Truly one of the most amazing Destinations in the World, South Africa is a country that offers all things to all people, whether sunbathing along a white sand beach, playing golf on a world class course, trying out the latest vintage at a vineyard in the rural wine producing region, or partying the night away in the bars of Cape Town, or watching lions in a game reserve, the list of things to do is practically endless.
The millions of visitors who pour into South Africa every year are well catered for with excellent hotels, awe inspiring scenery, and plenty of entertainment to keep you occupied between sight seeing trips and safaris.
South Africa offers an endless list of activities to enthral any traveller, from the world's highest bungee jump to quiet walks through peaceful gardens. It's a great place to go on safaris to see the big five in one of South Africa's many national parks and game reserves such as Kruger or Shamwari. South Africa also has some of the best, least-crowded surfing beaches in the world. Most surfers will have heard of Jeffrey's Bay, but the beaches along the east and south coasts of South Africa have tubes in the waves right the way along.
You can get great deals on flights and package holidays to South Africa throughout the year, and with such a well developed tourism industry and infrastructure, it is a simple country to explore. Many people chose to visit several places in the country on a single trip, spending a few days in the luxury resorts at Sun City, before heading into one of the game reserves for Safari, before heading for Cape Town, and the breathtaking scenery of the garden route, before finishing their holiday relaxing in the hot sun on the beaches around Durban.
