If you are planning a memorable holiday to South Africa do not assume that taking a safari is the only option open to you. Although going on safari is an incredible experience South Africa has much more to offer the adventurous holiday maker.

An example of this is found near Cape Town where the Table Mountain National Park is located, a significant tourist attraction, giving visitors the opportunity to either hike to the top or take the scenic cable car if hiking is not for you. At the peak, the views of Cape Town and the Atlantic seaboard to the south and west are breath-taking.

Many visitors to South Africa are eager to see the abundant wildlife which is mostly found in the magnificent National parks. One of the best is Amboseli National park in Kenya where there are five different habitats ranging from dry and dusty salt beds to wetlands. Hundreds of species of birds can be seen here including pelicans, but the top attraction of this amazing place is the chance to see the impressive African bush elephants in the wild. Whilst visiting the Amboseli National park, Mount Kilimanjaro the highest mountain in the world can also be seen an experience not to be missed.
