South Africa has become increasingly popular in recent years. People are craving the opportunity to have unique experiences and desire to venture to places they have never been before. While countries like Europe, South America, and Asia remain high on their bucket lists, adding another country like South Africa only makes the overall travel itinerary even more exciting!


According to its landmass, South Africa is the 9th largest in the country of Africa. The reasons for visiting this vast and culturally diverse nation are seemingly endless, and that's why it makes it on so many people's bucket lists. To encourage you a little more and to further enhance your excitement, here are five reasons you should make it to South Africa at least once in your life:


1. Cape Town. As one of South Africa's three capitals, the Mother City is one that you must explore. Not only is it one of the top holiday destinations in the entire world, but it's full of natural, exotic beauty that you can't find anywhere else! There's excellent food, plenty of beaches, and, last but not least, Table Mountain.

2. The Garden Route. Take the Garden Route from Mossel Bay to Storms River for some of the most breathtaking coastline views. Visit and view small towns, rugged shores, sandy beaches, and thick forests.

3. Go on a safari at Kruger National Park. It may not be the only place to go for a safari adventure in South Africa, but it is undoubtedly one of the greatest. On the safari, you'll get to witness and interact with the 'Big Five' of Africa's most significant wild animals: lions, rhinos, elephants, buffalos, and leopards.


4. Family Safaris. If you have decided to bring the children along on your once-in-a-lifetime, memorable South Africa vacation, make sure to go on several family-friendly safaris. Many safari tours will offer youth programs, age-appropriate, hands-on activities, and playgrounds.

5. It's easy to navigate and explore nearby destinations. South Africa makes it easy to get around with its well-established and maintained road network and infrastructure. You can also drive there with a foreign license as long as it includes your photograph. There are also several main international airports so that you can fly into any of the nation's major cities.


Of course, the list of reasons to visit South Africa doesn't end here. It would be too hard to name them all! Nonetheless, there are endless reasons one should make it a point to visit the country. So, if you just added or have had South Africa on your life itinerary and have more questions, let's have a quick chat. You can schedule a one-on-one with me by clicking here!
