    2025 is the perfect time to connect with South Africa’s vibrant people and unique experiences


    As a destination, South Africa is blessed with breathtaking scenic beauty, an incredible diversity of wildlife, a melting pot of cultures, and a plethora of unique and memorable travel experiences that cannot be found anywhere else. All this combined with some of the warmest and friendliest people you will ever meet, inspires visitors from all walks of life to visit South Africa.

    Whether you’re a thrill-seeking nature lover, curious history buff or even a large family that needs to cater to different tastes and personalities, South Africa has something for everyone to enjoy. With nine unique provinces abounding in exciting and memorable safari, adventure, and cultural experiences, the opportunities for exploration are practically endless and worth visiting now.

    Wildlife and Safari


    Your journey into the soul of South Africa starts when you first hear the roar of a lion echoing in the distance or feel the ground tremble as a herd of giant elephant's cross right in front of you. It’s those early hushed silences at sunrise, when you see the wild come to life at a busy waterhole or spot the bright eyes of a leopard in a tree at sunset. Explore with any kind of safari through bushveld, deserts, forests, wetlands, rivers and even beaches. And, with perfect days ending in the comfort of luxury lodges or campfire stories under a million stars, you can’t help feeling like you never want to leave.


    Active Adventure


    Free the adventurous spirit within as you stare straight into the eyes of a Great White shark, with only a cage between you. Feel every sense explode into life as you bungee from the spectacular Bloukrans Bridge or hold on tight for a white-knuckled ride down our famous rivers. Get your hiking boots for a week and explore the Otter Trail or take on Table Mountain for a view of Cape Town that will stay with you forever. From skydiving, quad biking, windsurfing, treetop zip lining, international cycle races and sporting events to relaxing strolls along perfect promenades and even a quiet game of golf – there’s no shortage of adventures here, in some of the world’s most beautiful settings.


    Cultural Roots


    Explore the place where the human story began at the Cradle of Humankind or see ancient Africa preserved on rock faces, in caves and historical sites; walk the battlefields where Shaka Zulu once fought; or follow the inspiring footsteps of Nelson Mandela all the way to his humbling prison cell on Robben Island. Then, celebrate our rich, modern culture at buzzing urban markets, art galleries, jazz bars and townships. Our story is told in many historical sites and museums around the country, and expressed today in rich cultural traditions, food, music and a vibrant urban culture. To be in South Africa is to be welcomed “home” not as a traveler but as a friend.


    Breathtaking Scenery


    Travel in any direction in South Africa and see a country shift and change before your eyes. Let us introduce you to our places of wonder, from the mind-blowing peaks of the Drakensberg Mountains to our flat-topped world wonder, Table Mountain. Stand at the top of the amazing Blyde River Canyon or see the place where millions of daisies burst into life in the desert. Stroll along beaches that never end, hike up ancient hills and through forests older than time, or wake up to bushveld views that make time stop. No matter where you are in scenic South Africa, every day ends with a perfect horizon to look out on.


    Sun-soaked Coasts and Beaches


    South Africa’s 2700km coast is where Blue Flag beaches lure you into staying all day, the freshest flavors of the sea are piled onto your plate at beachside restaurants and the folklore of fishing communities color everyday conversations. It’s a world of adventure and natural wonder traced by famous hiking trails through forests, wetlands, secret beaches and ancient eco-systems that go on with life the way they always have. Come experience beach days that feel like they should never end and the finest beachside hotels to spoil you when they eventually do. South Africa’s sun-soaked coast lies ready, all-year round, to share its secrets, adventures and lazy days with you.


    Vibrant City Lifestyle


    Every South African city has its own unique story to tell, and the best people to tell those stories are the genuinely fun and friendly locals themselves. Join them for a cocktail on a Johannesburg rooftop bar or meet them at art galleries and spaces brimming with culture and expression. In Cape Town, don’t miss the chance to take in some jazz and then sneak away for a picnic, or unforgettable open-air concert at the Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden, the most peaceful setting imaginable, hidden against the slopes of Table Mountain. Then go where tropical sun-soaked days end with beachside cocktails in Durban, or experience the warmth of Port Elizabeth, known as the “Friendly City” to us.

  • The Best Resorts for Your Honeymoon In Los Cabos

    1/27/2025 2:34:49 PM Link 0 comments | Add comment

    By Los Cabos on Mar. 04, 2020

    Marquis Los Cabos

    Honeymooning in Los Cabos is a popular choice for couples from all over the world. With sumptuous resorts, year-long sunshine, tasty Mexican food and a wide range of activities to engage with, who wouldn’t dream of spending their first few weeks of marriage in this Baja Sur California paradise?

    However, as Los Cabos is home to over 70 resorts, it can be overwhelming choosing where to stay. To make sure you pick the right resort for you and your partner, here are some of the best resorts for honeymooning and their attributes to narrow down your decision.

