South Africa is the most beautiful country on earth and Africa safari lodges are the best way to see the real South Africa. In the 2006 Reader's Travel Awards by UK magazine Condé Nast Traveller, South Africa's scenery scored 97.8% - the highest in the world - with the country being voted the world's fifth-best tourist destination.

A number of factors combine to make South Africa the ideal country to combine with your travels elsewhere in southern Africa. Johannesburg is a major flight hub for the region, and your flights to and from the UK may well touch down or take off from here so taking a few days to explore the country could not be easier. South Africa also breaks down into a number of short, accessible itineraries, so
whichever aspects of South Africa most interests you it will be possible to incorporate them into your plans. There is a wonderful diversity of experiences available in South Africa. Many people choose to spend time in Cape Town, the
vibrant iconic city nestled beneath Table Mountain. It also serves as a great base for visiting the nearby Winelands, a pretty area of mountains and vines that is one of the best places to enjoy the renowned South African food and wine. Also in the Cape Region is the coast of Walker Bay, where whale sightings are prolific from July to December. The province of KwaZulu-Natal is proving an increasingly
popular draw for visitors - a popularity that is best understood by spending a few days spent exploring the soaring peaks of the Drakensberg and the legendary battlefields of Isandlwana and Rorke’s Drift.With this and plenty more on offer, South Africa is the perfect place to round off a visit to the region.
