South Africa is an extraordinary country to visit on any kind of holiday, but it might just be the world’s best place for a road trip. Why? The incredible coastal roads, the stunning variety of landscapes, the unparalleled wide-open spaces, the fantastic value for money – and that’s just for starters.

This is, of course, a country of living history, a place of jaw-dropping beauty and visible diversity. And if you want to explore what Africa has to offer – the wilderness, the adventure, the challenge of this incredible continent – but you still want the infrastructure, then South Africa is the place to go.
