South Africa is a favourite destination for all sorts of travellers. However, adding the Victoria Falls onto your South African itinerary is easier than you think and will complete your almost perfect trip.
What's all the fuss about South Africa?
Starting with the obvious, South Africa is known for some of the best game reserves and most prestigious luxury safari lodges where visitors can easily tick off the Big 5 during a stay. Beyond the lions and rhinos, Cape Town was named the "best city in the world" for the fourth consecutive year by the Telegraph.
The winelands, dynamic food scene, gorgeous beaches, classy rail travel, quaint towns and rich history add to the country's allure.
