A holiday to South Africa does not come cheap so it is important that you get the most out of your possibly once in a lifetime stay in this magnificent country. Although synonymous with safaris South Africa has far more to offer which is good news for those who do not want that type of holiday.
If your interests lie in discovering a country’s cultural heritage then a visit to South Africa’s Tsodilo Hills should not be missed. Once there you can admire the wonderful ancient rock paintings and visit the villages of the San people one of the oldest cultures on Earth.
If you are a sun worshipper then you will find that South African beaches are some of the best in the world with Cape Town home to one of the top beaches namely Camps Bay. The bay is surrounded by trendy bars and restaurants and its glorious sandy beach is popular with tourists from far and near.
Even though a safari may be out of the question the abundant wildlife of South Africa can still be seen by a day visit to one of the National parks. One of the best and largest is Kruger National Park. In the park there are different habitats ranging from dry and dusty salt beds to wetlands and the opportunity to see not only the Big Five but also the Birding Big Six including the Saddle-bill Stork and the Martial Eagle.
