South Africa

If you want to see and experience exceptional wildlife in the best possible conditions, South Africa is the place to go. And it's a safe bet that you'll spot the Big Five, whether by 4×4, on horseback or even on foot. The coast and ocean are equally rich in wildlife, from whales and great white sharks to penguins and seals. A country so diverse in its landscapes and culture that it's hard to see it all in a single trip. But it's a pleasant place to visit, thanks to its excellent roads and quality accommodation. And the food in this mixed-race destination is just as good.
