Travel to South Africa and take a tour of its national parks teeming with wildlife, endless beaches, diverse landscapes, modern cities, and world-class culinary destinations—the ideal way to get to know the African continent. These trips offer a high standard of accommodations, restaurants, and infrastructure, while also providing the best value for money of any travel destination in Southern Africa.
South Africa is a very diverse travel destination. It offers well-known classics, lesser-known gems, and true hidden gems. We at SA Travel have selected the 7 best South Africa trips for 2026/2027 just for you. Depending on your preferences and the time you have available, you’re sure to find the perfect itinerary for your dream trip to South Africa. Join us on a journey to the most beautiful cape in the world.
On our self-drive tours, you’ll explore South Africa at your own pace and discover the country. This is the most personalized—and at the same time, the most affordable—way to travel. You can start your trip any day, and we’ll tailor the itinerary to your preferences in advance. We’ll provide you with comprehensive travel documents, including a guidebook, a road map, and a tour book customized to your route, complete with important information and travel tips.
On our small-group tours of South Africa, you’ll travel with a maximum of eight other people. You’ll travel in an air-conditioned vehicle and be guided by a German-speaking tour guide (except for Drifters camping and explorer tours, which are English-speaking and accommodate up to 16 people). All small-group tours depart on fixed dates and can only be customized with pre- or post-tour itineraries.
Our privately guided tours of South Africa are designed for pre-established groups (couples, families, friends) who wish to travel throughout the trip with their own private tour guide (either German- or English-speaking). No other, unrelated individuals will be joining the group. These privately guided tours can begin any day and can be tailored to your preferences at any point along the way.
Don't feel like driving yourself, but don't want to be in a small group and can do without the full-service support of a private tour guide? Then our South Africa chauffeur-driven tours are just right for you. Transfers will take you from place to place, where you'll participate in guided activities. Our chauffeur-driven tours are conducted in English and depart daily for groups of two or more; customizations to the itinerary are possible.
Haven't found the right trip in our extensive selection? No problem! Based on your individual preferences, we can plan your very own personalized trip to South Africa—whether you'd like to drive yourself in a rental car, travel with an English-speaking chauffeur, or be accompanied by your own private German-speaking tour guide. Choose from three-star to five-star accommodations. Contact us directly to customize your dream trip.
