<\/a>Gordon’s Bay<\/p><\/div>\n
South Africa<\/a> has many beautiful beaches. Find your perfect spot to relax at Gordon\u2019s Bay<\/a> in Cape Town, or enjoy a swim at Blue Horizon Bay in Port Elizabeth. Wherever you choose, you\u2019ll be guaranteed spectacular weather, warm oceans, and beautiful surroundings. South African summers can get pretty hot though, with temperatures reaching up to 40C, so be sure to bring enough sunscreen!<\/p>\n Christmas Safaris<\/strong><\/p>\n Spending Christmas on Safari is a magical experience. South Africa has a plethora of nature reserves, including the famous Kruger National Park, all of which give you the chance to see the Big Five: elephant, lion, cape buffalo, leopard, rhino. This wildly photogenic country is rich in flora and fauna too, with much of it being endemic to the area, meaning that it can\u2019t be found anywhere else in the world.<\/p>\n Zulu Village<\/p><\/div>\n To add something extra special to your safari experience, visit a Zulu village. There, you can learn about traditional tribal history and culture, which will give you a different perspective on South Africa as a country filled with rich heritage and diverse people.<\/p>\n Wine Tasting <\/strong><\/p>\n South Africa has some of the best vineyards in the world. The rolling hills of the Cape Winelands<\/a> (near Cape Town) offer excellent wine tasting experiences in grand estates. As well as top quality wines, these estates also offer local olives, cheeses and chocolate to try. Stellenbosch, Franschhoek and Paarl are the most famous wine producing areas and they are situated within easy reach of one another.<\/p>\n Winelands<\/p><\/div>\n For more information on where to go for the best wine tasting experiences, check out our guide to South Africa\u2019s Wine Country<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n World Heritage Sites<\/strong><\/p>\n South Africa is home to eight World Heritage Sites which trace this country\u2019s diverse culture and remarkable history. Robben Island is infamously known for Nelson Mandela\u2019s 18 year incarceration. The prison has since been transformed into a museum where you can learn about the history of the island and the prison\u2019s role in the apartheid from former prisoners who are now trained museum guides.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a>
