Great safari South Africa destinations are inclusive of the famous Kruger National Park, the breathtaking city of Cape Town, Fold Drakensberg Mountains and The Amazing Big Five.

More to know about South Africa

As earlier mentioned, South Africa isn’t short of beauty and this also applies to their culture. It is only right to say that South Africans are deeply rooted in their culture. This is strongly evident through their ways of life; houses, dress codes, diets, and even salutations. What you’ll notice during your tour is that each region comes with distinctive craftworks, architecture, and culture in general.

What not to miss during your South Africa adventure are the festivals; everyone loves these. South Africa has hundreds of events celebrated throughout the year, and regardless of the month you visit, you’ll be lucky enough to come across a few. The month of June holds the National Arts Festival in Eastern Cape Town whereas the Knysna Oyster Festival is held on July in Western Cape Town. This festival features a serious 10-day oyster eating and wine tasting events. For music lovers, the Kirstenbosch Summer Sunset Concerts are your thing. The festival features excellent performances covering different genres. The festival is held from November to March at the foot of Table Mountain.

South Africa is relatively peaceful; unlike regular reports from foreign media. The atmosphere is normally intense during election periods, but safe at other times. Xenophobia attacks have been reported in some areas, but stay close to your guides for safety. Listen and do as they say, and we assure you of your safety. Remember to carry along any medications that you may require during your South Africa travels. We advise that you carry along mosquito repellants especially during nighttime camping at the wilderness. It’s now time for us to leave you, and we have to say Goodbye or as they say it in Zulu: Sala Kahle.
