A South Africa tour can be the adventure of a lifetime. Whether you want to spend the days viewing the natural wildlife, relaxing on the links or in the spa, or touring the area's extensive wineries, South Africa has it all. Just be sure to pack a few travel games, because the trip from the United States is a long one, but worth the time.

South Africa Tour of the Wildlife
There are many places in South Africa where visitors can enjoy the spectacular wildlife and natural surroundings, but one of the best places to experience the untamed beauty of South Africa is in one of its smallest provinces, KwaZulu-Natal. You can leave your survival guideat home because superb accommodations abound throughout KwaZulu-Natal, from the heights of the mountains in the uKhahlamba Drakensberg Park, a World Heritage Site, through the tropical savannahs of Zululand where the "big five," elephant, rhino, lion, buffalo and leopard inhabit Hluhluwe Imfolozi Park and on to the brilliant coral reefs of the Indian Ocean that fringe the lakes and wetlands of the Greater St Lucia Wetland Park, also a World Heritage Site.

Golf and Spa Package
If you're more interested in a golf and spa package, The Selborne Hotel Spa & Golf Estate is the first golf estate in South Africa and its only footsteps from the Indian Ocean. Surrounded by the indigenous forest, the spa and golf resort is truly luxurious. The spa is managed by the professional Camelot Spa Group, which has facilities at other leading international hotels. Visitors can take their treatment in the double therapy suite or at the private beach club listening to the soothing sound of the ocean. Many consider the golf course one of the most spectacular 18 holes in southern Africa.

South Africa Wineries
The most popular way to discover the joys of South African wines is on a day trip from Cape Town, although true wine devotees can spend several days or weeks learning about wine packaging, the influx of wine jobs and the subtle differences between the various types throughout the regions. South Africa boasts 13 different wine routes to explore with 2,000 varieties of wine to sample.

Custom Vacation Packages
Those lucky enough to experience a South Africa tour can create custom vacation packages to visit just about anywhere they want to go. Vacation packages can be custom designed, or travelers can choose from vacation packages already coordinated. Accommodations will vary depending on where your South Africa tour takes you, but there are a variety of options including hotels, lodges, and luxury spas and resorts.
