EPIC South Africa

One of the best known ‘Jewels’ of the African Continent

Epic Journeys

South Africa

South Africa offers a great diversity of landscapes, experiences and history.

The inclusion of Cape Town , set against the backdrop of Table Mountain, is a must for any visit to South Africa.  In our experience, a minimum of 3 nights is needed.

Ideally you should allow 5 nights and divide your stay between Cape Town and the Winelands, with its rolling vineyards and picturesque mountains.  The distinctive Cape Dutch architecture, oak-shaded streets lined with cafes, boutiques and art galleries, make them a popular destination with locals and tourists alike.

    This vast country is undoubtedly one of the most culturally and geographically diverse places on earth. Fondly known by locals as the ‘Rainbow Nation’, South Africa has 11 official languages and its multicultural inhabitants are influenced by a fascinating mix of African, Asian and European cultures. Spend your days: discovering the gourmet restaurants, impressive art and nightlife scenes and fine beaches of Cape Town; enjoying a typical local braai (barbecue) in the Soweto township; browsing the bustling Indian markets in Durban; or sampling some of the world’s finest wines at the myriad wine estates dotted around the picturesque Cape Winelands. Due to its rich and turbulent history there are plenty of historical attractions to explore including the Zululand battlefields of KwaZulu-Natal, the Apartheid Museum in Johannesburg and Robben Island, just off the coast of Cape Town. Above all else, South Africa’s attraction lies in its remarkably untamed wilderness with its astonishing range of wildlife roaming freely across massive unfenced game reserves such as the world famous Kruger National Park. With all of this variety on offer, it is little wonder that South Africa has fast become Africa’s most popular tourist destination.

    The Singita lodges in South Africa are undoubtedly among the very best on the continent. If you have a penchant for luxury and/or limited time on safari then a stay at Singita is the best option.

    The game-viewing is superb with all the big game in attendance.

    These lodges make for a great combination with Cape Town or partaking in a longer safari into the interior of the region such as Botswana or Zambia.
