Everyone tries to get the most from his/hers holiday because this is prime time spend. No wonder that one will always here the remark:"My holiday was too short!" The problem that most tourists make is inadequate planning because the holiday mood is so overwhelming, that they forget that a holiday is only 2 weeks or a month long and that they are trying to cram everything in this short time.
One can actually visit double the places if your pre-planning was done in advance. If you had pre-knowledge of places to visit and things to do--being specific--- so much more can be achieved.
In planning for your visit to South Africa, you must think, and know, the places that you want to visit, bearing in mind that transport facilities are NOT what people are used to in America, Europe and Australia and this must form part of your planning.
Here is a summary of places and what to expect in each area:
1. Johannesburg--mainly museums, zoos(big five), casinos, no real scenery.
2. Pretoria--Some scenery, monuments, zoo (big five). Within reach of Pretoria--Lowveld BEST SCENERY EVER!Names like God's Window etc. Numerous hot spas.
3. Kwazulu---Coastal, nice and hot. Drakensberg---fascinating scenery.
4. Eastern Cape--Coastal as well as maybe world-best scenery.
5. Western Cape--Cape Town--who does not know beautiful this place is with beaches, mountains, vineards, hot springs etc.
6. Freestate--Flat except for few areas like Golden Gate.
7. Northern Provice---A little bit of everything except beaches.
This article attempts to give an overall picture of what to expect and what to consider when still in the planning stages of your holiday to South Africa which might change your accommodation venue.
Hi, I am Chris. I have been living in South Africa for all my life -64 years and have been following the politics and news daily. I am a Pacifist, fullstop.
I have experienced the many facets of this country -some which are being portrayed in my website

I always feel that a miners world and a South African's world is totally removed from those of other jobs or nations and that people should get insight into these worlds.
