Best Six Places to Visit in South Africa in 2024

When we think about the top places to visit in South Africa, the first thing that comes to mind is the amazing wildlife and safari tours. You can see the famous Big Five animals, like lions and elephants, and stay in fancy safari camps out in nature.

But South Africa has a lot more to offer than just wildlife. It’s a popular holiday spot for couples and families because it has a bit of everything. Whether you’re into nature, adventure, or just relaxing, South Africa has something for you. Here are some of the top places to visit in South Africa that you should consider adding to your travel plans.

Beautiful beach of Cape Town

Cape Town is one of the biggest attractions in South Africa. It’s famous for its beautiful coastline, old streets, and vineyards. Surrounded by stunning mountains and other tourist spots like the Garden Route cities, it’s a great place for both adventure and relaxation. Cape Town has lots of unique tours and activities that you can’t experience anywhere else in Southern Africa, making it a top spot for tourists.

Travel Tip – One of the best things to experience is riding the cable car up to Table Mountain. It’s something you just have to do if you’re in the city. The views from the top are amazing, and it’s really exciting to be so high up in the clouds. And, if you are looking for cheap flights to South Africa , we recommend you book  atleast 3 to 4 months in advance to grab the lowest airfares. 

Johannesburg

City view of Johannesburg

Your South Africa itinerary must include Johannesburg. It is South Africa’s biggest city, with the most people living there. It’s nicknamed the “City of Gold” because it began as a place for mining gold. Some cool places to check out in this city are the Apartheid Museum, Constitution Hill, and Gold Reef City. When you’re in Johannesburg, you can’t miss visiting Soweto, where Nelson Mandela was born. Also, there’s the Satyagraha House, where Mahatma Gandhi lived during his time in South Africa. Nowadays, it’s a guest house you can stay at.

Travel Tip – Think about visiting Johannesburg during the cooler months, from March to November, to avoid big crowds and expensive prices. Hotels in South Africa and car rentals are usually cheaper during this time. Also, airlines often have lower prices for flights during the offseason.

Mossel Bay, a harbor town in South Africa

Mossel Bay is one of the preferred tourist attractions in South Africa. It is known for having some of the greatest beaches in South Africa, with Santo Beach being the most famous. While you’re there, you can try exciting water sports, go skydiving, or even do shark cage diving. Don’t miss out on visiting the Bartholomeu Dias Museum and the Post Office Tree. The Post Office Tree, located at the museum complex, is nearly 600 years old and is said to be South Africa’s first mailbox. Other popular places to visit in Mossel Bay include the Cape St. Blaize Lighthouse Complex, Garden Route Casino, and the Point of Human Origin.

Travel Tip – Go wine tasting at Jakkalsvlei, do ziplining, sandboarding, hiking, and climb to the top of the Cape St. Blaize Lighthouse.

Kruger National Park

Kruger National Park is among South Africa’s must-see places. It’s home to Africa’s famous Big Five animals: buffalo, lions, rhinos, elephants, and leopards. In total, Kruger has 145 different types of mammals, 335 types of trees, 110 reptile species, and 30 amphibian species. Visitors can go on game drives to see these amazing animals up close. There are also fancy hotels and safari camps in Kruger where you can stay. Surrounded by the beautiful Panorama Route, Kruger is the perfect place to explore the wild side of South Africa during your trip.

Travel Tip – When you visit Kruger National Park, combine your visit with the nearby Blyde River Canyon and Panaroma Route. You can also look out for tailor-made South Africa tour packages where you can explore the stunning landscapes and encounter breathtaking views and natural wonders of SA.

Garden Route

Sunflowers in the background

The Garden Route is a stunning stretch of coastline in South Africa, running for 200 kilometers from Mossel Bay to Storms River. Along the way, you’ll see the best of South Africa, with amazing views of the ocean, rolling hills, coastal towns, lagoons, and cliffs. There are some key places you shouldn’t miss on your journey, like Knysna, surrounded by forests and a lagoon, and the Garden Route National Park, where you can explore gorges and tidal pools. Then there’s Oudtshoorn, famous for its ostrich farms and the impressive Cango Caves. Don’t forget to visit Plettenberg Bay’s Robberg Nature Reserve, where you can see a colony of seals.

Travel Tip – During South Africa’s long December and January summer holidays, this stretch of coastline gets really crowded, especially around Plettenberg Bay. If you’re looking for a lively party atmosphere, then this is the perfect time to visit. However, if you prefer to avoid big crowds, it’s probably best to avoid traveling during these peak-season months.

Port Elizabeth

Port Elizabeth is a city in the Eastern Cape Province, right by the Baakens River. The beaches here are some of the cleanest and nicest in South Africa. You can take a dip in the water at Wells Estate Bridge, Humewood Beach, or Kings Beach. If you’re into animals, you should check out Addo Elephant National Park, Cape Recife Nature Reserve, and Kragga Kamma Game Reserve. Port Elizabeth is also known for its parks. The most famous one is St. George’s Park. Other cool places to visit include the Donkin Reserve, Route 67, Storms River Bridge, and the Boardwalk.

Travel Tip – You can see whales from August to September. Take a boat trip to spot some common ones like Bryde whales, southern right whales, humpback whales, and minke whales.

South Africa is a beautiful country filled with stunning landscapes, diverse cultures, vibrant art, and untamed wilderness.
