Cape Point, Boulders Beach penguins and the Chapman's Peak coastal drive.
• Cape Winelands — Stellenbosch and Franschhoek estates, with the wine tram a relaxed way to see several.
• Garden Route — Knysna, Tsitsikamma and Plettenberg Bay along the southern coast.
• Sun City — Resort complex with the Valley of the Waves, popular with families and groups.

When to travel

May to September is the dry winter and the best game viewing — sparse vegetation and animals concentrating at waterholes. It is also whale season along the Cape coast. November to March is summer, greener and hotter, better for Cape Town beaches but harder for spotting wildlife. The shoulder months of April and October balance both well.

Entry and paperwork

Indian passport holders require a South African visa applied for in advance through the consulate or an authorised centre, with biometrics. Processing can take several weeks and additional documentation is required for travellers with children, including unabridged birth certificates. We handle the full documentation set.
