South Africa calls itself “A World in One Country” for good reason. It’s a cornucopia of diverse cultures (with 11 official languages), scenery (from starkest desert to lush tropical forests), and wildlife (as varied and rich as any place in Africa). This, along with a beguiling combination of urban modernity and wilderness, keeps it high on our list of travel favorites.
Our travelers enjoy South African pleasures that range from exploring primordial wilderness to luxuriating in the delights of the country’s famed Wine Country and the lush bounty of the Garden Route, a world-class coastline of forested hills, deep lagoons, and shining white beaches. We explore a wonderland of mountain and veldt landscape and wildlife in Kwazulu Natal, the proud kingdom of the Zulus. And we safari in an exclusive game reserve connected to fabled Kruger National Park, which boasts what is probably the continent’s most eclectic congregation of wildlife. All of the so-called Big Five are abundant, and this is surely the best place in the world to see leopards in the wild.
About Geographic Expeditions in Africa. Since much of our Africa business consists of privately arranged safaris, we’re adept at hiring rigorously professional guides with the talent not only to entertain, but also to educate our travelers. Our roster of guides is Africa’s finest (a claim we’re happy to back up). Among our notable ventures: we’ve worked with Richard Leakey, constructed safaris for the Walt Disney Imagineering Team, and helped bring Africa to Hollywood, with location work on the films Out of Africa and The Lion King.
