South Africa Multi-Centre Holidays

South Africa is so diverse that you can easily enjoy a multi-centre holiday within its borders. We’d recommend visiting at least three different places, and you should aim to see a mix of cities and natural landscapes if you can.

You could start in vibrant Cape Town, where you’ll have a few days to tick off all the major attractions. Next, you could head to the Cape Winelands and sip delicious vintages in the sunshine. Or you could go whale-watching in Hermanus, before heading along the Garden Route. This famous drive runs parallel to the coast, weaving past sweeping beaches, green hills and dramatic mountains. And you can round off your South Africa multi-centre by going on an incredible safari.

Alternatively, discover the country’s eastern half. You’ll start your trip in multicultural Durban, where you can stroll around the India District and relax on sun-soaked beaches. Next, you can explore KwaZulu Natal, learn about Zulu culture, and visit famous Anglo-Zulu battlefields like Rorke's Drift. Wrap things up in Kruger National Park, where you’ll go on game drives in search of the ‘Big Five’.

If you’re dreaming of an African adventure, we’ve got just the thing. On our epic two-week holiday, you can discover South Africa, Zambia and Botswana. From the bustling city of Cape Town and the lush winelands you will go north to Victoria Falls, one of the winders of the world. Finally, you’ll travel to Botswana. Roughly the size of Spain, this beautiful country is home to all kinds of wildlife, including the ‘Big Five’ – and you’ll be able to see them for yourself on safari in Chobe National Park. 

For a truly memorable experience why not add on a trip to Rwanda or Uganda and visit the elusive mountain gorillas? This epic trip truly is a once in a lifetime adventure, and spending time with these magnificent creatures will take your breath away.

Or for a perfect beach escape why not add-on a week on the white-sand beaches of Zanzibar or Mozambique and experience the captivating combination of beautiful beaches and African culture.

This South Africa multi-centre holiday allows you to combine city, safari and beach – the perfect trio. You’ll spend three nights in Cape Town, before spending a few days on an amazing safari. You’ll go on game drives to see the ‘Big Five’ as well as giraffes, zebra, warthogs and more. And your guide will be able to point out a variety of beautiful birds. After a busy week, it’s time to relax. You’ll jet off to picture-perfect Mauritius, where white-sand beaches, turquoise waters and luxurious resorts await. Surrounded by the Indian Ocean, this paradisiacal island boasts colourful coral reefs and fantastic snorkelling, as well as decent waves for surfing and watersports.

There’s plenty to discover on dry land, too. Go zip-lining through Mauritius’ bird-filled forests, and hike through Black River Gorges National Park past babbling waterfalls and lush valleys. Or visit Chamarel to see the famous Seven Coloured Earths – a natural phenomenon where the ground is different shades of pink, purple, orange and yellow.

If you’re keen to break up the journey to South Africa, why not fly via the Middle East? You can see the highlights of Dubai or Abu Dhabi, before continuing on to Cape Town. It’s easy to fill a few days in extravagant Dubai. You can visit iconic landmarks, like the sky-piercing Burj Khalifa and the Palm Islands. Lose yourself among the endless shops of Dubai Mall, and ride rollercoasters at Dubai Parks and Resorts™. And, in the evenings, you can hop between Dubai’s rooftop bars and award-winning restaurants.

Alternatively, you could start your South Africa multi-centre in Abu Dhabi. The capital of the United Arab Emirates, this grand city boasts incredible architecture, luxurious hotels and world-class shops. Marvel at the enormous Sheikh Zayed Mosque and go dune-bashing in the desert. Relax on one of Abu Dhabi’s blonde beaches and stroll along the sun-soaked Corniche. Or get in the mood for your African safari with a visit to Sir Bani Yas Island, where you’ll find cheetahs, gazelles and giraffes.
