Discover the very best that South Africa has to offer when you uncover the sublime scenery and cultural highlights of a place that is all at once magical, beautiful and mysteriously alluring.

From iconic Table Mountain overlooking the rocky Cape Peninsula, to Knysna's tranquil lagoon on the verdant Garden Route, South Africa is truly filled with natural beauty. Travel with Rail Discoveries to ensure you see the very best natural wonders the country has to offer, as well as visits to modern, major cities including Cape Town and Johannesburg.
