Attractions in South Africa
SOUTH AFRICA ATTRACTIONSSouth Africa is a land of unrivalled beauty and brilliance, and
visiting this magnificent country transports you to a place of
cultural diversity, rich, luscious landscapes and abundant wildlife.
With so many world-famous South Africa attractions to see, you can
be sure that your holiday will be jam-packed with exciting tours and
adventures. But, while it may be difficult to squeeze a visit to
each and every one of the country’s renowned landmarks into your
busy itinerary, there are some sights and scenes that you simply
cannot afford to miss!
South Africa’s Top Tourist AttractionsSouth Africa is known for its impressive variety of birds, plants
and wildlife, and so it goes without saying that any trip to the
country should include a visit to the famed national parks that take
up much of the dense South African landscape. Game reserves such as
the Kruger National Park, Addo Elephant Park and Augrabies Falls
National Park are home to a myriad of majestic creatures, many of
which can be viewed at close range when you embark upon a South
African wildlife safari. See if you can spot all of the “Big Five”
animals – the lion, cheetah, elephant, rhinoceros and buffalo – when
you venture into the undergrowth of the South African bushveld!
Explore South Africa’s historical landmarksAs South Africa emerges from a tumultuous past, locals and visitors
alike are fascinated by the dramatic landmarks that serve as stark
reminders of the country’s troubled history. One of the most
infamous of these is Robben Island, where former South African
President Nelson Mandela was incarcerated during the days of
apartheid. A 45-minute ferry trip from Cape Town’s V&A Waterfront
takes you to this cultural landmark, which was declared a World
Heritage site in 1999. A visit to this island provides an enriching
cultural and educational experience for visitors of all ages.
Discover South Africa’s natural wealthSouth Africa is a country rich in natural wonders, and Cape Town’s
world-famous Table Mountain perfectly embodies this fact. As one of
the most popular tourist attractions in South Africa, Table Mountain
defines the Cape’s landscape and provides a breathtaking backdrop to
the exquisite city scenery. Overseas visitors can enjoy a unique
sightseeing opportunity by travelling to very top of the mountain,
either via cable car or on foot, and watching the sun slipping into
the sparkling Atlantic Ocean at dusk.
Another well-known World Heritage Site that exemplifies South
Africa’s immense natural wealth is The Cradle of Humankind in
Gauteng. This cluster of twelve limestone caves boasts the
fossilised remains of prehistoric plants, animals and, most notably,
hominids. These fossils, embedded in the walls of the dolomitic
caves, have provided archaeologists with valuable insight into the
earliest days of human existence, and offer tourists the rare
opportunity to come face to face with their (very distant)
predecessors!
Sample some famous South African flavoursA trip to South Africa is not complete without a tour through the
lush, green vineyards of the Cape Winelands. Sampling some of the
region’s offerings will reveal why South African wines are fast
becoming some of the most sought-after in the world! The Cape’s
Mediterranean climate makes it the ideal region for creating rich,
full-bodied wines. You can get a taste some of these reds, whites
and blends when you visit the vineyards in Stellenbosch, Paarl or
Franschhoek. Apart from these wine-tasting opportunities, visitors
can also explore cosy wine cellars and hike through the scenic
valleys and mountains surrounding the vineyards – although not
necessarily in that order!
