Once-in-a-lifetime Safari Experiences
South Africa is one of the top game-viewing hotspots in the world, home to incredible wildlife parks and game reserves such as the Kruger National Park, offering viewings of the Big Five, plus the Addo Elephant National Park and Pilanesberg National Park. Wherever you choose to enjoy a wildlife adventure, you will for sure leave with special travel memories.
Bustling City Break Opportunities
South Africa’s capital Cape Town boasts some of the world’s top restaurants, plus art galleries and the famed Table Mountain, not to mention colourful neighbourhoods. The country’s other major city Johannesburg is the largest, with an impressive skyline and bustling towns offering thriving shopping experiences, museums galore, and impressive street art.
Lazy Days on the Beach
South Africa’s off-the-beaten path appeal includes its beaches, many of which are remote and look as though they are untouched like something on a postcard, and others which are buzzing with energy, like Cape Town’s beaches. The golden coastlines go on for miles with scenic mountainous backdrops.
Outdoor Adventures Galore
Thrill seekers rejoice – there are endless opportunities to get active and get your adrenaline pumping in South Africa! Those brave enough can experience cage diving with sharks or bungee jumping from a major height, and other enticing adventures include hiking, scuba diving, snorkelling, and whale watching excursions, to name a few.
Interesting History Lessons
Step back in time in South Africa and cast your eyes on some of the world’s oldest mountains, as well as ancient architectural treasures such as Cape Town’s Castle of Good Hope, the UNESCO declared Cradle of Humankind, the Robben Island prison - former place of imprisonment for Nelson Mandela, and the battlefields of KwaZulu-Natal.
Blissful Weather Forecasts
South Africa has beautiful weather, offering plenty of sunny days throughout the year. The country has a dry season between May and October which is when travel makers make their way to the safari parks, as there are much better wildlife viewing conditions. During this season it is mild, warm and pleasant, so you won’t get too hot or cold. Between November and April it’s hotter and there is rain, but only in short bursts, and this makes for gorgeous green landscapes and prime bird viewing opportunities.
