Why You Should Visit South Africa in 2024- An Adventure of a Lifetime

This is how a beautiful day in South Africa feels: you wake up to a beam of bright light warming up your face, stretch out to sip fine wine and take in the breathtaking views of the highlands. That gasp of fresh scenery is everything you need to feel alive again.

Here are several reasons why you should visit South Africa in 2024:

1. Value for Money:

Visiting SA offers excellent value for money. From low-cost lodging and tours to internationally recognized five-star hotels and opulent lodges, there's something for every budget. And regarding wildlife adventures, South Africa is hard to beat. Whether you're a fan of safaris or want to chill with nature at Kruger National Park, you're well-catered for. Interestingly, with the Xcursions Combo Trip Offer, you can visit CapeTown and Journesbourg at the same price. Cool right?

2.  Experience the finest beaches in Africa. 

From Bloubergstrand's Beach, located near Cape Town, South Africa, renowned for its stunning views of Table Mountain across Table Bay, to Hartbeespoort Dams, a premium destination for beach lovers in Johannesburg, you get to enjoy the best of both cities. With their long stretch of golden sands and consistent winds, this is an adventure you want to experience at least once in your lifetime.

3. Food Galore

“Everyone must try a combo of Cape Malay Curry and  Amarula Don Pedro once in their lifetime”

Imagine having…

Potjiekos, literally meaning ‘small pot food’, a traditional food eaten in many parts of South Africa. This stew consists of meat and vegetables, slow-cooked over an open flame in a cast-iron pot (potjie). The dish is cooked in layers and should not be stirred until it’s ready to be eaten. The result is a rich and varied taste, and since the layers are kept separate, you should still be able to discern every ingredient when you’re eating.

With…

Amarula Don Pedro- a delicious South African cocktail that combines Amarula liqueur with vanilla ice cream and a splash of whiskey. This smooth blend offers a perfect mix of sweetness and warmth, making it a favourite treat for enjoying the unique flavours of South Africa. 

Refreshing!
