Rand boosts holidays to South Africa

Walking specialist operator, Ramblers Worldwide Holidays reports a healthy growth in tours to South Africa due to the exchange rate of the Rand against the Pound, which is currently providing even greater value for money.

The company is offering a wide choice of holidays to South Africa including:

EXPLORING CAPE PROVINCE – a 19 day, half-board holiday which takes in the country’s famous winelands, The Karoo, the coast of Knysna and Plettenberg Bay, Cape Town and the Cape of Good Hope – all offering some of the most spectacular scenery in the country.

This trip begins with a flight to Cape Town and a three night stay in Stellenbosch – one of the oldest and most beautiful of the wineland towns. From here one visits Franschoek with walks around the surrounding hills and an opportunity to visit local vineyards.

Travelling up-country one visits The Karoo staying at Matjiesfontein in the beautifully restored 19th Century Lord Milner hotel. Next, one travels between the Great and Little Karoo to Prince Albert, first settled by the Dutch in 1762, which has many fine examples of Dutch architecture.

From here, one walks in the majestic Swartberg mountains then travels south to Knysna to walk the national parks. One then follows The Garden Route to Cape Town to experience its wonderful historical and cultural ambience with highlights like a visit to Table Mountain, The Cape of Good Hope and Kirstenbosch (South Africa’s Kew Gardens).

Prices from £1,868 per person including return flights, transfers, 19 days half-board accommodation and the services of a tour leader.
