South Africa has the peculiarity of enabling you to have nearly any holiday you prefer, or even to have 3 vacations in one! You can have a classical lazy beach vacation to begin with, and then go for some daring safaris and eco-hiking trails then end off with some excellent night life, cultural occasions and wine tasting. This post explores all these possibilities.
When preparing for your trip to SA, the first thing you should 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 two hours long. From Cape Town you have two shorelines, the warm Indian Ocean to the east, and the cool Atlantic Ocean to the west
The famous Garden Route runs along the N2 seaside road of the east coastline. The Wine Route, likewise called Route 62, at some point crosses the N2. It is eight hundred and fifty kilometers long and ends in PE. On the west coastline, you have your N7 with the Namaqualand Flower Route, and Route 27, renowned for its outdoor seafood restaurants.
South Africa tours are almost all along these primary axis.
Safaris in the north-western part of the country are terrific because they include the Kruger National Park, which is world famous. When seeing this location, you can expect luxury lodges that are artfully done so so that they blend completely with the bordering savannah. They often have Spas with open air massages and Jacuzzis. The rangers will take you for game drives aboard open-jeeps as well as for game walks. They are highly experienced on animal habits therefore you safety is guaranteed, despite the fact that you might have a lion or rhino at arm's length, and without a fence in between!
Whilst in the area, it might absolutely be worth your while to see the St Lucia Wetland Park in Kwazulu Natal; 280 kilometers of virgin shoreline and marshland that you can check out aboard little boats. The natural reserve is densley populated with birds, hippos, turtles and crocodiles.
From here, it is suggested to take a plane directly to Cape Town, then decide whether you are going to go for "flowers and fish" along the west coast or for "wine and beach" along the east coast.
The west coast is less touristy than the eastern coastline. Here you can appreciate the Cedaberg Mountains with its acient rock art, and go to stunning coastal towns like Saldanha, Paternoster, Langebaan and Lambert's Bay. Along the way you can switch to the R 27 and appreciate your seaside, open-air bistros. Here crayfish is particularly good and inexpensive. All the fish is caught fresh daily, and it is usually cooked on an open fire for you. Taking a trip further north, you will wind up in Namaqualand, which is a "mini-Namibia" of sorts. It has a dry climate therefore you will have beautiful dry weather all year round.
In the spring it rains a little, and the arid land is totally transformed with vibrant flowers that completely cover the ground along stretches of land.
According to the Guinness Book of Records, this area has the 2nd mildest climate in the world, second just to Hawaii. In winter it is hardly ever colder the ten degrees Celsius and in summertime it rarely is hotter than 29 degrees Celsius.
The Wine Route is eigh hundred and fifty kilometers long and you will be able to taste wine and do wine tasting classes in Robertson, Wellington and Tulbagh, just among others.
