Travel to South Africa

One of the most diverse and enchanting countries in the world South Africa offers the traveller a unique and inspiring experience. Exotic combinations of landscapes, people, history and culture make a visit to South Africa a must for every Australian.

South Africa Sightseeing

On the very southern tip of Africa lies a large land whose generous endowment on the natural beauty front provides plenty of ticks on most travellers' desirable destination wish-lists. South Africa's pristine beaches, majestic mountains, great quantity and variety of animal and plant life make it an obvious and compelling travel destination. Though visitors undoubtedly find themselves uniquely enchanted by the country's dramatically varied landscape, abundant wildlife, pulsing cities and innumerable eco-tourist and outdoor adventure possibilities, it is the people of South Africa that constitute this country's singular charm.

Experience South Africa up close and personal

South Africa is famous for its national parks and game reserves, where tourists can see Africa's Big Five legendary mammals - the lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant and rhinoceros. The parks also contain many other species of plant and animal life as well as many different kinds of comfortable accommodation.

Johannesburg - the City of Gold

Known as the gateway to Africa, Johannesburg is a city literally built on gold. Established in 1886 when gold was struck, the city has been rebuilt four times in the past century - it started as a tent town, worked up to a tin-shack settlement, a four-storey Edwardian settlement and finally graduated as a modern city of glass and concrete skyscrapers. It's one of the youngest major cities in the world and is a mélange of African cultures, and is quite possibly the most cosmopolitan city on the continent.

Cape Town - in the Shadow of the Mountain

Affectionately known as the Mother City, Cape Town is South Africa's oldest city. Founded in 1652 by Jan van Riebeeck and his band of Dutch settlers, Cape Town is rated one of the most beautiful cities in the world - the backdrop of flat-topped Table Mountain juxtaposed by the sweep of the Atlantic Ocean in the foreground.
