For some people planning to visit South Africa the idea of a safari holiday is not on their to do list. There may be a number of reasons for this such as cost or just the desire to try something new and although going on safari is an amazing experience South Africa has far more to offer the avid traveller.

South African beaches are some of the most beautiful in the world with Cape Town home to one of the top beaches namely Camps Bay. The bay is surrounded by vibrant bars and restaurants and its magnificent sandy beach is popular with tourists from all over the world.

If exploring the cultural heritage of your holiday location is your idea of a great holiday a visit to one of the eight world heritage sites found in South Africa and known as the Cradle of Humanity is a must. There visitors can explore the limestone cave systems where prehistoric fossils have been found.

South African wines are extremely popular and so a stay on one of the extensive wineries with the opportunity to sample a selection of wines is another idea for a different type of holiday in fact many travellers embark on a wine tour so that they get to visit up to ten different wineries during their stay in South Africa.
