SOUTH AFRICA EXPERIENCES
A world in one country, South Africa offers a wealth of diverse holiday experiences. From top safari reserves to cosmopolitan cities,
world class beaches and incredible activities, we’ll customise a
once-in-a-lifetime South African itinerary that reflects your interests,
passions and dreams.
Each region in South Africa is unique, offering a diverse range of landscapes, places of interest and unforgettable holiday experiences. Choose naturally beautiful Cape Town and its neighbouring wine valleys or head to the Kruger for the country’s finest Big Five safari. Let us design a custom trip including the perfect places for you.
From exhilarating wildlife encounters to out-of-this-world natural wonders, echoes of ancient empires, and rose-gold beaches, every bespoke Mahlatini journey is designed to immerse you in the extraordinary. Whether it’s a bucket list trip, marking a milestone, or a soul-stirring retreat, let this handpicked selection inspire your next escape.
South Africa is truly a year-round destination. Generally, the hot summer months are between November to March but the drier winter months (May to October) offer prime game viewing in safari regions. For close-up whale encounters, visit the Cape Whale Coast from June to November.

Holiday to
South Africa
We had the most amazing holiday made up of smooth and stress-free travel arrangements, unforgettable experiences and excellent service. The holiday was totally customised for us and we felt that throughout.
Absolutely fantastic from start to finish. It was a pleasure working with Jessica to plan a dream trip for my husband’s 70th birthday. Couldn’t have asked for anything better. Thank you.
Inspiringly beautiful scenery and wildlife, a rich cultural heritage and distinctive landmarks provide the perfect backdrop for your South African journey.
