South Africa is easily the biggest tourism success story of the 21st century. Prior to democracy in 1994 it saw only 600 thousand tourists per annum, and in 2015, upwards of 11 million tourists per annum visit this incredibly diverse country.
Cape Town is the crown jewel of the country offering one of the most beautiful coastal cities in the world, with mountains, beaches, vineyards, Table Mountain, Robben Island and Cape of Good Hope. Moving east along the Garden route we find Hermanus, whale watching capital of Africa, the southern tip of Africa, the Klein Karoo semi desert, then rainforests of Tsitsikamma National Park, Addo Elephant National Park and the wild coast of the Transkei.
Continuing east along the coastline we come to the tropical playground city of Durban, the world heritage sites of iSimangaliso Wetlands, and the oldest game reserve on the African Continent, Hluhluwe. Then we head into the safari headquarters of this country, Kruger National Park and the iconic private reserves of Sabi Sands, Timbavati and the famous Blyde River Canyon.
South Africa’s lesser known malaria free safari reserves such as Madikwe, Shamwari, Amakhala, Welgevonden, Tswalu, Pilanesberg are perfect for families with younger children, or those who prefer not to take malaria precautions.
Johannesburg and Pretoria in the north play host to the richest square mile in Africa, and some of the finest city hotels, cultural experiences and incredible launch points to other parts of the country with the most modern airport on the continent, OR Tambo International.
The list of other attractions such as the Kalahari, the Namaqualand, Zululand, Drakensberg world heritage sites, West Coast National Park and the Unesco heritage regions of Baviaanskloof or Richtersveld, are all home to incredible beauty in natural, historical or cultural perspectives.
