One must visit South Africa, the Rainbow Nation
South Africa: A Dream Destination in Africa "At the southern tip of Africa, where mountains embrace the ocean and wildlife roams freely in the wild, this is the most generous gift from the Creator." This is how "God Must Be Crazy" depicted South Africa. As a dream travel destination in Africa, I highly recommend visiting South Africa at least once! If you want to see whales breaching, visit Hermanus from June to November; if you want to see the city covered in purple jacaranda flowers, visit Pretoria in October; if you want to see the Big Five, any time is a good season for a safari. Best Travel Seasons in South Africa November to February (High Season): The height of summer in the Southern Hemisphere, perfect for Cape Town beaches and a self-drive along the Garden Route. May to August (Low Season): Cool climate and lower prices. The West Coast's wildflowers are in full bloom, and wildlife in Kruger National Park is more active. September to October (Shoulder Season): Spring flower fields, the end of whale-watching season, and the grape harvest. Seven Must-Visit Spots šCape Town: Take the 360° rotating cable car to the top of Table Mountain and watch the sunset over the Atlantic Ocean from Signal Hill. šCape of Good Hope: Stand at the southernmost point of Africa and feel the confluence of the Indian and Atlantic Oceans. šGarden Route: One of the most beautiful coastal drives in the world, stretching 300 kilometers from Mossel Bay to Storms River. šKruger National Park: Africa's largest wildlife reserve, where you can track the Big Five in open-jeep safaris. šHermanus (September to November): One of the best land-based whale-watching spots in the world, where you can see southern right whale mothers with their calves. šNamaqualand (August to September): The desert transforms into a carpet of flowers, with over 4,000 plant species in bloom. šSun City: Experience the Palace of the Lost City, the earthquake bridge, and an artificial beach, Africa's version of Las Vegas. Breaking Stereotypes Q&A ā South Africa is too far? āIt takes about 15 hours to fly from China to Johannesburg, but the landscapes across half the globe are absolutely worth the ticket price. ā South Africa is unsafe? ā Choose reputable travel agencies and follow local guidelines. National parks and tourist areas are very safe, even more so than some European cities. ā Expensive? š°In the low season, a ten-day stay in a five-star luxury camp costs around 10,000 RMB, similar to European prices but at a fraction of the cost. ā Language barrier? š£English is spoken nationwide, and most tourist attractions have Chinese audio guides. Locals are friendly to tourists. ā Unfamiliar food? š·From Michelin-starred restaurants to open-air barbecues, abalone and lobster meals average around 200 RMB, with 14 wine regions to explore. ā Only about animals? šActivities include helicopter rides over Table Mountain, speeding along Chapman's Peak Drive, cage diving with great white sharks, and horseback grape picking at wineries.
