Game Viewing and Safari
 |
| Kruger National Park |
Safaris and game
viewing in South Africa are as up-close and as it gets. Go on a game drive, a
bush walk,or even a horse-ride for an authentic, even life-changing wildlife
adventure. If you're looking for a Big Five
safari experience in South Africa you can go to almost any province in South
Africa, but the Kruger National Park in Mpumalanga and Limpopo provinces
remains an iconic tourism draw card. The Big Five (lion, leopard,
elephant, rhino and buffalo) abound in the park, and you see them by
self-drive, guided game drives or guided walks through the bushveld.
From a night of fine
dining to raucous all-night party in a township shebeen (tarven), South
Africans love to have a good time. Let your hair down and live it up in our
clubs, pubs, late-night bars, theatres and live music venues. You won't just find
the best wildlife in our game parks..Come on, the party's starting!
From
off-the-beaten-track curio markets filled with collectable handicrafts, to
bargain-stuffed flea markets and gliftzy malls in our big cities with the
largest must-have name brands, shop-a-holics are spoiled for choice in South
Africa. The
quality, cost and variety of goods on offer along with the safe, sophisticated
environment provided by South Africa’s shopping centres should not take
visiting international holidaymakers and business people by surprise. South
Africa's malls are famous for their excellent shopping and entertainment
facilities. When you leave the country after your holiday or business trip, you
will lament the baggage restrictions of the international airlines and wish
that you could take more of South Africa home with you!
We have
thousands of miles of glorious coastline, with Blue Flag beach gems dotted
along its length. Whether you’re a trendy sun-worshipper, a water sports
fanatic, a beach comber or a family seeking sea and fun- South Africa’s got a
beach that’s perfect for you.
Visit
for the anti-apartheid struggle history and stay for the vibe. Go beyond the
history and icons to the warm, welcoming heart of our townships and their
residents where determination, innovation and cutting-edge style will surprise,
inspire and touch you in ways you never dreamt possible.
However
you define adventure, it’s possible in South Africa. We can conjure up your
wildest expectation and more: seeing the big five, diving with great white
sharks, death defying adventure sports or discovering the humanity and
generosity of other cultures. You can get a chance to see the great white
sharks. Great white shark
conservation was pioneered in South Africa, the first country to declare this
toothy predator a protected species. Perceptions have altered over the past two
decades. Most adventure tourists don’t consider their trip complete until they
have seen a shark, usually at Gansbaai in the Western Cape.
Let the
good times roll! Go back to gold rush days at Gold Reef City, play the little
Mermaid (or Captain Hook!) at uShaka Marine World and test your water prowess
at the valley of the waves in Sun City. Our fun-packed theme parks across the
country will keep the smile on your face for days. The Gold Reef City theme
park, located in central Johannesburg, is built around an authentic 19th
century gold mine, and brings together fascinating historical attractions with
some of the most thrilling rides in the southern hemisphere. For a day of
frenetic family fun, it cannot be beat.
Bet
on having a good time around South Africa. From slick gaming sports for
high-rollers to family seaside entertainment venues, and our most famous
casino, Sun City, in the crate of an ancient volcano- we’ve myriad casinos
where you can take chance with Lady Luck. South African casinos, including
several large entertainment complexes, can be found countrywide. These
entertainment destinations are typically designed around a specific theme and
include a large range of activities for the whole family. Many are also geared
towards business tourism, providing hotels and conferencing facilities as well.
Ride
them, feed them, and learn about them- who knew that big bird in the Little Karoo could be so much fun! We don’t think you’ll get your new long-necked
friend through customs, though- so opt for an egg shell, leather goods or some
bright feathers as a memento of your Oudsthoorn ostrich adventure. Ostriches in
the Western Cape are big business. The birds are farmed for their feathers,
skin and lean meat, which is exported all over the world, while their eggs are
used for decorative purposes. Ostrich farms also attract tourists to the area,
anchoring an industry and providing employment.
Where
better to get sporty? We’ve got fabulous weather almost all year round,
historic playing fields and state-of-the-art new stadiums. We’re pros at BIG
sporting events. The crowds are passionate and the atmosphere’s electric. Sport
and South Africa are intricately intertwined. In our country, sport is
something of a religion, and no matter what our differences are, we all worship
at the sporting
altar.
