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.

Land of Striking Contrasts

South Africa is like many worlds in one, offering stunning landscapes, unique biodiversity and rich culture. Nowhere else can you guarantee a close encounter with the Big 5 in their natural habitat, challenge yourself hiking breathtaking mountains and embrace cosmopolitan life in beautiful cities like Cape Town.

Local Connections

The spirit of Ubuntu (“I am because you are” or “humanity towards others”). You’ll leave South Africa not only enriched but also having made many new friends. The warmth and welcoming nature of the locals are felt everywhere you go.

Unique Gastronomy

You’ll be stunned by the culinary scene, which reflects a unique blend of diverse influences. Indulge in delicious meals at award-winning establishments, sip on fine wines and enjoy exceptional hospitality.

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.

Why choose a Small Group trip?

An Effortless Journey

Our expert Experience Designers are perfectionists, using first-hand knowledge of routes, restaurants and hotels to create an unforgettable experience. This means all the planning is taken care of for you. All you need to do is enjoy.

Active Exploration

From emerging destinations to iconic sights, B&R trips show you the world in a new way on our expertly developed cycling, walking and hiking routes. Travelling through historic villages and romantic vineyards and up to striking viewpoints, our routes offer a variety of challenges for every activity level.

Friends for Life

Your fellow travellers are as passionate and curious about the world as you are, which means the conversations and laughs will be as free flowing as your drink of choice. Don't be surprised if your group starts planning a reunion before the trip is done.

Room for Surprises

We love a plan, but we adore a spontaneous moment even more. Whether it’s an impromptu al fresco meal or a moon-lit musical performance, our advice is to expect the unexpected.

Testimonials

“South Africa is a country of magic, colours, beautiful energy but, most of all, ubuntu.”

South Africa is a country of magic, colours, beautiful energy but, most of all, ubuntu. What a word! How much it has to teach societies in the world. Butterfield & Robinson made sure we captured the essence of the country, beyond the fine dinning and 5-star accommodations. The two guides were amazing, and we really felt like we left two friends in SA. We met amazing people, saw amazing animals and every place we stayed made us feel at home.

— Montserrat G; Puerto Rico, US

“There is something about Africa that continues to linger with all of us.”

We truly saw it all—elephants, lions, leopards, rhino, and even wild dogs. The memories are absolutely indelible and so very special to us. There is something about Africa that continues to linger with all of us—the pace, the stunning vistas, the wonderful people, the vast open spaces, and that perfect rhythm of life that's simply unmatched.
