South Africa Travel Guide

South Africa is a great country to travel in. The parks might be a little more 'civilised' and even be more crowded than in other countries, but the wildlife in Kruger and the wilderness aspect of the Kgalagadi is fabulous. The birding can be great and south of Cape Town the coastal scenery is stunning.

A beautiful country with great food, wine and people!

A cultural meltingpot of the world's history in an amazingly eclectic country.

My time in South Africa was spent in Johannesburg and Cape Town. Johannesburg is a big city with lots of neat markets and was a perfect starting point for the trips I've done in southern Africa.
Cape Town is amazing! The culture and history are overflowing in every part of the city. There is just so much iconic history in Cape Town that I would recommend taking one of the city tour buses - it was a great way to take it all in and learn a lot. The preservation of old buildings and the demolished areas of District 6 portray a city comfortable with its past and interest in educating the masses.
Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden, nestled amongst the mountains represent a stunning collection of botanical knowledge. The gardens have rolling green lawns with Fynbos, proteas, and cycads everywhere. Proteas have the most amazing flowers and I would recommend going at time when the majority are in bloom - well worth the wait to see their brilliance.
Table Mountain is a must. It is an iconic natural feature and provides stunning views of the city.
From night clubs and posh bars to amazing food and incredible scenery. Cape Town has been the highlight of my trips to South Africa and I highly recommend it for everyone.

In 1999 I visited South Africa and then I was in Kruger National Park and Umfolozi National Park. There I saw a lot of animals

Loads of animals to see in South Africa.

There are so many options to choose from. Whether you are a hard core in-the-bush safari person/family or just drawn by all the natural beauty. You can have a balanced tour!

A beautifull country with very beautifull wild life in the wild parks. We are coming again!

We've only been to Pilanesberg.

South Africa is good for wildlife but in Africa their are more places which are even better. South afric ais a big country with also a lot of culture and wildlife is only a part of it.

There is a wide variety of game, birds and flora to see. The climate is great, lots of sunshine.
