South Africa really has a lot to offer. You can visit South Africa year upon year and still have a totally new experience each time. It is probably best known for its safari holidays and is home to the big five. Booking a safari trip in South Africa can be an amazing way to explore the country and see how different animals really interact with each other and their surroundings.

If a safari trip is not for you then you may want to go to some of the towns to get a bit more involved in the local culture and explore the cuisine that is on offer.

Not only that, but South Africa also has some of the best beaches around. With golden sands and crystal clear waters, the country offers breath-taking views that look like they have come straight off a postcard.

If history is more your thing then a trip to see some of our oldest hominid remains – some four million years old – in the Cradle of Humankind near Johannesburg is the one for you. Spending a day touring round these fascinating artefacts and finding out all out how and when they were found is a great chance for all the family to get involved.

Whatever you like to do on a holiday, South Africa has it all. There really is something for people of all ages.
