Tips for South Africa
Table Mountain is less busy in the afternoon.
Flight to the Garden Route
In the past there were flights only to Port Elizabeth, which many find less attractive. Today there are also flights to George at good rates. It is
Cape of Good Hope and the Penguins
Our recommendation is to do the route clockwise as the penguin reserve is less crowded in the mornings, and the sunset at Chapman Peak Drive on the way back to Cape Town shouldn't be missed.
Car Rental
Many travelers receive traffic fines. A fee from the car rental company is added to the ticket.
South Africa is one of the most popular holiday destinations in Africa, with almost 10 million people visiting each year.
With its golden sandy beaches, picturesque mountains, vast national parks and vibrant cultural mosaic, it is not hard to understand why South Africa is a popular holiday destination among people from all over the world and on every budget.
The most popular attractions in South Africa are its national parks, with nineteen parks covering landscapes and wildlife in an amazing variety. From the savannah that stretches to the horizon of Kruger Park to arid deserts, clear peaks and spectacular coastlines, the parks of South Africa cover the widest range and ensure enjoyment for every hiker.
Tips for family travel in South Africa
1. Aim at changing fewer accommodations and rather do day trips from one place.
2. If possible, avoid long trips. Sometimes it is better to take domestic flights. Check nearby airports.
3. Book attractions in advance with free cancellation, but try not to aim at more than one activity per day.
4. Book in advance a guided walking tour of Cape Town of up to 4 hours.
5. The Winelands is not only for wine lovers. This is one of the most beautiful areas in South Africa with hiking and biking trails, crocodile farms, fine food and family-oriented wine farms.
6. Check the cost of WildCard. For families with children over the age of 12 it is often worthwhile, especially if you visit Kroger.
7. Consult us regarding the options for Safari. Even if you received a warm recommendation for a certain reserve, check if the season is ideal, if it is suitable for children, if it is the best value for the price and if the trip is worthwhile. In addition, check with us about discounts and preferred payment terms.
8. Choose a spacious vehicle. The difference in price is usually not large.
9. Make bookings in restaurants in advance. In South Africa you wake up early and go to bed early. You may be surprised to see restaurants that close at 21:00
10. The supermarkets will pleasantly surprise you, especially the Woolworth chain. We recommend that families stock up on South Africa's excellent fruits and vegetables, biltong (South African dried meat) and rusk (South African cookies) upon landing. In South Africa there is a high awareness of vegetarianism and gluten sensitivity.
11. Choose places to stay in pleasant and safe areas. Consult before, especially in Cape Town. The Waterfront in Cape Town, for example, is a pleasant and secure area.
12. Do not feed the baboons. In areas where they are found, avoid eating near them as they may be aggressive.
13. Don't get help from anyone at the ATM and you don't go to the ATM with anyone.
14. Many travelers recommend a visit to Jeffreys Bay and the clothing factory stores, but in our opinion it is often an unnecessary trip and the prices do not justify it.