    Marquis Los Cabos

    This resort has three major drawcards for honeymooners. The first is that it is an all-inclusive resort, meaning after the initial payment, everything is taken care of from pool snacks to sit down dinners and all the margaritas you could dream of. The second is that it is an adults-only resort so you can say goodbye to the screaming children splashing you by the pool.

    Honeymooning should be about relaxing, and these two things combined will ensure you stay stress-free. The third drawcard is that it is only a 15-minute drive to the wonderful, historic town of San Jose del Cabo where you can find art galleries, great restaurants and bars and cultural events such as the Art Walk.

    Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal

    In 2019 Waldorf Astoria landed in Los Cabos, the luxury brand’s first property in all of Mexico. The resort has been and is continuing to go through some refurbishments making it quite the exclusive experience for guests who get to experience the property first. New and improved interior design is just a start. Down by the water you and your partner will find the Champagne Terrace where you can indulge in some tastings and pairings before dining at El Farallon, one of Cabo’s most talked-about restaurants.

    The Cape, a Thompson Hotel

    If you and your significant other are all about sharing a drink over a beautiful view at sunset, The Cape is your spot. Known to have one of the best views in all of Los Cabos, The Cape’s rooftop bar is the perfect spot to end your adventure-filled days. With a hand-crafted cocktail in hand and the view of pink and orange in the sky, these will be the moments you’ll remember most about your honeymoon.



    ME Cabo

    For couples who have travelled to Los Cabos to celebrate their new marriage by dancing until the sun comes up, ME Cabo will be an apt place to stay. Its upbeat Mediterranean inspired beach club, Blue Marlin Ibiza, will get you pumped up for the night and then you’re only a 10-minute walk to downtown Cabo San Lucas where there is a wide range of bars, restaurants and nightclubs. Another plus? The resort is situated on one of few swimmable beaches in Los Cabos where you’ll get a great view of the famous Arch.



    Chileno Bay Resort & Residences, Auberge Resorts Collection

    There is no shame in wanting to spend your entire honeymoon getting pampered and that is exactly what you can do at Chileno Bay’s spa. Known for being one of the best and most original spas in Los Cabos, this is where you can dive deep into plunge pools, reduce wedding stress in the Himalayan salt room, get massages and facials whenever you’d like, and learn about cultural Baja healing traditions. When your pampering session is done, Chileno Bay offers fine dining at Comal and a pool leading to a swimmable beach.



    Los Cabos recognized by The New York Times as one of the “52 Places to Go in 2025"


  • These Are the Best Honeymoon Destinations for 2025

    1/13/2025 5:52:00 PM Link 0 comments | Add comment


    Deciding where to honeymoon is one of the first big decisions married couples make together — and the options can sometimes feel endless. Thankfully, Virtuoso, a luxury travel agency network, recently released its annual Luxe Report, which surveys 2,200 travel advisors across the globe to identify emerging travel trends. In its analysis this year, it named the top five honeymoon destinations for 2025: Italy, Greece, Bali, French Polynesia, and the Maldives.

    The 2025 Virtuoso Luxe Report once again taps into the collective knowledge of Virtuoso's industry-leading travel agency members and their teams of professional travel advisors across 58 countries to determine what's now and next for in-the-know travelers," the company said in a press release obtained by Travel + Leisure. "Findings show a yearning for transformative experiences, fueled by an adventurous spirit and a desire to forge deeper connections with family, friends, and new surroundings."

    While travelers plan and embark on their honeymoons, they will likely be influenced by some of the top travel trends identified by Virtuoso. These include the "Born to be Mild" trend, which blurs the lines between adventure and wellness. (Think outdoor-focused activities followed by relaxing in luxury hotels.)

    Then there's the "You Tell Me Travel" trend, where people book trips to off-the-beaten destinations after being inspired by documentaries, books, films, and even TikTok. Finally, honeymooners may take part in the "Palate and Place" trend — globetrotters have always been enticed by a destination's cuisine, but advisors are seeing more interest in authentically experiencing local culture through visiting one-of-a-kind eateries and markets.

    There are, however, other strong contenders for first-time getaways for married couples that the company didn't necessarily classify as "honeymoon destinations," but are charming nonetheless. According to Virtuoso, Portugal is the No. 1 pick for its "Destinations on the Rise" list, after coming in fourth place last year. "Well-known for providing great value, its appeal has broadened thanks to its mild climate, flavorful cuisine, and stunning scenery, particularly in the Azores," Virtuoso noted.

    And, of course, there's always Paris, which held its first-place spot as the top city travelers want to visit overall — because what's not to love about the City of Love?

    But, regardless if they are planning a romantic getaway or not, Virtuoso predicted travelers will continue to "prioritize exploration and personalized experiences" throughout 2025, only now, they are also focused on "maximizing value without compromising quality." The findings also noted that half of Virtuoso advisors surveyed anticipate a slight rise in travel demand for 2025, with 20 percent reporting they expect a "significant increase." In other words, travelers are still looking for extraordinary experiences — but they are also interested in deals.
