Africa has always held a certain allure, especially for adventurous travellers who wish to experience something out of the ordinary. South Africa is the ideal destination for these tourists: it holds the same exotic appeal as other African countries, yet it is highly accessible, with sophisticated cities, widespread use of English, and developed infrastructure. This means you can have your wild-at-heart holiday, with an added dash of comfort.
Affordability
Exchange rates typically favour currencies like the dollar, the euro, the British pound, the yen and the yuan, which makes South Africa excellent value for money. Visitors are able to dine at outstanding restaurants, shop at high-end boutiques, and have all types of excursions with a comparatively low outlay.
What’s more, there is accommodation to suit all budgets: visitors can choose from cosy country houses, luxurious game lodges, five-star hotels, camping and glamping (camping with a splash of glamour), guest farms, Airbnbs, backpackers, and self-catering houses. The five-star rating system operated by the Tourism Grading Council of South Africa provides a useful guide to quality accommodation, so that no matter which of these accommodation types your visitors prefer, they know exactly what to expect.
