What Are the Top Destinations in South Africa?

South Africa tours show a very diverse country with several Nature Parks for African Safaris, Mountains, Wine Areas, the Garden Beach Route and amazing Cape Town.

Below are our most visited cities, destinations and national parks in South Africa.

Capetown ("Kaapstad" in Afrikaans) is one of the most beautiful major cities in the world. It is the meeting point for two oceans with mountains and a natural harbor. Thanks to its nature many migrants moved there and movies were recorded there. Activities may include surfing, fishing, shark watching (!) or just walking and enjoying. Note that the area also produces good wines...

Durban is the 3rd largest city and the busiest port in South-Africa. Durban is a ethnically diverse city, with large Zulu, White, and Indian/Asian populations.

Addo Elephant National Park is a diverse wildlife conservation park in South Africa and is one of the country's 20 national parks.

The Drakensberg ("Dragons Mountain") escarpment is a mountain range in Eastern South Africa that includes features such as the Blyde River Canyon, Three Rondavels, and God's Window.

Johannesburg is the largest city and economic heart of South-Africa. People are starting to make it a "friendlier" city, away from the bad name of robbers and thieves. You still need to be careful, but a city tour to see the old and new Joburg is certainly worthwhile. Buying diamants? De Beers has its HQ here. Politics? Visit So-We-To (South-West Township) where Nelson Mandela lived.

Knysna is a major destination on the Garden Route with a lagoon, cliffs , forests an lots of ourdoor activities.

The Kruger National Park is one of the largest game reserves in the world. The big five and many other animals have their home here. The location north-east of Johannesburg makes it an easy destination.

Oudtshoorn is known for its ostrich farms.
