South Africa: A Feast Of Sightseeing
South Africa, as anyone who is familiar with the country can tell you
, is a place where natural and man-made beauty can be found side by side. The country beckons tourists with all of the spectacular landscapes and culture that a visitor could ever want.Located at the southern tip of the continent between the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, South Africa boasts nearly 2,800 kilometers of coastline with beautiful, unspoiled beaches and sparkling blue waters.
The country has a surprising variety of terrain for an area of its size, offering deserts, mountains, coastal plain and lush greenery. This varied landscape makes the country home to an enormous amount of flora and fauna; and South Africa has many national parks which are must-visit destinations for any traveler hoping to get a glimpse of Africa's natural beauty.
South Africa offers elements of African and European culture, spectacular views of nature and plenty of activities and attractions which make this a country everyone should visit.
You'll find luxury accommodations and shopping here which are some of the world's greatest and people whose hospitality is legendary. You're not limited for choices either in places to visit or places to stay. From five star luxury hotels to lodge accommodation in the country close to national parks, it's all here.
While many may think of lodge accommodation as something which is lacking in comfort, it's not at all the case. There are quite a few South African lodges which fall squarely into the category of luxury accommodation and include all of the comforts you'd expect from a hotel. Many tourists decide for luxury accommodation when visiting the country since many of these lodgings are mere blocks from many of the country's most popular attractions.
Sun City is another place which you really must include on your itinerary when you're in South Africa. This world famous resort offers an enormous variety of entertainment and opportunities to relax. While the gaming is what it may be best known for, it's also a great place for golfing, outdoor activities and of course, just relaxing. Cape Town is another South African tourist destination which is not to be missed.
Located near the beautiful coastline of the cape, some of South Africa's best known vineyards and of course, the Table Mountains, there's a lot to see here in the Western Cape.
Another place which needs to be on your list is Cape Town. Located in South Africa's Western Cape region, it's located within proximity to some of the country's most famous wine regions, the Table Mountains and of course, the coastline.
Another coastal region which deserves to be on your list is The Garden Route. Here you'll see nearly all of the different landscapes that South Africa has to offer: marshes, mountains, lakes, rivers, forests and of course, the beauty of the coastline itself. There's an unmatched variety of plant and animal life where which you won't see all in one place anywhere else.
There is no other country on Earth quite like South Africa and if you haven't seen it for yourself yet, you're missing an experience of a lifetime. It's a destination you'll want to set your sights on for your next vacation - and many others to follow.
