Incredible South Africa
South Africa is the southernmost country in Africa and one of the continent’s best safari destinations where you can see the Big Five – lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant and rhino. The picturesque country offers a variety of adventure sports to indulge in, amidst nature and wilderness. The climatic conditions in South Africa range from Mediterranean to temperate and subtropical. Most of the country boasts of warm, sunny days and cool nights.
Go for a nature walk in the wild Kruger, Kgalagadi and other parks. Try your endurance at rock climbing in the craggy Cederberg. Enjoy the sun and sand surfing off the Eastern Cape coast. Become a daredevil and bungee jump from the Garden Route’s Bloukrans Bridge. A trip to South Africa can never be boring!
It is probably the only country to have three capitals. It is one of the few countries in the world to divide its governmental powers among three of its major cities. Pretoria is the administrative capital, Cape Town is the legislative capital, and Bloemfontein is the judicial capital. Do not miss the chance to travel 70 km away from Cape Town to visit the Cape of Good Hope in the South Atlantic Ocean. Another breathtaking sight to behold is the Hermanus’ Hemel-en-Aarde (Heaven on Earth) valley with boutique wineries.
Even though South Africa is an ultimate year-round destination, the best months are May to October when the days are clear and warm, with colder nights. The currency is the South African Rand (ZAR or R) which equals INR 5-6(fluctuates).
