South Africa is a beautiful and diverse country on the southernmost tip of the African continent, marked by several distinct ecosystems.
There is something for every interest when visiting South Africa, and it is not just a once off holiday destination .
With 82 battlefields, museums, and old fortifications in central and northern KwaZulu-Natal were once the focal point of major military engagements, where Zulu, Boer and British forces clashed in bloody conflicts that shaped the course of South Africa and rocked the pedestal of the British Empire. The Apartheid tour will introduce you to the history of South Africa. The breathtaking beauty of the Garden Route or Namaqualand Flower Route, and the Winelands.
And for the adrenaline junkies out there you can abseil down Table Mountain, zip-line through hills and treetop canopies, bungee jump 200 metres of the Bloukrans Bridge, cage dive with Great White sharks, and so much more.
Join us, Livingstone's Africa Safaris, and Discover The Heart of South Africa.
