A luxury holiday to South Africa

South Africa is known as the ?rainbow nation?; very few other locations can boast the geographical diversity, historical vibrancy and remarkable culture that South Africa has to offer. In a fairly recent survey, South Africa has been acclaimed the travellers choice destination for 2011 by tipadvisor.com, this review has given South Africa its crown for what many of us already appreciate and regard so highly. South Africa holidays guarantee more than a holiday, they promise a new perspective.

South Africa has well over twenty one national parks, eight world heritage sites and over 3,000 kilometres of unspoiled coastline, and incredible adrenaline adventures on offer ranging from swimming with sharks to surfing, wine tasting to historic trails.

A primary stop for many travellers is the capital city of Cape Town; which is the most visited city throughout the entire African continent. Cape Town is a city with an assorted array of attractions, sights and activates. From iconic beaches of Clifton and Campus Bay to the energetic waterfront and Cape Town city centre, your time spent in Cape Town will not be forgotten.

After visiting Cape Town, head out to the Winelands and sample some of South Africa?s aromatic, crisp, red and white wines for which the country has become famous for. Located to the east of Cape Town, it is home to the world?s longest wine routes, running from Cape Town right the way to Port Elizabeth approximately 850 kilometres along the eastern coast. If you don?t have that much time to visit the entire Winelands, then perhaps consider a trip to the wine growing areas of Wellington, Ceres, Worcester or Paarl.

Another place no South African holiday should do without is a trip to Durban. There is nowhere else in the world where you will encounter so many different cultures, your every need as a visitor is catered for. Those who visit Durban are rewarded with pristine beaches, immaculate golf courses, nature reserves and parks.

South Africa offers some of the finest safaris in the world having the world?s largest wildlife and game reserves, and is one of the main reasons that tourists travel to the country. I can think of nothing more enchanting than observing some of the world?s most iconic wildlife in their natural habitat surrounded by South Africa?s breath taking scenery, this is for many the culmination of years spent wishing and dreaming of being on safari in South Africa. South Africa?s most famous and largest safari park is the Kruger National Park; it boasts an incredible array of bird and animals species, which include the infamous big five (buffalos, rhinos, elephants, lions and leopards).

Wherever and whatever you decide to do in South Africa and however you get there, either self drive, luxury train or a domestic airline, a world of natural wonder, passion and colour await you. South Africa will always be one of my most favourite places to visit on earth and is somewhere that is very close to my heart.
