There are so many beautiful destinations with different tourist attractions, but South Africa is just one of those beautiful countries we think you should visit in 2020.
South Africa
With incredibly beautiful landscapes, stunning views, breathtaking adventures, and jaw-dropping expeditions, South Africa is a beautiful destination.
It is a different kind of paradise, and it is full of very many pleasant surprises. It is practically impossible to perfectly capture the beauty of South Africa in black and white. From the north to the south and across the entire breadth, every South African city or province has more than enough attractions to quench the thirst of even the most discerning tourists.
Gauteng
In the Gauteng Province, you’ll explore Sterkfontein Caves located in the Cradle of Humankind in Magaliesburg. The tour will take you deep down into the caves, negotiating through dark and tight pathways, until you get to The Millner Hall. The sheer size and depth of the Sterkfontein Caves is intimidating, to say the least. From the Sterkfontein Caves, you should visit the Maropeng Museum, a world-class exhibition site still within the Cradle of Humankind. Here, you’ll take an indoor, but incredible boat ride through the four life-giving elements of Fire, Water, Earth, and Air.
Lesedi Cultural Village
If you want to experience rich and unadulterated African culture first hand, head to the Lesedi Cultural Village set amongst rocky hills and bushveld. Lesedi Cultural Village reproduces the original South African traditional homes and customs in 5 traditional sub villages: Xhosa, Zulu, Pedi, Basotho, and Ndebele. In Ingoma, you’ll watch and listen to fascinating stories of Southern Africa beautifully told by the people of Lesedi using traditional music and dances.
Mpumalanga
Ever thought of taking to the skies in a microlight? You’ll get to experience that in Mpumalanga where you can also take a ride on the longest aerial cable trail in the province; and If you’ve got some adrenaline, an incredible adventure awaits you at the Ama Zwing Zwing Ziplines in the picturesque Magaliesburg Mountains. You can also head to Limpopo Province and experience the thrill of sliding through the forest while absorbing the tranquility of your natural surroundings.
Western Cape Province
A visit to the Western Cape Province is a must. Here, you’ll, among many other things, explore the magnificent Table Mountain and experience the intrigues of Nature’s Seventh Wonder. The ride to the top is thrilling, it is adrenaline-pumping and it is breathtaking. The view from the top is even more so, it is extremely panoramic and sensationally scenic. And if you can, take a tour of the Franschhoek Winelands and explore some of South Africa’s oldest and most distinguished vineyards and wine estates. You can even taste several kinds of wine while you’re at it.
With good weather all year round, South Africa is one of those countries you want to visit again and again. One visit is never enough. The fun is endless. Whether it’s the rhythms of Johannesburg, the charms of Cape Town, the beaches of Durban, the magic of Mpumalanga, or the sounds of Kwazulu Natal, you’ll definitely be excited beyond your wildest imaginations. So, even if it’s only one African country you can visit in 2020, let it be South Africa, so you can have the best times of your life.
