Things to know before your South Africa trip
What does a trip to South Africa look like?−
A typical South Africa trip includes time in Cape Town, where you can ride the cable car up Table Mountain or wander the colorful Bo-Kaap. Safari lovers usually head to Kruger National Park to spot the Big Five. Road-trippers follow the scenic Garden Route, while Johannesburg adds a powerful dose of history and culture.
Want something less polished? Hike in the Drakensberg, surf along the Wild Coast, stargaze in the Karoo, or rock climb in the Cederberg. Every South Africa itinerary is flexible, built around what you want to see and do.
