South Africa is a country rich with natural wonders, from the diverse wildlife to the natural heritage sites and wild parklands and expansive gardens. For example, Kruger National Park in South Africa has two million hectares of land, and here you can spot lions, leopards, elephants, zebras, rhinos and buffalos. Family lodgings, self-catering camping options and even luxury honeymoon accommodation are available all year round, with guided or self-drive jeep tours. You can even trek on horse or take in the majestic landscape from a hot air balloon!
There are hundreds of stunning nature reserves all over this beautiful country. South Africa is also home to the largest baobab tree in the world – at six thousand years old, it is 22 metres high and 47 metres in circumference! With both mountainous and desert landscapes to thrill and inspire visitors, South Africa has the Drakensberg Mountains of KwaZulu-Natal, the magnificent Palace of the Lost City at Rustenburg, the bustling port of Durban, the Table Mountain backdrop of eclectic Cape Town (the most popular international tourist destination) and the buzzing vibe of Johannesburg (the largest and wealthiest city, but not the country’s capital).
South Africa is also home to some of the oldest and most significant archaeological sites in the world. Cape Town has numerous attractions, from the Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens, the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront, Two Oceans Aquarium and more than 25 beaches across False Bay, the West Coast and Atlantic Seaboard. Accommodation is plentiful across a range of regions and resorts, from rustic B&Bs and rental apartments to deluxe hotels.
