Why holiday in South Africa?
There are any number of reasons. South Africa has one of the best climates in the world. We live in a diverse country with stunning landscapes, interesting cultures, friendly people, world class cities, awesome beaches, wild life and nature reserves, wilderness areas, vast mountain ranges, good things to eat and wonderful wines to be found in the famous Cape Winelands.
Because of the South African climate you can holiday here any time of the year. Summer is for cooling off at one of the many beautiful beaches, while the Winter weather is cooler and drier and makes for excellent game viewing and other outdoor pursuits. However, a lot of South African places make for good holiday venues almost all year round.
The natural beauty you will encounter in South Africa is breathtaking, from the proud sentinel, Table Mountain, that watches over Cape Town, along the endless arid stretches of the Karroo, past the waving fields of wheat in the Overberg, to the wide sandy beaches stretching for thousands of kilometers along South Africa’s pristine coastline, through the tropical beauty of Kwa Zulu Natal and the sweeping arch of the mighty Drakensburg and up to the bushveld in the northern parts. There is so much to take in and enjoy just driving through the South African countryside.
South African cities each have their own special character with Cape Town being cosmopolitan, classy and the most favorite with tourists. Johannesbutg has a ritzy, racy and exciting vibe. Durban is a tropical paradise with a laid back feel. Port Elizabeth is known as the Friendly City. Bloemfontein has a country charm and hospitable people, and there are many other smaller cities and towns in South Africa that are ideal for holidays.
Some of the many holiday options in South Africa include beaches and palm trees, mountains and snow, bushveld and wildlife safaris, history and cultures, sports of all kinds, adventure and thrill seeking, wine tours and fine dining experiences.
Whatever it is you want to experience, you will find it in South Africa.
