Holiday in South Africa

Sat, 18 Feb 2012 06:55:24 -0600

I met a European couple the guy from the Netherlands and thegirl from UK in Australia a couple of years ago. They are nowplanning to come visit South Africa later this year and Ithought it may be useful for European travellers to hear a SouthAfrican's opinion of a holiday in South Africa.Firstly you need to understand that I'm an outdoor man. AlthoughI live in a city, everything I do for pleasure will be to getaway from city life. While in Australia, I read somewhere that'If you can't get lucky in Darwin, you should stop trying'. Soif you're looking for big, busy cities to party, don't follow myadvice and if you want to get lucky, go to Darwin.I believe anybody coming to visit South Africa should try tospend a couple of days in Knysna and the Drakensberg. Althoughthere are many other places worth visiting, these two are myfavourites.Most international flights in South Africa arrive or depart inJohannesburg or Cape Town and I would recommend you arriving inCape Town ...
