South Africa
South Africa
Cape Town, Winelands and the Wilds of Kruger
About This Destination
South Africa offers something rare in travel: an entirely different world on the other side of a two-hour flight. Cape Town is one of the great cities of the world by any measure — its mountains, coastline, and restaurant scene are world-class — and the Winelands sit inside a landscape of almost implausible beauty, where wine estates have been producing for three centuries. A short flight east takes you into a different Africa entirely: the private reserves adjacent to Kruger, where the Big Five move through unfenced wilderness and the dawn game drive is the best hour of any day.
