South Africa Guide

A holiday to South Africa opens up a diverse and cultural world with many different places to discover. With cities like Cape Town, Johannesburg and Pretoria providing a cosmopolitan backdrop for your holiday you can enjoy great shopping and lively nightlife.

If you want to see wildlife then a safari in South Africa won't disappoint and with hot air balloon rides and air tour rides over dramatic landscapes this is bound to be holiday you won't forget. If you are looking for a beach holiday the South African coastline on the Indian Ocean has lovely warm waters for scuba diving and snorkelling as well as catching sight of dolphins and whales.

There is not really a bad time to travel to South Africa but depending on what you want to do when you get there some seasons may be better than others. The best time for a safari is during June to September as the dry season sees wildlife clustered at watering holes and rivers. A city break to Cape Town is best enjoyed during November to March as the overly hot summer weather has cooled to more pleasant temperatures and makes exploring this great city a lot easier.

When choosing the best place to stay De Waterkant Village in Cape Town has great character with quaint cobbled streets lined with colourful cottages. The one and two bedroom apartments and houses have everything you need and the shops, bars and restaurants are just a short walk away.
