Carbon Neutral Trip
Yes, it's a long flight—but there is (quite literally) no place on earth like South Africa. One moment you’re biking through fynbos hills, the next you’re tracking lions before toasting the sunset with a chilled Chenin. With wild coasts, big skies and even bigger wildlife, it’s a feast for the senses. Come for the views, stay for the vibes—and let us tailor every jaw-dropping detail.

Good to know

Time of year
South Africa is a year-round destination, but December is its peak tourism season as locals travel to Cape Town for the festive season. To fully experience what Cape Town has to offer during this busy time, we recommend spending at least five days in the city.

Weather
South Africa experiences winter in June to September and summer is December to March. For avid cyclists, April to May and October to November are the best months for biking.
