From safaris to wineries, shark cage diving to penguin spotting, vibrant cities to diverse wildlife, there are so many things to do in South Africa. This magical country is perfect for a true African adventure. No matter where you visit in South Africa, its raw natural beauty is there to impress you.

Cape Town is a gorgeous city as it offers something for everyone. Some of the best things to do in Cape Town are hiking Table Mountain, driving to Cape Point, visiting Robben Island, touring Kirstenbosch Gardens, exploring Muizenberg Beach, hiking Lion’s Head, and strolling Bo-Kaap.

Wildlife lovers should take a trip to Kruger National Park in South Africa. This park is quite popular and busy for a good reason. The chances to see the “Big Five” are high, along with other animals at Kruger National Park.

South Africa is home to an endless, gorgeous coastline that should be explored. Take a road trip along with the breathtaking Garden Route on the Southeast coast. You will be cruising by charming towns, stunning beaches, beautiful wineries, dramatic cliffs, and hills.

Discover other cities in South Africa, such as Durban and Johannesburg. While Durban is famous for its gorgeous waterfront and surfing, Johannesburg is great for experiencing art galleries, museums, and nightlife.

South Africa’s KwaZulu-Natal province should be on everyone’s itinerary. Make sure to explore iSimangaliso Wetland Park, visit the Drakensberg, and go on a safari at Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park.

If you are a big fan of safari, you should continue visiting other parks in South Africa. Pilanesberg National Park, Umfolozi National Park, Nambiti Private Game Reserve, the Madikwe Game Reserve, Pilanesberg Game Reserve, and the Dinokeng Game Reserve are worth checking out.
