A quick guide to the major regions of southern Africa:

Cape Town & Garden Route
One of the most popular holiday destinations for Africa, Cape Town is a great place to explore the nearby Wineland regions and the famous Garden Route. Cape Town is also the parliamentary capital of South Africa. The Garden Route stretches for 480km along the South African coastline and is home to fantastic lagoons, beaches and breathtaking scenery.

Eastern Cape & KwaZulu-Natal
Less developed than the Western Cape; the Eastern Cape is a beautiful province with a remarkable natural diversity, ranging from lush evergreen forests to rugged wilderness and arid landscapes. KwaZulu-Natal is another popular destination in southern Africa, offering warm beaches, game reserves and the buzzing city of Durban.

Mpumalanga, Kruger & The North
Popular for its breathtaking and diverse scenery, Mpumalanga is also known as 'Big Game Country', due to the world famous Kruger National Park which offers some of the continent’s best game viewing. The North is home to one of southern Africa’s largest cities, Johannesburg. After undergoing recent rejuvenations, Johannesburg now offers vibrant nightlife with a beautiful climate.

Botswana & Namibia
Botswana and Namibia are both relatively unspoilt and are becoming popular holiday destinations with visitors who want to see other parts of Africa. Experience the Desert Express train in Namibia, the Okavango Delta in Botswana and the Namibian capital, Windhoek.

Indian Ocean
Perhaps the most idyllic paradise islands in the world, Mauritius and the Seychelles offer white sandy beaches and a wonderfully laidback island feel - perfect for those who love luxurious beach holidays. An island holiday should also offer activities, and Mauritius and the Seychelles don’t disappoint with sporting activities such as diving, deep sea fishing, sailing and golf, plus trekking and mountain biking.
