South Africa scenic tours

Boasting almost 3,000 km of stunning coastline, landscapes ranging from semi-desert to tropical forest and an impressive array of natural wonders, South Africa brims with scenic diversity and grandeur. Whether you’re hiking the Blyde River Canyon, hovering over the ocean on Storms River Suspension Bridge, or tasting wine at Cathedral Peak, you’ll feel you’re in a country like no other.

Guided Scenic Tours in South Africa for UK Travellers

On Garden Route tours, you can take an exhilarating ride to the summit of Cape Town’s iconic flat-topped Table Mountain, affording sweeping vistas of city and coast. Highlights also include Cape Agulhas, the southernmost tip of Africa and the meeting point of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, and the amazing 20 million-year-old Cango Caves. Meanwhile, the beauty of Robberg Nature Reserve, prolific in the "fynbos" scrubland that is unique to South Africa, draws visitors from all over the globe.

Other scenic trips follow the Panorama Route in Mpumalanga province, which has the magnificent Blyde River Canyon, the world’s third largest canyon, as its centrepiece. The region also boasts a wealth of ancient cave systems, waterfalls and quirky natural phenomena such as the Three Rondavels – a trio of hills shaped like grass huts. Not to be missed is the God’s Window vantage point, which at 2,000 metres high offers mesmerising views over the canyon and the Lowveld.

South Africa Nature Holidays

Hiking tours in South Africa often head to the Drakensberg Mountains, with such spectacular landmarks as the Amphitheatre, Tugela Gorge and Tugela Falls, the second highest waterfall on Earth. Safari lovers will enjoy the varied terrain of Kruger National Park, which counts rivers, granite hills and mopane forests among its diverse habitats. Wine enthusiasts, meanwhile, can sample their favourite tipple in the exquisitely pretty surroundings of the Cape Winelands.

For scenic travel adventures, Africa reigns supreme. Browse all our African nature holidays for an even wider range of options.
