You could also sample what Kruger Park Safari has on offer; from the huge African elephant to the agile leopard; from the regal lions to the squat rhinos, the members of the Big Five, as well as plenty others, are here in large numbers.

The country’s history is incredibly rich, albeit troubled in spots as is the case with every other nation, and there is a lot for tourists to learn. In itself, it is a potent attraction for the tourist, both local and international. It makes for an enthralling lesson, learning about apartheid’s impact on the diverse cultural fabric of the nation, the long and grueling fight for independence and how the European and the Africans learned to hold hands and work together. You may have heard of the celebrated wines of South Africa.. It isn’t just the wines that make for a great attraction though; the vineyards of South Africa themselves are a true spectacle. If you are a wine buff, you will find this quick (30 minute) drive from Cape Town as exciting as it is educative.
