South African Tourism has chosen 12 local guides to help showcase the best of the country’s wildlife, culture, cities, natural beauty, outdoor activities and food and drink as part of its new “Meet Your South Africa” campaign, Stephen Glennon reports.

The guides, who are based all around the country, have been hand-picked by the tourism board with the aim of connecting UK travellers with the people of South Africa.

They include a game ranger, an outdoor adventure guide, a marine biologist, a chef, a wine expert and local city guides.


Holidaymakers can book individual tours with a guide, as well as tailor-made multi-day packages.

Tolene Van der Merwe, South African Tourism hub head UK and Ireland, said: “One of the things people always remember after visiting our country are our friendly and welcoming South Africans.
