South Africa holidays from the UK
Spectacular scenery, world-class food and wine and great value for money. If you are travelling from the UK, we plan the whole trip, including the right flights, a hotel that suits your style and the transfers and tours that make the holiday easy.
Getting to South Africa from the UK
Nonstop flights from London to Cape Town and Johannesburg are commonly available. We compare options for your dates and look at total travel time, not just price.
Time difference
South Africa is about 1 to 2 hours ahead of London, depending on daylight saving, so most travellers adjust quickly.
How long to stay
For travellers from the UK, a South Africa holiday is usually 7 to 10 nights. We recommend 6–9 nights on the ground.
Best time to go
For Cape Town, November to March is summer and the warmest, driest time. For safari in Kruger, May to September is the dry season, when wildlife is easiest to see. Spring and autumn (September to October and March to April) are often the best compromise.
Entry requirements
Visa rules vary by passport. Visitors from many countries, including the USA, Canada and the UK, can usually enter visa-free for short stays, while others need a visa before travel. A yellow fever certificate may be required if you arrive from or pass through certain countries. Please check the current rules for your passport.
