Best Things To Do in South Africa

South Africa Wildlife Safaris

South Africa is probably most famous for its amazing wildlife, and one of the most popular activities to do here is a safari. There are various options to choose from including an open vehicle drive, a guided bush walk, or a hot air ballon safari.
On safari, it is almost certain that there will be many wildlife sightings including the Big Five (lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos and buffalo), as well as other renowned African species such as giraffes, zebras, and cheetahs. Many safaris have a tracker or guide who explains the animals and their habits. In Kruger National Park it is an 80% certainty that visitors will see the Big Five.

shark Cage Diving

Shark cage diving is a thrilling experience for sports enthusiasts who like to get up close and personal with some of the ocean’s deadliest predators. The waters around South Africa are home to great whites, copper sharks, blue sharks and many other species. Shark cage diving is a popular activity, and visitors who want to get a feel of what it is like to be in the wild with sharks can join a guided shark cage diving tour. They are lowered into the water in a tightly locked steel cage where they share the waters with the fearsome creatures. No prior experience of diving is required, as they first get a full briefing on safety from the knowledgeable guides.

Hike in the Drakensberg Mountains

The Drakensberg Mountains, or ‘Dragon Mountains’ in Afrikaans, is one of South Africa’s most beautiful natural wonders. It is renowned for its vast array of flora and fauna – some species endemic to the area, including the Drakensberg rockjumper and Drakensberg cycad, to name a few. Hikers can enjoy a number of short and long, easy and strenuous nature trails. The area is also home to the UNESCO World Heritage Site, UKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park – known for its awe-inspiring natural beauty and a multitude of San rock art sites depicting thousands of years of cultural heritage. Hiking in the Drakensberg Mountains is truly a spectacular experience, where explorers of the outdoors can immerse themselves in Africa’s unparalleled natural beauty.

FAQs about Safaris in South Africa

South Africa can be considered a year-round safari destination, and the best time to visit varies as much as the traveller’s desires. From May to September, the country’s dry winters provide clear, bright days with excellent wildlife viewing; animals huddle near waterholes and vegetation is less thick, providing good visibility of game. These are also the low season and offer decent savings on accommodations and fewer crowds. The summers of October to April bring lush landscapes, newborn animals, and brightly-coloured birdlife. South Africa receives 464mm of rainfall a year on average.

A Safari in South Africa has various cost options depending on season, length of stay, accommodation and activities. Budget tours from $150 per person per night.

The Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park, in KwaZulu-Natal, is first-rate for safari, particularly its rhino conservation efforts.
