South Africa is a country renowned for exploration, and a multi-centre holiday allows you to uncover its many contrasts in a single trip. From cosmopolitan Cape Town and the laid-back Winelands to Big Five safaris and beautiful coastal escapes, each destination offers something different. Perfect for romantic escapes, family adventures and honeymoons, South Africa multi-centre holidays make it easy to combine the country's most iconic destinations into one trip. Browse our suggested itineraries below or let our travel specialists create a tailor-made journey designed around you.
Cape Town offers a very different experience from a safari in the bush or a drive along the Garden Route, which is why many travellers choose to visit more than one area. Exploring more than one destination gives you a broader view of South Africa, combining city stays, wildlife experiences and time by the coast in a single trip. Spend time in South Africa’s cities to learn more about the rich history and culture, then head out on safari for a chance to spot the Big Five. Add beaches and world-class food and wine regions to the mix, and you’ll experience an even wider range of what the country has to offer.
Visit Cape Town, home to Table Mountain and the V&A Waterfront, before taking a trip to Robben Island to discover South Africa’s history. Drive the spectacular Garden Route, stopping at coastal towns and viewpoints along the way. Wine lovers can spend time enjoying the Cape Winelands, while wildlife enthusiasts can visit Boulders Beach to see the penguin colony or head to Hermanus for seasonal whale watching. Enjoy a safari in Kruger National Park to spot the Big Five or stay in a private game reserve for an even more exclusive experience. Adventure seekers can try shark cage diving, bungee jumping, and zip-lining. Those looking for relaxation can end their trip on South Africa’s coastline or continue to Mauritius or the Seychelles.
South Africa is a year-round destination, but the best time to visit depends on what you want to do. For safaris, the dry winter months (May to September) offer the best wildlife viewing. Cape Town and the Garden Route are the warmest and sunniest between November and March. Our team can help plan your South Africa multi centre trip around your interests and priorities.
Kruger National Park is the country’s most famous safari destination, offering the best chance to see the Big Five and a true wilderness experience. For a more exclusive, malaria-free option, private reserves near Johannesburg or along the Garden Route fit seamlessly into an itinerary. KwaZulu-Natal is another unique choice, with parks offering a rich variety of wildlife.
