Well, it is finally spring, and in true form, South Africa is truly showing off its beauty.! They say it is a time for new beginnings and to sow seeds that will reap great harvests in the future, so why not spread your wings and get out to see new places and experience brand new adventures too?

September in South Africa is not only Spring, but a month of pride and discovery, because it is simultaneously our Heritage Month and and our Tourism Month, so it is a time that we celebrate everything that makes our country unique and extraordinary.

This means that local travel during this season is about more than just having a getaway; it’s about reconnecting with our roots, experiencing the beauty of our diverse cultures, and immersing ourselves in the breathtaking landscapes that stretch from coastline to coastline and from mountains to seas.

SA in spring is sensational!

From the glorious Cape Winelands and miles of beautiful beaches and sunny seaside resorts that stretch right along South Africa’s coastline from East to West, to family fun adventure resorts, and extreme sports. From hiking the glorious mountainous regions of the Drakensberg, the Cape, and peering out of God’s window in the North, to taking a self-drive family excursion along Route 62 or the world-renowned ‘Garden Route,’ there is no end to the tourism opportunities we have right on our doorstep.

From our serene private getaways to our bustling adventure tourist hot spots, and from our many vibrant cityscapes to the warmth and hospitality of our small towns and cultural villages, travelling locally reminds us why South Africa is one of the world’s most unique destinations.

September gives us the perfect opportunity to celebrate our heritage while supporting local communities and rediscovering the magic that is ours for the taking - and nothing epitomises that more than our wonderful game reserves and our exquisite wildlife. So, these are just three of the wonderful bush-break packages available that you can enjoy right now …

Kedar Heritage Lodge

This package for 2 Nights' accommodation at the 4* Kedar Heritage Lodge in a super deluxe room is a magnificent bush-break treat. This retreat, set in the heart of South Africa's bushveld, built on land once owned by President Paul Kruger, seamlessly weaves historical charm with rustic elegance.

Stone buildings, antique furnishings, and museum-quality artifacts create an atmosphere rich with heritage, inviting guests to step back in time while enjoying modern comforts. From quiet nature walks and spa treatments to exploring the on-site museum, every moment at the lodge connects you to the soul of Africa. Here, the past comes alive, and serenity takes center stage.

Skukuza Family Lodge - Kruger National Park

This fabulous, highly affordable package accommodates you for 2 glorious nights in 4-star comfort in the heart of Africa’s most renowned Wildlife reserve - The Kruger National Park. With easy access to Nature Trails and the Sabie River, and wildlife simply teeming on the plains and even right on your doorstep, Skukuza Safari Lodge offers the perfect mix of comfort, convenience, and the ‘Kruger magic.’

The lodge is your gateway to the ultimate bush escape, where you can immerse yourself in the untamed beauty of the African wilderness while enjoying luxurious comforts and unrivalled biodiversity.

Here, where comfort and the call of the wild meet, the cry of the fish eagle greets you in the morning, and the rustle of the Savannah lulls you to sleep in the afternoon. Home to an abundance of wildlife and over 300 bird species, this pristine reserve invites you to encounter Africa's iconic Big 5 in their natural habitat. Between thrilling game drives, you can sink into a poolside lounger under the warm African sun, until you set out on your next adventure - from safaris to starlit boma dinners.
