Southern Africa

The perennial draw of Southern Africa as a favourite holiday destination lies in its colourful diversity of luxury travel, safari, food and wine, and sightseeing experiences.

At the southernmost tip of the African continent, South Africa’s cosmopolitan capital of Cape Town is home to incredible dining options, activities galore for adrenaline junkies, and plenty of cultural excursions. Stay in some of the country’s best luxury lodges while you spot game and all manner of safari wildlife. Explore the beautiful Winelands’ vineyards and wineries to sample some top drops.

With about 40% of its land designated as protected parks and reserves, Botswana is one of Africa’s great game destinations. Meander down the Okavango Delta, the biggest inland delta in the world, in a traditional canoe, or discover the beauty and richness of the area on horseback.

Hailed as ‘Africa’s best kept secret’, Zambia lets you in on a side of Africa that remains relatively unknown, where you can find some of the continent’s best national parks, walking safaris, rivers perfect for fishing and several stylish luxury lodges. Head to Zimbabwe and grab the opportunity to see one of the world’s most picturesque wonders, the majestic Victoria Falls, from the comfort of a helicopter.
