South Africa - Holiday Packages and Tours
Into the Wild : Discover the Beauty and Mystique of South Africa. Renowned for its delectable wines, large production of gold, and plenty of national parks, South Africa provides people from all over the world plenty of reasons to travel and spend a holiday in the southern tip of Africa.
Bordered on three sides by the Indian Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, and 3000 kilometers of coastline, it has a mix of sea, sand, and sun in great exaggeration.
Home to plenty of national parks that provide shelter for a wide array of flora and fauna and protected wildlife, South Africa can be considered the largest zoo in the world, or most likely to be the one zoo that will put the rest to shame.
The Kruger National Park, for one, is a favorite tourist destination that houses a wide range of species rarely found in other parts of the world, at least not in huge numbers. A vacation in South Africa is just incomplete without checking out one or two of the National Parks.
Since the country has more to offer than parks, private reserves and farms, expect an abundance of sightseeing & activities.
