SA, The Most Popular Holiday Choice For Fun And Relaxation

By Amy Cho


South Africa is one of the most preferred vacation locations globally. Granted, summertime is the most preferred time of year as this season is dry and warm, which allows for plenty to see and do, young and old.

Cape Town is known as the Mother City and equals some of the most stunning cities in the world. And just to make the point stronger, Cape Town has gained award after award for World's Cleanest Beach and Africa's Leading Destination, just to mention 2 ... of the twenty two awards!

So then, what exactly is there to do in Cape Town? Well, Cape Town has the stunning Table Mountain, which travelers can go up in the cable cars and delight in the incredible views. In the summer season, you can even have a picnic at the top or hike up the mountain. On clear days, the views are spectacular and ideal for taking the most beautiful pics. Cape Town alone makes Holiday in South Africa" so worth the journey! Nevertheless, there is much, much more to see and experience.

South Africa has always been referred to as the Jewel of Africa. It is a big and stunning continent that has fantastic fauna and lavish flora. It likewise has more than twenty National Parks, Nature Reserves and World Heritage sites. South Africa has an astonishing coastline that stretches over 3500kms and some of the most beautiful wine estates and boasts remarkable cultural sites and tracks. There is no doubt why this country has been crowned the Gem of Africa.

Speaking of the coast, when you visit SA, you need to make time to go to a few of the beaches. We have 3 "Blue Flag" beaches in and around the Cape. They are a few of the cleanest, whitest and most stunning beaches on the planet. The water temp depends on which beach you visit, so know that. Along the West Coast, the waters are freezing but terrific for surfing, if you are brave enough, and in Gordon's Bay, the water is pleasant and warm to swim in. He or she will advise you concerning cold and warm water beaches if you are visiting and are with a tour guide. If you are traveling on your own, then Google will be a big help, but then so will the locals, if you ask someone, as they are really friendly and laid back.

Another landmark of Cape Town is the V&A (Victoria and Alfred) Waterfront, which has a massive shopping mall with a extremely diverse and big, food court. It sports its own massive Ferris wheel, with a VIP car. At the waterfront there is a lot to do, like the indoor craft market, the scratch patch (where you can dig around for semi-precious stones and you can purchase by the bucketful!) There are boat and ferry rides and chopper flips readily available, in addition to shark cage diving. At night, the waterfront changes into a wonderland of sound and light as the dining establishments fill up and live bands can be heard all over. You can even book a meal on a floating restaurant and delight in the waterfront view from the deck of a boat.

In short, a visit to SA will be an experience of a life time, and an incredible holiday destination option.
