It has to be stated that SA is one of the very best countries for outstanding holidays and tours. This country is one of the most vibrant and varied as far as its people and the numerous different cultures are concerned. Keep reading to find out about some of the fantastic things you can experience in South Africa if you are thinking about adding a tour to your holiday schedule.
It is thought to be one of the most beautiful locations on earth because of the way the land transforms itself every season. In spring the land goes from a dry, barren wasteland to a wonderland of color with exquisite wild flowers that blanket the once bland landscape.
For the history buffs, why not visit the KwaZulu-Natal Battlefields. A great deal of South African history was written on these fields with the war of the British, the Boers and the Zulu. A few of the bloodiest skirmishes raged on this land such as the battle of Islandwana and Rorke's Drift, which spawned the timeless film called "Zulu" in 1964. This beautiful stretch of land is soaked in the blood, heart, courage and secrets of the old days, when "moving house" meant moving everything you owned in a covered wagon over treacherous country.
Still, for those who love history and the wilderness, is the Drakensberg Mountains. Drakensberg means Dragon Mountain in Afrikaans. The Drakensberg is the Wild West of South Africa and is a lovely, wild place.
A South African tours style holiday cannot be complete without experiencing the Cape Winelands. For all wine fans on vacation in South Africa, this is a must! A few of the very best towns to visit are Stellenbosch, Franschoek, Paarl and Durbanville Hills. Wine tours and wine festivals are run at some of the finest of the Capes wine estates, depending on the time of year, and offer some of the most beautiful farmlands around. Some even have tiny farm house bistro's on the property, and even actually actually the tables set up in the vineyards, among the grape vines. Once you have enjoyed your scrumptious lunch, you can buy wine straight from the farm stall you are lunching at. It really is an experience well worth the journey!
So in a nutshell, choosing to go the tour group way of holidaying can be just as satisfying and satisfying as deciding on a self drive holiday. The upside to a tour is that you don't require GPS or maps to get around as the guide will know where to go and how to get there. It's different, and just as enjoyable, so give it some thought.
