South Africa is a huge country, with lots to see and do there, and it geographically it is stunning. Dramatic mountain ranges, lush African Savannah's, game parks that leave others standing and a difficult political history with a fascinating and unbelievable freedom struggle. Due to the size of the country your trip will require some planning, after all to see it all you will need to cover several thousand miles. If this sounds daunting it needn´t be, there are a couple of excellent options to get you round the whole country, and you will experience plenty enroute. One great way of seeing the country on a South Africa gap year is to take The South Africa Overland Tour, which will take care of all the logistics, leaving you time to enjoy sitting back and taking in the experience. Another great tip is to take in the Kruger National part and see it from above by doing some micro lighting. However you get about, you will be sure to experience unbelievable hospitality, exciting cultures from different tribes inhabiting different regions, wild life, sports and much much more. |
