The basics
Why, when, and where.
Why
As one of the most interesting travel destinations, South Africa offers a range of experiences for every traveller. Providing great value for money with travel when compared to other developed-world destinations. Extraordinary scenery and wildlife.
Where
South Africa has an enormous amount to offer. For big 5 wildlife safaris, you'd want to consider Kruger National Park, Sabi Sands Game Reserve.
For nightlife, restaurants and exquisite scenery, spend a few days in Cape Town.
When
Cape Town is best between November and March when it's warm and not too windy.
The Kruger Park is best towards the end of winter, before it gets too hot, and you can easily see wildlife with the foliage having lost its leaves.
