My husband and I just recently returned from honeymoon in South Africa, we visited Cape Town, a game reserve on the Eastern Cape, the Garden Route and a few days of relaxation in the wine valley of Franschhoek.
Here are five reasons why you may want to consider South Africa for your honeymoon or vacation.
1. Amazing Wildlife - South Africa has absolutely amazing wildlife. You can see the big five - lions, elephants, buffalo, leopard and rhino, plus many other animals such as zebra, giraffe, impala, kudo and wildebeest, .You may have seen these animals in a zoo before, but this is nothing compared to seeing them wander around in their own natural habitat. South Africa has a huge choice of game reserves from the massive Kruger national park, to the smaller malaria free game reserves on the Eastern Cape. In addition to seeing all these animals on dry land, South Africa is one of the best places for spotting whales, dolphins, sharks and even penguins. Hermanus, a town on the garden route, is one of the top land based whale spotting locations on earth.
2. First Class Accommodation - you can find a wide range of accommodation all over South Africa suitable for any budget. If you are on your honeymoon and looking for something luxurious you will have no problem finding it. There are a lot of privately run luxurious guest houses in South Africa, with friendly owners who take pride in the service they give to their guests. The accommodation is also very decently priced and you will get more for your money than you would in most European accommodation.
3. Fabulous Food - Dining out in South Africa is memorable experience. If you love meat you will be spoilt for choice with excellent steaks or game meat such as kudo, springbok and ostrich. if you are a fish lover there is an abundance of fresh seafood to try and if you like fine dining then a visit to Franschhoek with its large share of the top ten restaurants in South Africa is a must.
4. Wine - If you'd like to try a Pinotage, a Sauvignon Blanc, or perhaps a Cap Classique style sparkling wine then be sure to pay a visit to one of South Africa's wine regions. Stellenbosch and Franschhoek are both fabulous places to spend a few days wine tasting and you will find a huge variety of vineyards with a large selection of wines to try. The scenery in this area is also beautiful and surrounded by mountains, rolling hills, vines and flowers .
5. Culture - South Africa has a colourful history and culture. There are a large number of museums to visit, including the famous Robben Island where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned and Cape Town's District Six museum, documenting the memories of the former residents of district six. The people in South Africa are also extremely friendly and will make you feel very welcome.
