Come to South Africa and do it all

July 26, 2011 1 comment

South Africa has a thriving tourism industry and it’s no wonder because the country has an enormous variety of things to see and do. From 5-star seaside accommodation to rugged safaris and mountain resorts South Africa has it all.

When it comes to luxury accommodation it’s hard to top the One&Only at Cape Town’s Waterfront. The One&Only is probably the most luxurious hotel in South Africa bar none. It boasts an idyllic spa and some of South Africa’s most acclaimed restaurants, including Nobu, which is run by Nobuyuki “Nobu” Matsuhisa. Matsuhisa has the distinction of being one of a few Michelin-starred chefs in the country.

When comes to fine dining, however, Nobu is topped by Rust en Vrede Estate in Stellenbosch, which won the Restaurant of the Year award from Eat Out, South Africa’s premier restaurant guide.

Of course when it comes to safaris, the Kruger National Park is at the top of the list. South Africa has a number of game reserves and national parks, but the Kruger Park is not only the biggest, it also offers the widest range of accommodation, safaris and related activities.

South Africa is a relatively big country and its attractions are spread out from north to south, east and west. You can minimise the distances and travel South Africa by train. The Blue Train is arguably the most luxurious train in South Africa. The train travels from Pretoria to Cape Town with a stopover in Kimberley, and from Cape Town to Pretoria with a stopover in Matjiesfontein, giving you a peak into small town living in South Africa. It boasts de luxe suites, a wood-panelled lounge and club car, fine dining, and a jewellery boutique.

You can book a range of holidays in South Africa, from package tours that include safaris, seaside attractions and a bit of mountaineering to private deals that allow you to set the pace.

South Africa has what ever you want from your holiday destination, and more.
