Overview
Why visit South Africa?
South Africa offers more variety in a single trip than almost anywhere else. Cape Town sits beneath the flat top of Table Mountain, with dramatic coastal drives to Cape Point, penguins on the beach at Boulders and the shops and restaurants of the V&A Waterfront. East along the coast, the Garden Route links lagoons, forests and seaside towns.
Then there is the bush. Kruger National Park and the private reserves alongside it offer some of Africa’s finest Big Five safaris, from comfortable lodges with expert rangers, while Sun City, a couple of hours from Johannesburg, pairs a resort and water park with game drives in neighbouring Pilanesberg.
South Africa suits families, honeymooners and groups who want city, coast and safari in one holiday. A large, long-established Indian community means vegetarian and Indian food is easy to find, especially in Johannesburg and Durban. We link the regions with short domestic flights so you spend your time seeing, not driving.

Planning a trip to South Africa
Do Indians need a visa for South Africa?
Yes. Indian passport holders need a visa for South Africa, applied for before travel. The process and documents required change from time to time, so we guide you through the current application.
Is it easy to find Indian and vegetarian food?
Yes. South Africa has a large Indian community, and Indian restaurants are easy to find in Cape Town, Johannesburg and Durban. Safari lodges are used to preparing vegetarian meals when told in advance.
Can we combine Cape Town and a safari in one trip?
Yes, that is the classic plan: four or five nights in Cape Town, a few days on the Garden Route if time allows, then a short flight to the Kruger area for three nights of game drives. A shorter safari at Pilanesberg, near Sun City, suits families with less time.
Is Kruger in a malaria area?
Yes, the Kruger region is a malaria area, although the risk is generally low, so ask your doctor about precautions. Pilanesberg, near Sun City, is malaria-free, which many families with young children prefer.
