South Africa is a large, diverse and incredibly beautiful country with breathtaking natural views! This is the place where the Indian Ocean meets the Atlantic giving life to diverse sea creatures! You will find there almost 3 000 kilometres of coastline and massive geodiversity. Expect to find here majestic animals such as rhinos, elephants, buffalos, lions, leopards and great white sharks, as well as diverse plant life and indigenous forests.
South Africa's wine industry dates back over three centuries. A trip to Cape Winelands region is a journey of indulgence. Most of the local vineyards are located in the lush Boland Basin, around 80 km (50 miles) to the northeast of Cape Town. The river valleys are ideal for growing a number of varietals, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz and Pinot Noir. Explore the beautiful estates, sampling award-winning wines in cool cellars.

The alluring coast of the Algarve receives much exposure for its breathtaking cliffs, golden beaches, scalloped bays and sandy islands. But ‘sun, surf and sand’ is far from the end of the Algarve story; there’s no shortage of other attractions – activities, beach bars, castles, diving, entertainment and fun! Behind sections of the south coast’s beachscape loom massive conglomerations of bland holiday villas and brash resorts. However, the west coast is another story – one more about nature and less about development.
Faro is probably the most famous city in the Algarve region of southern Portugal. Amazing sandy beaches and beautiful nature, that’s what you can find in the Parque Natural da Ria Formosa, nearby Faro. The city itself has an attractive marina, well-maintained parks and plazas, and a historic old town full of pedestrian lanes and outdoor cafes. If you dream about at least few days in a pleasant environment, Faro is an ideal place for you.
The enchanting inner Algarve boasts pretty castle towns and historic villages, surrounded by the cork tree covered hillsides. You should head to Silves, the former capital of the Algarve, to explore its red stone castle. Far from the coast, Loulé is a busy market town with a 12th century castle. A visit to castle of Aljezur or Salir is also worth a trip.
In the south you can visit the impressive Castelo de Castro Marim, Torre da Medronheira near Olhos de Agua or Castelo de Tavira with its unique garden. The atmospheric ruins of Paderne Castle sit high on a hilltop. Built by the Moors in the 12th century, the castle overlooks the Quarteira River where a well-preserved Roman bridge can still be crossed.Lagos is the old inner city inside the remnants of a protective wall, with narrow winding streets and the Governor's Castle.
