Undisputedly one of the world’s most beautiful destinations, South Arica is a firm favourite for Fahy Travel. All of the sales team have personal experience and it is a definite bucket list trip.
Cape Town offers an irresistible blend of spectacular scenery, luxurious accommodation, exceptional cuisine and an abundance of sightseeing and entertainment. At the heart of the city’s vibrant atmosphere is the V&A Waterfront, where designer boutiques, two craft markets, an impressive selection of restaurants and bars, cinemas and live entertainment provide something for every visitor. It is also the departure point for sunset cruises and excursions to Robben Island, while the iconic Table Mountain Cableway offers breathtaking panoramic views across the city and coastline. With so much to see and experience, it is little wonder that Cape Town continues to rank among the world’s most desirable holiday destinations.
A visit to Cape Town would not be complete without exploring the nearby Winelands, perfect for an overnight or a day trip, savour the exceptional wines, gourmet cuisine and relaxed charm of the historic towns of Stellenbosch or Franschhoek and the surrounding countryside.
For those seeking an unforgettable wildlife experience, South Africa offers an outstanding choice of private game reserves and the experienced sales team in Fahy Travel have been to most of them. The Eastern Cape, at the end of the Garden Route offers the most popular safari experience, with a choice of excellent reserves offering luxurious, malaria-free game-viewing experiences. For the ultimate safari adventure, Kruger National Park region is hard to beat. Renowned for its remarkable diversity of wildlife, it is one of Africa’s finest destinations for spotting the legendary Big Five: lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo. Staying in a private game reserve adds another dimension to the experience, as guided game drives can venture off-road, where permitted, offering the opportunity to get close to the animals while observing them in their natural surroundings.
No holiday to South Africa is complete without a drive along the famous Garden Route, a spectacular stretch of coastline dotted with charming towns and sought-after seaside resorts. Plettenberg Bay is renowned for its beautiful beaches,
while Knysna is famous for its magnificent sandstone Heads. Whether your interests lie in relaxing on golden sands, tackling scenic hiking trails, playing championship golf or discovering the region’s natural beauty, the Garden Route has something for everyone. One of the best ways to experience this diverse region is on a self-drive holiday, allowing you the freedom to explore at your own pace and discover hidden gems along the way.
When to visit
South Africa’s seasons offer something different throughout the year. December and January are the main summer holiday months, bringing warm weather and a lively atmosphere to coastal resorts. Autumn, particularly May and June, can be an excellent time for hiking and exploring, with generally pleasant days and cooler evenings. From July to September, winter brings colder conditions and rainfall to the Western Cape, while the drier winter months in many safari regions can provide excellent opportunities for wildlife viewing.
