Travel Advice & Information
South Africa was made for road trips. From exhilarating guided safaris that promise sightings of the Big Five to chilled out north-bound coastal routes, which pass historic battle sites and seamless stretches of sand, there is something for everyone on South African road trips. Hit the ground running on the Eastern Cape’s Wild Coast, travelling through traditional Zulu villages, undulating dune fields and secluded stretches of coastline, or follow the Garden Route to Plettenberg Bay and beyond. Cut across bottle green landscapes, replete with wild fauna and tropical birdsong, to dramatic cliffs that shelter quaint harbour towns from crashing waves and cool lagoons.
If you hear the call of the wild, head to South Africa’s Sabi Sands Game Reserve for an exhilarating off-road safari. The wildlife spotting will start the moment you draw back your luxurious lodge’s curtains in the morning, and journeying through the 250-square-mile reserve in your 4x4 is sure to guarantee several extraordinary close encounters with elusive leopards, nosy elephant herds and honking rhinos. South Africa road trips aren’t complete without a visit to the country’s beguiling cities. Tower over Cape Town atop Table Mountain, follow in the footsteps of its freedom fighters on Robben Island and at Satyagraha House (Gandhi’s home from 1908-09) and feel the buzz of Jo’burg (Johannesburg) as you sip Umqombothi (traditional African beer) in Sandton. South African road trips really never looked so good.
