South Africa Safari and Beach Vacations…

Wildlife wonders and coastal serenity make for a perfect adventure blend

South Africa offers an enchanting fusion of safari and beach holidays, presenting a diverse and memorable travel experience.

South Africa offers the perfect combination of safari and beach holidays, where you can seamlessly blend the excitement of the African bush with the tranquillity of stunning beaches. Start your journey in iconic game reserves like Kruger National Park or Sabi Sand Private Game Reserve, where expert guides lead you through the wilderness, offering intimate insights into the secrets of the African bush. Witnessing the Big Five – elephants, lions, leopards, rhinos, and buffalo – in their natural habitat is an unforgettable experience.

After your safari, head to South Africa's beautiful coast for the ideal beach retreat. Cape Town is home to pristine beaches like Camps Bay, where the Twelve Apostles mountains form a dramatic backdrop. Here, you can indulge in world-class cuisine and explore the vibrant city scene.

For a unique twist, combine both safari and beach by venturing along the Garden Route. This scenic stretch of coastline offers golden beaches, lush forests, and breathtaking marine life. Tsitsikamma National Park and Knysna are highlights, providing opportunities for coastal hikes, lagoon exploration, and unforgettable views.

If you're looking for the ultimate luxury beach escape, take a short flight from Johannesburg to Mozambique after your safari. Known for its luxurious resorts and warm, crystal-clear waters, Mozambique offers a serene environment perfect for relaxation. Whether you’re looking for a family-friendly retreat or a romantic getaway, the tranquil beaches provide an ideal setting to unwind.

With its perfect balance of wildlife encounters and beach bliss, South Africa is a destination that offers both adventure and relaxation, making it an extraordinary place to create lasting memories.

Our South Africa specialist, Tamara, says:

“There’s something really special about ending your safari with a few days on the beach. After the early mornings and adrenaline of game drives, kicking back on the coast gives you space to soak it all in. South Africa makes it so easy to do both — one day you're watching a leopard in the wild, the next you're sipping something cold with your feet in the sand. It’s that contrast that makes the experience feel so balanced, and so unforgettable.”
