South Africa: Updates & Travel

Travel in South Africa

  • South Africa is a rare beautiful country. It has different climates and beautiful natural areas. you can visit wildlife parks like Kruger, Natal Drakensberg or Tsitsikamma Coastal National Park. Not only are you assured of wildlife success there, but you can usually drive yourself through them. Cape Town (at the foot of Table Mountain) is a metropolis not to be missed. From Cape Town to Durban, you have beaches everywhere for surfing or swimming. Just check that you are not diving into the territory of a penguin, white shark or sea lion.
  • Bungee jumping off Bloukrans Bridge is the highest bungee jump in the world.
  • Blyderiver Canyon is the third largest canyon in the world and is known for its impressive natural phenomena. So there are a number of different itineraries for the Blyderiver Canyon.
  • Safari in the Kruger Park because the Kruger Park is the most famous wildlife park in the world where the big five, cheetahs and hyenas, among others, live. There are also a number of camps where you can stay overnight.
  • Durban's beaches. Durban is also known as the Miami of South Africa. The beaches are wildly popular with surfers and the boulevard is widely skated. Towards the border with Mozambique you come to the most beautiful nature reserves and better diving locations (including whale sharks).
  • Robben Island in Cape Town. A place of exile founded by the VOC. Nelson Mandela was imprisoned here for his opposition to the apartheid regime. You can take a look inside his cell and visit the village where the guards used to live. The tours are done by former prisoners.

  • Cape Town. The city has many historic buildings and is located on one of the more beautiful bays, with Table Mountain in the background. The colorful city has many different nationalities and this is reflected everywhere, for example in the delicious food. Another example is the oldest neighborhood Bo-kaap, with brightly colored houses and an Islamic character. It also has good beaches and a super entertainment center on Long Street, where there are also many bookstores, antique shops and boutiques. Nearby are several wine regions and botanical gardens.
  • At the top of Cape Point, you have extensive views of the Indian and Atlantic oceans. The coast is also known for the many baboons that live there.
  • Visit the Apartheid Museum in Johannesburg. It is an interesting and visit-worthy hotspot in South Africa. This museum tells the most important part of South African history. A visit to the museum is quite moving and quite fascinating.
  • Elephant Coast combines white beaches with swamps and a rainforest. Here you can find a lot of diversity of wildlife. For lovers of true wilderness, the safari in Kosi Bay is recommended. St. Lucia is suitable for the more upscale tourist.
  • Mpumalanga - The south-eastern province of South Africa is perhaps the most beautiful in South Africa with spectacular wildlife (especially the Drakensberg). Also visit Pimgrim's Rest, an old gold mining village in this province.
  • The seaside resort of Hermanus where you can spot whales. You can swim among the world's largest sharks or rappel off Table Mountain, if you like.
  • Be aware that the cost of safari parks can be very high. 
  • There is a big difference between the rich and poor. Johannesburg is not really safe. In the big cities, the suburbs (townships) can be dangerous.
  • Some fish have a somewhat unfriendly character.
