South Africa: 1st Class Tourism

When all is said and done and the trophies are in the salt, explore South Africa and what it has to offer:

• Northern Cape: The Northern Cape’s varied attractions take full advantage of the province’s wide-open land and expanses of nothingness. Once the game hunting is packed up, head to Sutherland and experience South Africa’s Largest Telescope (SALT). One of the more well-known attractions is the Big Hole found in Kimberley, where one can experience the largest hand-dug mining site in worldwide.
• ·Western Cape: Apart from the picturesque landscapes, this iconic area offers fun attractions like the Cango Ostrich Farm and the Cango Caves, the largest cave system in South Africa. Don’t forget Cape Town with all it has to offer tourists from the Wine Route, V&A Waterfront, Table Mountain, and more, to the Garden Route and the towns along the route, are well worth exploring.
• Eastern Cape: The EC region offers attractions ranging from those exploring the province’s rich history and natural beauty, to those seeking adrenaline. If you find yourself and your hunting adventure not too far from the main city of Gqeberha (formerly Port Elizabeth), it’s not too long a drive before you reach the seaside mecca that is Jeffrey’s Bay, a great place to wash off the dust.
• KwaZulu-Natal: KZN’s famous Umgeni River area is home to the Valley of 1000 Hills, an attraction that takes full advantage of some of the province’s lushest land. The area brings boating, fishing, and even plane tours to the public, but the best way to experience this area is by the 1000 Hills Choo Choo, a historic steam–train–powered tourist experience. For those looking to take full advantage of South Africa’s warm climate, visit the Golden Mile strip of beachfront coast and the iconic uShaka Marine World.
• Mpumalanga: While the Blyde River Canyon is an attraction on its own, specific locations along the way include God’s Window, where, on a clear day, one can see to the Lebombo Mountains bordering Mozambique.
• Limpopo: A combined experience for birding enthusiasts and water lovers, the Fundudzi River and Thathe Vondo Forest region is well worth a visit, and there are many large game reserves in the area where you can enjoy a range of game drives and activities.
• Free State: South Africa’s largest dam, the Gariep, is surrounded by a host of various accommodation facilities, from caravan parks and campsites to luxury resorts and chalet-style options. The area is famous for its array of activities, including traditional favorites like fly fishing, rafting, and horseback riding.
• Gauteng: Something to thrill everyone, especially the youngsters, is Gold Reef City, South Africa’s favourite amusement park.  A truly South African experience is Vilakazi Street in Soweto, the only street worldwide to have raised two Nobel Prize winners, namely Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu.
• North West: One of the best ways to experience the North West is the iconic Hartbeespoort Cableway, the longest aerial cable car ride in Africa. This famous cableway showcases the wonders of both the Magaliesberg Mountains and Hartbeespoort Dam. For those looking to enjoy a little luxury, the place to go is South Africa’s famous Sun City resort, where sun, glitz, and glamour are the order of the day.
