When you think of South Africa, what is the first word that pops up in your head –Wildlife or Nature? But is it just these that makes South Africa what it is? Move over flora and fauna, for in South Africa there is much more that will change your perception forever! From spotting the Big Five during wildlife safaris, swimming along with sharks and whales, haggling for stunning curios at flea markets to tasting appetizing food and wine in the rolling grassland, South Africa is a destination of myriad opportunities, especially for those who are still young at heart.

South Africa, on the southernmost tip of the African continent, is diverse in its tourism experiences. Unlike Kenya, Tanzania, Botswana and Namibia, South Africa has undoubtedly been the safest travel destination and proof of this have been the millions of tourists visiting it every year. From the famed Kruger National Park in Johannesburg to the Tala Game Reserve in Durban, you can witness several endangered species coupled with breathtaking views of shrub lands dotted with exotic trees, rolling grasslands and bush life. If you are in love with the big beasts then head to the Tenikwa Wildlife Rehabilitation Center near Knysna to see the lions and cheetahs. And if you don’t mind a bit of thrill, then stroll or play with them, all under utmost safety of course! What’s more? In Port Elizabeth and Cape Town, you can sail with the whales, play with the dolphins, admire the penguins, stroke the seals and sea lions, and if you are a serious adventurist then swim with the sharks as well!

If you love nature, the Eastern Cape Province, the most diverse vacation destination in South Africa, will enthrall you with its natural beauty. The best way to explore this place is to hire a car and drive along the NH2 highway to enjoy the views of the dramatic coastlines, sheltered bays, jagged cliffs, wild beaches and the rolling hills and valleys. The natural beauty of the Western Cape Province is also equally pleasing to the eyes. The picturesque grandeur of Cape Town in Western Cape along with Table Mountain, Cape Wine Land, Robben Island, Cape of Good Hope and Cape Peninsula are some of the most exciting attractions. A one-day tour from Cape Town to Franschhoek Wine Valley starting with Dalewood Fromage will allow you experience the warm hospitality of the locals.

South Africa’s cities will enthrall you with their network of flea and suburban markets, malls, casinos and more. A guided walking tour in Durban will immerse your mind in the Indian history and legacy, since Indians inhabited this place from the early 18th century making it the largest Indian city outside India. The fossilized footprint near Cape Town or the rock paintings of the Drakensberg Mountains testify to mankind’s origin in this ancient continent. From Robben Island in Cape Town, where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 27 years to the Apartheid Museum in Johannesburg, you can hear the mesmerizing tale of South Africa’s violent past along with its historical and cultural heritage.

So if you are planning your trip with the boys or contemplating on gifting the journey of a lifetime to your parents, book your tickets to South Africa for a mesmerizing 360° experience.
