Getting Around South Africa

Getting Around South Africa

South Africa covers an area of 1 221 037 square kilometres, so getting around a country this size should be a challenge - but alas it is not.

Fly, drive, motorbike or get driven, those are just a few of the numerous choices one has when travelling around this amazing country.

The below options of getting between destinations are by far and away the most popular that our clientele asks for. Flying is the most popular choice as one gets to spend more time at any given destination. Self-driving between destinations comes in a close second as one gets to experience the South Africa countryside and her people. At the end of the day, it always boils down to what you like when travelling.

Of interest, South Africa ranks No. 10 in the World for the length of her road network - 747 014 km's of roads are on offer for you town explore (if of course, you have the time).

    A scheduled safari or tour not starting on the dates you have available or you are travelling in a small group? Then why not look at a private safari, the price might not be as high as you think it might be. These safaris are ideal for small groups of families or simply those who like privacy.

    This is something that we strongly feel that all visitors to South Africa need to partake in, a luxury rail safari. Having down a few times ourselves we can highly recommend a train safari as part and parcel of any trip to this country. Go old school, you will not regret it at all.

    Motorbike Rentals

    Motorbike rentals and tours are very popular in South Africa, especially in the summer months. Whether you hire one for a self-drive tour of the entire country or simply hire one when in Cape Town for a few days, the choice is yours. BMW, Honda and Harley-Davidson are most popular.
