We deliver South Africa.

What you see on Instagram? That’s not South Africa.

Japan isn’t just sushi and temples. France isn’t just the Eiffel Tower and escargot. New York? Not just skyscrapers and hot dogs. Every country has a deeper story. South Africa does too. And that’s exactly where we take you.

Bergvlug shows you the real South Africa.

The places we grew up. The meals our families still make. The music that moves us. No polished magazine version. No tourist fluff. No “see it, snap it, leave” safari. Just a raw, warm, unforgettable connection. Fireside stories. Farm kitchen meals. Towns with no traffic lights. Music with no microphones.

What you see here are just guidelines; ideas to spark your imagination.
The real adventure? That’s yours.

Questions You Might Have (Answered!)

When is the best time to travel to South Africa?
The beauty of South Africa is that every season has its own magic.
Summer (Nov–Feb): Long, warm days; perfect for beaches, vineyards, and festive energy.
Autumn (Mar–May): Cooler, golden landscapes; ideal for hiking, wine, and quieter travel.
Winter (Jun–Aug): Crisp mornings, cozy firesides, whale watching on the coast, and some of the best safari sightings.
Spring (Sep–Oct):
Wildflowers in bloom, baby animals in the bush, and fresh, green scenery everywhere.

Is South Africa safe to travel in?
This is one of the questions we hear most often. The truth is: YES, with the right guidance. South Africa is our home; we know where to go, when to go, and how to keep your experience seamless and safe. We’ll be with you every step of the way, so you can focus on enjoying yourself.
Will we get to try a real South African braai?
Of course! A braai isn’t just about food—it’s about firelight, laughter, and community. Expect sizzling boerewors, roosterkoek fresh off the coals, and maybe even a local song or two around the flames.
Do you handle all the planning?
We handle it all. Places to stay and getting you there with trusted guides by your side and then building in meals and moments depending on the kind of adventure you’re after.
Can I choose what we do?
Absolutely! Think of our tours as a menu. You can mix, match, add, or change anything—whether it’s a braai with locals, hiking in the Drakensberg, or wine tasting in Franschhoek. The final trip is yours.
Is Bergvlug for groups or individuals?
Both! We host couples, families, and small groups of friends. Each trip is tailored to the size and dynamic of your travel party—always intimate, never impersonal.
