Why South Africa

South Africa is where safari meets everything else. Kruger and its private neighbours — Sabi Sands, Timbavati — deliver some of the most reliable, best-run Big Five game viewing on the continent.

And then the bush gives way to the Cape: Table Mountain, the Atlantic, and vineyards that have been pouring wine since the seventeenth century.
