One of the world's first wildlife conservation areas, Kruger National Park is a major highlight of South Africa safaris. Many South Africa safaris also feature guided tours of Cape Town, the oldest European settlement in the country. Sightseeing stops can include Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens, the Castle of Good Hope, the Houses of Parliament and the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront. Ride a cable car to the top of Table Mountain for outstanding views of the city and Table Bay.

Cool Atlantic waters and warm Indian Ocean waters converge at Cape Point Peninsula, resulting in diverse marine biology. Some tour operators feature a cruise to Seal Island for an up-close view of fur seals. South Africa safaris can also venture into the wine-producing regions just outside Cape Town, where guests enjoy tastings at historic estates.

Many South Africa safaris also visit Johannesburg, South Africa's largest city and the center of economic activity. The quaint town of Pilgrim's Rest, where gold was discovered in 1873, and the Wild Coast, where travelers can watch dolphins surfing in the waves or learn about Xhosa culture, round out the list of South Africa highlights.

South Africa safaris are available year-round. Game-viewing in the north is best enjoyed during the dry winter from May through August, when temperatures are mild, vegetation is sparse and animals gather at water sources. Peak travel in the country's southern regions is during the summer months from October to March. Whales can be seen along Cape Town's coastline from July through November.
