LUXURY IN EVERY SENSE OF THE WORD

Could South Africa be the world’s most rewarding travel destination?

From its wildlife-rich bushveld and vineyard-carpeted mountains to Cape Town’s dining scene and miles of golden beaches and diverse cultures, landscapes, people and wildlife, it’s clear to see why Desmond Tutu christened South Africa the Rainbow Nation.

But not only does it offer better value than Western countries, travellers support an industry that employs more than a million people, with many jobs helping impoverished families and communities. Factor in the conservation projects, educational programmes and social upliftment schemes run by lodges and hotels, and it’s clear that a visit to this culturally and naturally abundant country is a win-win for travellers and locals alike.
