Information
Top Reasons to Travel to South Africa!
Weather
South Africa has some of the best weather in the world – rarely too hot, rarely too cold, and the sun shines most of the year. Guests will be able to get out and about as and when they feel like it. By comparison to countries in the northern hemisphere, our winters are relatively mild, and our summers are up there with the best of them.
Scenery
South Africa really is many worlds in one. Expect stunning coastlines, dramatic mountainscapes, huge areas of untamed bushveld, starkly beautiful semi-deserts, lakes, waterfalls, spectacular canyons, forests, wide plains and beautiful cities.
Affordability
Other currencies do well here, and people can travel for less. It’s easy to find a cosy guesthouse that offers that extra bit of holiday pampering plus great value for money. What’s more, eating out is affordable, so you can enjoy a great meal and local vintage without the bitter aftertaste of an unreasonable bill. In addition to being value for money, a safari can often be all inclusive, so you know exactly what you're in for, upfront.
Beaches
Cape Town has arguably the best urban beaches in the world, from fashionable Camps Bay close to the city centre to Boulders Beach with its comical colony of endangered African penguins waddling about. All the way along the Garden Route and KwaZulu-Natal's Indian Ocean coastline you'll find long stretches of pristine golden sand lapped by waves that become warmer and warmer the further north you go - there are even tropical coral reefs and excellent diving and snorkelling at Rocktail Bay.
Food & Wine
Our culture of wine is renowned and there are several wine routes scattered throughout the country, wine festivals, wine estates, cellar tours and wine tasting to tempt the connoisseur. We hold claim to the longest Wine Route in the World, Route 66. Our cuisine is a unique fusion of many different external cultural influences including Dutch, French, Indian and Malaysian flavours and techniques. You will also find craft beer in microbreweries, craft gin, great coffee, exciting markets and inspiring restaurants that meld local flavours with international trends, all dished up with typical South African hospitality.
Wildlife
The Kruger National Park is the most famous Big 5 destination in the country, but South Africa has a selection of superb game parks and private reserves. Exclusive South African safari in the world-renowned Sabi Sands; family time in Madikwe Private Reserve; or combine game viewing at Addo Elephant National Park with a beach vacation in the Eastern Cape. South Africa's varied terrain allows you to spot desert-adapted dwellers like pangolin or anteaters in Tswalu in the heart of the Kalahari, then search some of the most densely populated leopard country in the southern Kruger before seeking out elusive bat-eared fox and porcupines in the malaria-free Eastern Cape.
Diverse Culture
South Africa is a melting pot of many fascinating cultures forming one nation, so you'll hear several distinct accents in our English, notice many different faces and taste a rich fusion of flavours in our cuisine. From English speaking South Africans to Afrikaans, Tswana, Zulu and Xhosa, the people are as diverse as the languages, and yet they all live in the same country.
Activities
It’s hard to beat South Africa when it comes to the Great Outdoors and adventure activities. For a taste of the great outdoors, hike to the top of Table Mountain; horse ride in the Drakensberg; watch whales in Hermanus; paraglide over Cape Town’s beaches; take a walking safari in the Kruger; cycle through the Cape Winelands; explore the forest canopy in the Garden Route; go shark cage diving in Gaansbaai or Bungee jumping off the world's highest commercial bungee bridge. You'll never have a dull moment!
Excellent Infrastructure
South Africa welcomes a steady flow of global airlines at international airports around the country. A network of excellent major transport networks, good tourist facilities, safe drinking water nearly everywhere, a superb banking system with numerous ATMs countrywide, good accommodation for all pockets, and mouth-watering eating options. Making this an excellent choice for self-drive holidays.
