South Africa is rapidly becoming a very popular destination. For good reasons too. Where else can you see clear blue skies year round, visit Game Parks, cycle in Wilderness areas and do various Adventure sports, such as Shark Cage Diving all in a two-week holiday. If that all sounds like to much hard work, you can sit back and relax, watching the sun setting over the African bush, while sipping your Castle Lager and listening to the crickets humming while the smell of 'Boerewors' on the braai whiffs past you.
Unlike many other destinations, in a two week holiday to South Africa you are able to visit Wine Farms one day, travel by luxury overnight train to Johannesburg the next day and the following day have the amazing experience of sitting in an open top vehicle while a pride of Lions lounges in the shade under the clear blue skies of Africa. You are thus able to combine more than one type of holiday in South Africa. You can combine a traditional 'beach' holiday with a few days of sight seeing and tasting fine wines on the Wine Estates. For this reason, South Africa is rapidly becoming known as The World in One Country. Not only does the environment offer a rich diversity, the South African people are also now known as the 'Rainbow Nation'.
There is a rich cultural history that, between visiting exclusive Game Farms, you might stop off and do a township tour, or pop in for a unique cultural experience by visiting a traditional African village. Well, where's the catch? South Africa is however not without it's problems. Poverty, Aids and violent crime are very real. Yet, these problems are slowly being addressed. The safety of tourists is of prime importance for all concerned!.
However, for the general tourist, of more concern is the sheer size of the country. South Africa is the size of France and Spain combined. The coastline is more than 2300 km in length. To see just a bit all this, either some serious driving has to be done, or these days, some flying. The good news is that in general the roads are pretty good. Regional Flights are also relatively cheap.
For visitors from Europe, a major draw card is that there is no jetlag since South Africa only has on average 1-2 hours time difference from most European countries, AND of course the fact, that when it is winter in Europe, it is SUMMER in South Africa.
