My favourite top 5 places that I have visited in Southern Africa

Southern Africa has so much to offer visitors to South Africa, Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Namibia. My favourite top 5 places that I have visited in Southern Africa include:

5 – Natures Valley, South Africa

Natures Valley is a small holiday town. Well, you can not really call it a town, but it at least has a café and restaurant. With a three kilometre white sandy beach and the Tsitstikamma Forest as a back drop it is a very special holiday destination in South Africa. One can spent the morning relaxing on the beach, while exploring the forest on foot during the afternoon.


4 – Victoria Falls, Zambia

With the majestic Victoria Falls as the main attraction, this is a stop within Southern Africa one has to make. The area offers a great variety in adventure activities from quad biking, to bungee jumping, white river rafting, walks with lion or rhino and safaris on elephant. For the less adventurous there is the Flight of Angels, game drives in a number of game reserves or just relaxing at the pool.

3 – Kalahari Transfrontier Park, Botswana & South Africa

Having had the opportunity to visit the Kalahari for the first time last year October I just realised why Southern Africa is such a great area to visit. From the busy city of Pretoria, travelling through the grassy highveld one reaches the semi desert of the southern Kalahari and then the desert of the Kalahari – all these changes in a days drive. The Kalahari is an area where only the strongest will survive. It is also a great photographic destination due to the concentration of animals around the few water holes.

2 – Savuti, Botswana

During a visit to Savuti I quickly realised what “wild” Africa might have been a few hundred years ago. After setting up our tent we were received open arms – or must I say open “trunks” by an elephant bull. I think he checking in to make sure everybody is settled in for the evening. The area is known for a very special pride of lions that has the ability to hunting down young elephants when general food is limited during very bad drought seasons. With the thought of this pride walking through camp and the initial welcome by the elephant bull, I surely had a restful nights’ sleep.

1 – The Kruger National Park, South Africa

The favourite destinations for many South African who grew up with visits to the Kruger National Park during the winter school holidays. An area that offers a great diversity in wild- and birdlife, you never know what you will find around the next turn in the road. Visitors have the option of the most basic camping to the some of the most luxurious lodges in the world. Offering people of all walks of life the opportunity to experience one of the greatest places on earth.
