This destination has long been on my personal bucket list. The beauty, the culture, and the abundance of natural attractions are the perfect ingredients for travel dreaming.
Before you delve into the reasons why this nation should be your next great expedition, imagine topping off your South African adventure with a cruise that not only enhances the allure of exploring South Africa but also wraps it in opulence, making every moment onboard as memorable as the landscapes you'll explore. Read on to learn how you can seamlessly continue your adventure on the high seas, where every detail is tailored for elegance and unmatched comfort.
1. Cape Town
As one of South Africa's three capitals, the Mother City is one that you must explore. Not only is it one of the top holiday destinations in the entire world, but it's full of natural, exotic beauty that you can't find anywhere else. There's excellent food, plenty of beaches, and, last but not least, Table Mountain.
2. The Garden Route
For some of the most breathtaking coastline views, take the Garden Route from Mossel Bay to Storms River. Visit and view small towns, rugged shores, sandy beaches, and thick forests.
3. Safaris in Kruger National Park
It may not be the only place to go for a safari adventure in South Africa, but it is undoubtedly one of the greatest. On the safari, you'll get to witness and interact with the ‘Big Five’ of Africa’s most significant wild animals: lions, rhinos, elephants, buffalos, and leopards.
4. Family Safaris: They aren't just for the grown ups.
If you have decided to bring the children along on your once-in-a-lifetime, memorable South Africa vacation, make sure to go on several family-friendly safaris. Many of the safari tours will offer youth programs, age-appropriate, hands-on activities, and playgrounds.
5. It’s easy to navigate and explore nearby destinations.
South Africa makes it easy to get around with its well-established and maintained road network and infrastructure. You are also allowed to drive there with a foreign license as long as it includes your photograph.
There are also several main international airports so that you can fly into any of the nation's major cities.
Of course, the list of South Africa Travel Reasons doesn't end here. It would be too hard to name them all. Nonetheless, there are endless reasons one should make it a point to visit the country.
