Nightjar Guide to South Africa

Grumpy little bateared fox cubs, highly displeased to be caught in a rainstorm. A complete stranger offering you dinner in exchange for conversation in Namaqualand. The sensational power of the beaming starlight from the Drakensberg escarpment. Local theatre in the beating heart of the Mother City. Sun, surf, storms, snow. Bobotie, bredie, Biltong. South Africa offers an incredible smorgasbord of treasures and experiences for travellers to discover, and we hope we can bring them to you.

The Nightjar Travel team has spent more than two decades exploring South Africa - cycling, walking, driving, eating, etc-ing our way through every point of interest we could find. Now, with beautiful photos, detailed descriptions, and all the information you would need to do it yourself, we’ve pinned all of this knowledge on the map of South Africa, creating one of the best guides to the country. We’ve also spent years thoroughly investigating the finest accommodation experiences available throughout the country, and have included those that meet our standards in the app.

Once downloaded, the maps and data are totally offline, allowing you to take the guide out into the field with you. Use our list of carefully selected venues to see the best accommodation experience near you or your intended destination, and access online bookings from the app.

Use the guide as much as you need, and feel free to reach out to ask to rack our brains or get specific help.
