When you first think of South Africa you might think of safaris, nature, or even the big cities such as Cape Town and Johannesburg. But what is often overlooked is the rich wine culture that the country has. Most vineyards are located in the Western Cape and Northern Cape of South Africa. Although the region is stretched along the Orange River and Breed Valley.
Having the opportunity to see wild life in their natural habitat, with no enclosures and no fences is absolutely incredible. But this also means that you cannot predict which animals you will see and in which quantity. To have the best chances at spotting the Big 5 & other wild life, I have listed the top 3 countries to book a safari. These countries are known to have some of the most dense wild life and spotting the big 5 is the easiest around these areas.
Tanzania is known to be the most populated area for wildlife. And the national parks stretch over the whole country. It is one of the best places in Africa to go look for the Big 5. Also the Serengeti is worldly known for its wildlife and is a must to visit at least once in your life.
If you are planning a trip to South Africa, chances are high your trip will start in Cape Town. Cape Town is one of the 3 capital cities in South Africa and has many international flights arriving at the CPT airport. If you are planning to travel around on a tour departing from Cape Town, make sure to leave some extra time on your hands so you can go and visit a bit more of what the city has to offer. From beautiful beaches to a magnificent mountain range, and colorful houses, this place has something for everyone.
