If you enjoy the high life, there's a wonderful array of cuisine and fine wines. And let's not forget the huge diversity of wild animals you'll see on safari. With so much variety, a holiday here really does offer a world in one country. Whether you're watching lions in Kruger Park, or whales on the Garden Route, the wildlife in South Africa is amazing. From the mountains of Drakensberg to the beaches of the Cape, the scenery is stunning, and from bungee jumping to shark diving, the opportunities for adventure are many and varied.
If you like to shop, you can hit the malls in cosmopolitan Cape Town, stroll the Indian bazaars in Durban and pick up traditional crafts in Zulu villages. Fans of fine food and wine can enjoy seafood in Cape Town's waterfront restaurants, savour curry in Durban and sip wines in the Cape vineyards. If you'd like to explore the different cultures and their histories, there are plenty of opportunities for that, too. Visit Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was held prisoner, and admire ancient cave paintings in KwaZulu Natal. Your only problem when planning a holiday in South Africa will be fitting in everything you want to do!
