Described as “a world in one country” South Africa offers a great diversity of vacation options.

“Ashworth Africa organized our best family holiday ever.”

Apart from the variety of unique destinations, sights, culture and wildlife, South Africa has a mosaic of cosmopolitan towns and cities offering world-class restaurants and hotels.

South Africa can be visited all year round as it enjoys mild winters. For game viewing, autumn to spring (April – October) is the best time as the main safari areas can be hot and wet in summer. When visiting Cape Town (the Western Cape) and the Garden Route (the Eastern Cape), the warmest, driest weather can be enjoyed during summer and early autumn (October – March) although sunny, mild days can be experienced in South Africa throughout the year.
