There is no greater wildlife experience in the world than Tanzania — a nation that devotes 33% of its land to conservation and boasts the highest concentration of animals anywhere on the planet. From the vast Serengeti to the lust rain forests of the Mahale Mountains, Tanzania is home to wildebeest, chimpanzee, zebra, hippopotamus, giraffe, hyena and cheetah — just to name of few! Imagine seeing a hundred Thomson gazelle springing across a dirt road or majestic elephants leading their babies to a watering hole. Tanzania is the only place on earth where the “big five” — buffalo, elephant, leopard, the black-maned lion and the endangered, rare black rhinoceros — all live in one place.

Just outside Cape Town lie the Winelands, the heart of South Africa’s wine-making industry – the seventh largest in the world. Beloved by those who enjoy fine wine, gourmet cuisine and beautiful countryside, this region features 15 routes that pass through rolling landscape and more than 600 wineries. As you travel the Winelands, you’ll discover 300-year-old vineyards, estates and small towns which have as much charm as they do history. Along the way, you’ll enjoy stunning vistas and an ideal climate, and sample some of the most highly acclaimed food and wines in the world. The 200-mile Garden Route extends from Cape Town through a scenic stretch of the southern coast, nestled between mountains and the Indian Ocean. Going off-road in this area is equally stunning thanks to 10 nature reserves where hiking trails lead through pristine forests to the sight of coral reefs, dolphins, seals, and whales. Many travelers rent a car in Cape Town and make a day of stopping the spectacular vineyards and charming seaside towns along the way; however, these regions are so rich in scenery and experiences that they can easily be a vacation in themselves.
