Trying to sum up South Africa in just one video is a hard task. 🇿🇦

One minute you're spotting lions on safari, the next you're hiking mountains, sipping world-class w**e, chasing waterfalls, wandering golden beaches or discovering vibrant cities bursting with culture.

The hardest part isn't deciding to visit South Africa... it's deciding what to do first. 😉

Tucked into the foothills of the Maluti Mountains in the Free State, Golden Gate Highlands National Park is known for its sandstone cliffs that glow golden in the afternoon sun. 💛

There’s wildlife to spot, hiking trails to explore and some seriously beautiful mountain scenery… Yet just 2% of UK visitors to South Africa make it to the Free State. A hidden gem worth adding to your list? We think so. 👀🇿🇦

Now this is the definition of 'the scenic route'... 🤩

The Garden Route winds its way along South Africa’s southern coast, passing through lush forests, golden beaches, lagoons and mountain scenery.

Have you driven the Garden Route? What were your favourite spots?

Did you know Blyde River Canyon is the largest green canyon in the world? 💚⛰️ It’s a spectacular addition to a safari itinerary, especially if you’re exploring Mpumalanga’s famous Panorama Route.

Along the route, stop at the Three Rondavels, Bourke’s Luck Potholes and God’s Window for dramatic views. And for a different perspective? Take a boat trip on the Blyde Dam and see the canyon’s towering cliffs from the water. 😍

Just a few of the neighbours you might meet in the Eastern Cape… 🐘🦁🇿🇦 At Kwandwe Private Game Reserve, the Big Five share more than 30,000 hectares of protected wilderness, so there’s plenty to keep you looking out of the safari vehicle.

Add beautiful scenery and a warm welcome back at the lodge, and you’ve got plenty of reasons to put the Eastern Cape on your safari wish list.
