SA, The Most Popular Vacation Location For Fun And Relaxation

By Amy Cho


South Africa is one of the most preferred vacation destinations in the world. Granted, summertime is the most preferred time of year as this season is warm and dry, which allows for plenty to do and see, young and old.

Cape Town is known as the Mother City and rivals some of the most lovely cities in the world. And just to to strengthen the point, Cape Town has gained award after award for World's Cleanest Beach and Africa's Leading Destination, just to name 2 ... of the twenty two awards!

So then, what is there to do in Cape Town? Well, Cape Town has the splendid Table Mountain, which vacationers can go up in the cable cars and take pleasure in the magnificent views. In the summer season, you can even delight in a picnic at the top or walk up the mountain. On clear days, the views are spectacular and perfect for taking the most stunning pics. Cape Town alone makes Holiday in South Africa" so worth the journey! Nevertheless, there is so much more to see and experience.

SA has always been known as the Jewel of Africa. South Africa has an astounding coastline that runs for over 3500kms and some of the most beautiful wine estates and boasts outstanding cultural sites and trails.

Speaking of the coastline, when you check out SA, you need to make time to visit some of the beaches. We have 3 "Blue Flag" beaches around the Cape. They are some of the cleanest, whitest and most gorgeous beaches in the world. The water temp depends on which beach you visit, so be aware of that. For example, along the West Coastline, the waters are freezing however wonderful for surfing (in some spots), if you are brave enough, and in Gordon's Bay, the water is warm and enjoyable to swim in. He or she will advise you regarding cold and warm water beaches if you are visiting and are with a tour guide. If you are taking a trip on your own, then Google will be a huge help, however then so will the locals, if you ask someone, as they are extremely friendly and laid back.

An additional landmark of Cape Town is the V&A (Victoria and Alfred) Waterfront, which has an enormous shopping mall with a very diverse and substantial, food court. It sports its own enormous Ferris wheel, with a VIP car. At the waterfront there is so much to do, like the indoor craft market, the scratch patch (where you can dig around for semi-precious stones and you can buy by the bucketful!) There are boat and ferry trips and chopper flips readily available, along with shark cage diving. At night, the waterfront changes into a wonderland of noise and light as the bistros fill up and live bands can be heard all over. You can even book a meal on a floating dining establishment and delight in the waterfront view from the deck of a boat.

In a nutshell, a visit to SA will be an experience of a life time, and a fantastic holiday location option.
