It is has to be said that South Africa is one of the best countries in the world for awesome holidays and tours. This country is one of the most colorful and diverse as far as its people and the many different cultures are concerned. If you are thinking about adding a tour to your holiday itinerary, then keep reading to learn about some of the wonderful things you can experience in South Africa
Your South African holiday will be one you will remember for years to come. This stunning country was not crowned the Jewel of Africa for nothing! With it's amazing fauna and flora and wide open spaces, lush wilderness as far as the eye can see (in some of our countries most world famous Nation parks and Wildlife Reserves) and beaches to rival even the most pretty of California, you will have a holiday experience of a life time! I haven't the space to tell you about some of the most historical landmarks, but I will say that it's a journey into the past well worth taking. And no holiday to SA is done without a trip down one of the many wine routes to see some of the world's most renowned wine estates.
Speaking of the coast, when you visit South Africa, you have to make time to visit some of the beaches. We have 3 "Blue Flag" beaches in and around the Cape. They are some of the cleanest, whitest and most beautiful beaches in the world. The water temperature will depend on which beach you visit, so be aware of that. For example, along the West Coast, the waters are freezing but great for surfing, if you are brave enough, and in Gordon's Bay, the water is warm and pleasant to swim in. When you visit and are with a tour guide, then he or she will advise you regarding warm and cold water beaches. If you are traveling on your own, then Google will be a huge help, but then so will the Capetonians, if you ask someone, as they are very friendly and laid back.
Another "landmark" of Cape Town is the V&A (Victoria and Alfred) Waterfront, which has a massive shopping center with a huge and very diverse, food court. It sports its own massive Ferris wheel, with a VIP car. At the waterfront there is a tonne to do, like the indoor craft market, the scratch patch (where you can dig around for semi-precious stones and you can purchase by the bucketful!) There are boat rides and chopper flips available, as well as shark cage diving. At night, the waterfront transforms into a wonderland of sound and light as the restaurants fill up and live bands can be heard everywhere. You can even book a meal on a floating restaurant and enjoy the waterfront view from the deck of a boat.
And then of course, there is the stunning Garden Route. You simply have to drive along this gorgeous stretch of road and stop along the way to see the many natural beauty God created. The Map of Africa is a stunning, no breathtaking sight to see. Standing on that cliff top looking out over the edge of the world, it really looks like the map of Africa! It's quite amazing to see. And just a few meters away, if you are brave enough that is, you can even jump off a cliff, in a tandem para-glider, obviously with a licensed pilot, and soar up into the clear blue skies and see the world from the perspective of eagles. Maybe take a few photos while you are up there. Further up along the route you can visit Birds of Eden, Tsitsikamma Forrest, Knysna Elephant Park, the Cango Caves, the list is endless and I wish I could list them all for you, but it's impossible!
