Great Concepts For Things To Do While On Vacation In South Africa

By Jonathan Bullard


South Africa is a friendly and wonderfully warm country with so much history and culture that it is impossible to everything in one, single vacation trip. Read on if you are interested in finding out what this country has to offer.

There is a lot to see in this amazing country, like the magnificent mountains and the crystal blue seas at their feet, with their beautiful, white beaches along the coast. The West Coast is magnificent in its easy charm with seaside villages and some of the best seafood you will ever have the satisfaction of tasting. You can also enjoy amazing nature scenes when the wild flowers burst into bloom in the spring, which calls forth all the gorgeous birds, for those who enjoy bird watching. For those who wish to see something a little larger, there is also whale watching. Awe inspiring!

Betty's Bay is one of the seaside towns along the coastline that caters to the holiday maker. It is situated at the foot of the Kogelberg Mountains and is in between Pringle Bay and Kleinmond, along the R44. This stunning, yet tranquil village is bordered by lavish fynbos and rugged beaches. It is also a popular area to see the Jackass Penguin colony playing on the beaches and rocks. It really is among the Western Cape's hidden little gems where you can lease a cabin or beach house for a family holiday or a private, couples retreat. Further along the R44 towards Kleinmond, is the Harold Porter National Botanical Garden. You can walk in the mountains and along some lovely paths and later take pleasure in a scrumptious meal at the restaurant, or, if you like, bring a picnic lunch and eat at the foot of the mountain.

South African holidays are not complete without a drive up along the Garden Route. Here you will see quite a lot of the most sensational scenery. Along the Garden Route you will find small little spots completely surrounded by the stark beauty of Africa. There are hundreds of little guest houses and camp sites to stay at and experience SA hospitality at its finest. Stop in, and let the village friendliness welcome you.

Further up you will discover the Map of Africa, so called because when you stand at the precipice looking out over the chasm; it looks almost precisely like the map of Africa! And just a little way from the Map, is where the daredevil in you can experience the most thrilling sport around; paragliding! The best thing is you do not require any experience and will have the amazing panoramic view to take the most spectacular pictures of your holiday.

All in all, a holiday to SA is a top 5 holiday must for everyone searching for variety and a lot of fun.
