Where do you start on a first visit to Africa, such an immense and diverse continent? You have many good choices, but out of them all, Southern Africa is the best place to begin your discovery. To start, South Africa has it all; magnificent wildlife, breathtaking beaches, awe-inspiring mountains, delicious food, award winning wines and of course the beautiful and cosmopolitan city of Cape Town. Pair that with excellent infrastructure and you have a winning formula.

To complete your first African experience, you could add a trip to Victoria Falls and the Okavango Delta, and in this way see Southern Africa’s greatest destinations in one trip. Ending with some downtime on the white sand beaches and azure waters of the Bazaruto Archipelago is also possible.
