South Africa Tours and Adventures
South Africa is a country rich in culture, history, and spectacular scenery. Iconic mountains line the South Atlantic coast, connecting Cape Town to the Cape of Good Hope and Africa’s only penguin population. Rolling vineyards of Stellenbosch dot the countryside, and the lush vegetation along the Garden Route blossoms with beauty. Kruger National Park’s open savannahs are home to the “Big Five'' - lions, tigers, buffalo, elephant, and hippopotamus. Road Scholar’s popular South Africa tours are the most fulfilling way to discover it all.
