South Africa
Adventures

From the iconic savannahs of the Kruger to the fynbos-cloaked slopes of the Cape, our South Africa adventures are a journey through biodiversity, history, and hope.

Track the Big Five on private reserves, engage with pioneering rewilding and community conservation projects, and experience the country’s rich cultural and ecological heritage through purpose-driven travel.

VISIT SOUTH AFRICA​

From the golden beaches of Durban to the vineyards of Stellenbosch and Kruger National Park’s sweeping plains, South Africa offers a holistic fusion of nature, history and adventure. 

Spend a week exploring the vibrant capital and venture to the top of Table Mountain for panoramic views, or head to the whale-watching capital of the world, Hermanus, for your chance to sight these beautiful mammals. 

A variety of exceptionally biodiverse private reserves and national parks offers brilliant game viewing and opportunities for off-beat discovery, where travellers can stay in everything from the most authentically rustic fly-camp to the highest echelon of exclusive luxury. 

Check camera traps, monitor wildlife, trim rhino horns and enjoy fireside chats with expert researchers and wildlife scientists under South Africa’s expansive star-studded sky.

Where travel and conservation meet

As you travel through this unique landscape, you’ll have the chance to encounter a variety of native species, plants and animals that are naturally found only in this region. These species are key to the health of the local ecosystem, supporting biodiversity and helping maintain nature’s balance.

Many of them face threats from habitat loss, climate change, and invasive species, making conservation efforts more important than ever. By learning about and appreciating these native species, you’re also helping to protect them for future generations.

OUR FOCUS - THE IBERÁ NATIONAL PARK:

This extraordinary wetland, the largest in Argentina, is home to 30% of the biodiversity in the country including endangered species such as the pampas and marsh deer, the maned wolf and grassland birds like the strange-tailed tyrant.

In 2005, what was to become one of the largest rewilding programs in the Americas was started, with the goal of restoring keystone species that had been extirpated from Iberá through hunting and habitat loss and were extinct in the region, the Province or, in some cases, the country. 

As the rewilding program developed, the cultural identity of Iberá began to recover alongside the ecosystems and natural processes, impacting a total population of 100,000 people who surround the park.

Today, Iberá stands as one of the world’s most successful ongoing conservation missions.
