General information

While Kruger Park and Cape Town are the stars of South Africa, there’s so much more to explore, and the journey in-between is not to be missed. Our experienced travel team have shared their top tips on the best means to travel around South Africa, and how to make the most of this diverse country.
Self-drive
4×4
For families looking for a fun and adventurous way to explore South Africa, hopping onto a 4-wheel drive with a roof tent is a fantastic option! It gives you the freedom to discover the breathtaking landscapes at your own pace. After a day packed with exciting activities, you can cosy up around a campfire, gazing at the stars, and then crawl into your tent, listening to the sounds of nature as you drift off to sleep. And don’t worry about packing up in the morning; folding up your tent takes just five minutes! This means you can easily hit the road and move on to your next campsite.
Domestic flights and private transfers
If you’re short on time but still want to see as much of South Africa as possible, consider taking a domestic flight. There are daily flights connecting major cities like Johannesburg, Cape Town, Port Elizabeth, and Durban. So buckle up and get ready for an adventure your family won’t forget!
