South Africa has the peculiarity of enabling you to have practically any holiday you prefer, or even to have 3 holidays in one! You might have a classical lazy beach holiday to begin with, and then opt for some daring safaris and eco-hiking tracks and then end off with some outstanding nightlife, cultural events and wine tasting. This short article checks out all these possibilities.
When preparing for your journey to South Africa, the first thing you need to do is get your bearings. Safari land is in the north-western part of the country and is some hours' drive from Johannesburg or Durban. A flight from Johannesburg to Cape Town is about 2 hours long. From Cape Town you have two coastlines, the warm Indian Ocean to the east, and the cool Atlantic Ocean to the west
The well-known Garden Route runs along the N2 seaside roadway of the eastern coastline. The Wine Route, also known as Route 62, sometime crosses the N2. It is 850 kilometers long and ends in Port Elizabeth. On the west coastline, you have your N7 with the Namaqualand Flower Route, and Route 27, renowned for its outdoor seafood bistros.
South Africa tours are virtually all along these main axis.
Safaris in the north-western area of the country are excellent since they include the Kruger National Park, which is well-known. When visiting this location, you can expect luxury lodges that are artfully done so as to blend perfectly with the surrounding savannah. They often have Spas with open air massages and Jacuzzis. The rangers will take you for game drives aboard open-jeeps and also for game walks. They are extremely experienced on animal behavior and so you security is guaranteed, even though you may have a lion or rhino at arm's length, and with no fence in between!
Whilst in the area, it could absolutely be worth your while to check out the St Lucia Wetland Park in Kwazulu Natal; 280 km of virgin shoreline and marshland that you can visit aboard small boats. The natural reserve is densley populated with birds, turtles, crocodiles and hippos.
From here, it is a good idea to take a plane straight to Cape Town, and then decide whether you are going to opt for "flowers and fish" along the west coast or for "wine and beach" along the eastern coast.
The west coast is less touristy than the east coast. Here you can enjoy the Cedaberg Mountains with its centuries old rock art, and see stunning seaside towns like Saldanha, Paternoster, Langebaan and Lambert's Bay. Along the way you can change over to the R 27 and appreciate seashore, outdoor restaurants.
In springtime it does rain a little, and the arid land is entirely changed with vibrant flowers that completely cover the ground along stretches of land.
According to the Guinness Book of Records, this location has the 2nd mildest climate in the world, 2nd only to Hawaii. In the winter season it is hardly ever colder the 10 degrees Celsius and in summertime it hardly ever is hotter than twenty-nine degrees Celsius.
The Wine Route is eigh hundred and fifty kilometers long and you will be able to taste wine and do wine sampling classes in Robertson, Wellington and Tulbagh, just to name a few.
