“We had the most fabulous holiday and are super pleased with the
accommodations you have recommended. We totally fell in love with the country and definitely want to come back...”
Suzie
“In the meantime we have already adapted to our daily life, but we still think about the beautiful journey every day. It was fantastic. Thank you for your tips to visit Kalk Bay and De Kelders. We have not seen any whales in Hermanus, but we have seen 8 in De Kelders. The hotels were beautiful, I thought Franschhoek was the best. In short, the trip was beautiful and super organized.”
Ellen and Yves
“We truly have had an amazing and wonderful honeymoon and we can't thank you enough. We also very much enjoyed meeting you! Yesterday we opened the bottle of red you gave us and apart from the fact that it is a very enjoyable wine it was very thoughtful and a nice way of looking back on our wonderful trip. Thank you again and we hope to come back again!”

South Africa
Situated at the southern tip of Africa, South Africa is 1 233 404km² in size and is edged on three sides by nearly 3 000km of coastline, with the Indian Ocean to the east and the Atlantic Ocean to the west. The country is bordered in the north by Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Mozambique, and encloses two independent countries, the kingdoms of Lesotho and Swaziland. There are nine provinces in South Africa, namely: Eastern Cape, Free State, Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo, Mpumalanga, Northern Cape, North West and Western Cape.
The tourism industry is well established with an exciting sector of emerging entrepreneurs. The country is strong on adventure, sport, nature and wildlife, and is a pioneer and global leader in responsible tourism.
South Africa is known for its long sunny days, hence the title, ‘Sunny South Africa’. Most of the nine provinces have summer rainfall, except for the Western Cape, which experiences winter rainfall. The high-lying areas of the interior can be chilly in winter.
South Africa is a multilingual country and there are 11 official languages, namely: English, Afrikaans, isiNdebele, isiXhosa, isiZulu, Sepedi, Sesotho, Setswana, Siswati, Tshivenda and Xitsonga. Although only about 10% of the population has English as its mother tongue, English is the language most widely understood, and is the second language of the majority of South Africans.
