All of our staff at Llama Travel have travelled extensively: before you book your holiday, wherever you want to go, you can speak to someone who has been there. It’s one of the 7 reasons that our guests trust Llama Travel for their holidays.

Among our team of travel experts is Otto, who recently returned from a safari trip to South Africa. In this blog, we caught up with Otto to tap into his expertise and find out why South Africa is such a captivating destination.

Perched on the edge of the South Atlantic Ocean with the impressive Table Mountain as its backdrop, Cape Town, known as the Mother City of South Africa, is considered one of the most beautiful cities to many. Its rich history, shaped by Portuguese, Dutch and British influences, has created a unique cultural mix. After the end of apartheid, South Africa became known as the Rainbow Nation, and it remains one of the most diverse places you can visit. Travellers are often struck by the depth of local culture and frequently leave feeling genuinely touched by the warmth and friendliness of the people they meet.

South Africa offers a range of experiences across different regions. Cape Town’s stunning setting is just the beginning. The Cape Winelands are home to excellent wine and mountain views, the Garden Route is known for its lush scenery, and Kruger National Park offers renowned wildlife experiences. You can even end your trip with a visit to Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe (it really couldn’t get much better!).
