My Country...SOUTH AFRICA

by nora_south_africa - last update: May 15, 2009

My Country South Africa

Please make your visit to South Africa as long as you can , its a big country with lots to see,and so many people have been really sorry that they didnt plan a longer trip. This picture was taken in the Kruger National Park. Its an amazing experince to see animals roaming around free.
As I am a budget traveller I want to also give some BUDGET tips on my pages where possible. I am trying to make my tips practical and useful..
KZN south coast

Lots of budget options.....

We also have lots of budget options, many backpackers hostels or lodges, and camping can be a cheaper option in summer months,bring your 2 man tent or buy a cheap one here, and rent a car to see small coastal villages, if you not renting a car then bus travel from big city to big city is an option.some of the smaller towns have cheaper B&B options.
PLEASE NOTE THIS TIP ... TO SUPPORT SMALLER VILLAGES WILL HELP THEM AND GIVE YOU A MUCH CHEAPER OPTION. OFTEN YOU WILL ALSO GET A MORE LOCAL FEEL. Maybe not so much luxury but will certanly save lots on your pocket.

South Africa

Sooouth Africa is a beautiful country, please come and visit our country, crime can be a problem but be careful and lock up!! its really worth a visit, our Game reserves are amazing!!! to see the BIG 5 close up is an amazing experience, Sun City is a must see, and Pileanesberg game reserve is next to Sun City, malaria free and the Manyane Camp also has tent or camper camping. Cape Town is one of the most Beautiful cities, please add it to your list, then take a tour along Garden route...try driving in to see some coastal towns, Hermanus,Witsand(whale watching ), Stilbaai&Jongensfontein,Gouritsmond,Victoria bay,
More and more international visitors are visiting our country and most of them seem to love it...
More and more are buying holiday homes here, for a lot of countries its cheap to buy a house here, if you come from USA or Europe you can buy luxury homes here much cheaper than in your country! so come and enjoy our sunshine...
Our coastline is stunningly beautiful- west coast and part of south ( cold water) from Hermanus up to east coast water starts to get warmer...
We have everything!!! beautiful beaches, Wildlife, budget, luxury,winelands, adventure sport, shark diving in cages, crocodile diving in cages,Sun City is Magnificent! ( casino), friendly people!! I have travel a lot in my country so am trying to make as many as possible VT pages of all the small towns.. please visit my pages...So many say South Africa is expensive.... well there are cheaper options, I am trying to add cheaper accomm options to my pages. I cant even afford the expensive places and med price range still gives good clean places.
