SOUTHERN AFRICA is Africa at its most memorable, an astonishingly-diverse region fused by its prolific wildlife, breathtaking landscapes, and deeply-rooted cultures.

South Africa, Lesotho, and eSwatini (Swaziland) are a microcosm of the African continent, containing dramatic mountain ranges, golden crescent beaches, wildernesses teeming with wildlife, vibrant cities, and centuries of history. The incomparable city of Cape Town—where Table Mountain overlooks markets, museums, and the townships sprawling towards the vineyard-clad mountains and grand Cape Dutch estates of the Winelands—tops most travelers’ lists alongside Kruger National Park, legendary home of the Big Five (lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant and rhino).

Ever wanted to experience the raw, natural beauty of Africa? Alive with exotic wildlife and lush with extraordinary landscapes, Botswana and Namibia unfurl so many unforgettable moments.
