South Africa - What To Expect

South Africa occupies the southern tip of Africa, bordered in the North by Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Mozambique. South Africa shows the way for the rest of Africa in terms of what it can be and certainly is a standout in terms of infrastructure. South Africa as a destination offers a lot of variety. Beaches, Cutlure, Triva heritage, Casino, Golfing, Wildlife / Birding, Diving, Vineyards, Coastal landscapes and amazing drives. On top of these all major South African cities are first class in terms of hotels and other infrastructure, culture and cuisine.

South Africa is also often termed as the adventure capital of the world with a variety of adventure options at disposal from wildlife, birding, scuba diving, hiking, trekking etc.

A visitor to South Africa has a wide choice of ways to see the country. The more adventurous or repeat visitor may wish to tailor-make his holiday, hiring a car and choosing accommodation along the chosen route. Others may wish to "stay put" in Cape Town, Durban or any of the other holiday centres, while others may wish to go on a fully escorted (guided) tour, which is guaranteed to give the best introduction to the country and its people. 

Most visitors to South Africa start their holiday in Johannesburg, although Cape Town with its international flight connections is a good alternative for Europeans. For Indians Johannesburg still makes good sense to travel to considering the connections.

What Visitors like

  • Visitors in the end seem to love Capetown and the Garden Route and come back for more. 

  • First timers to game reserves simply get awestruck by the size and amount of wildlife at Kruger and Hluhluwe. For experienced wildlifers, Kruger and Hluhluwe are one of the best gaming experiences in Africa.

  • Durban offers beaches and more visited by the local tourists

  • Zululand offers a view of the cutural side of South Africa besides the unspoilt beaches, scuba diving, birding and adventure opportunities. 

  • Drives around the South Africa are amazing and some of the drives are probably rated one of the "must have" experiences especially one covering the Garden route and other on Kruger - Johannesburg route covering Pilgrim's Rest. 

  • Sun City offers an escape like no other looking to enjoy man made wonders of the resort and area around it.
