These and many other places will give you deep insight into the country's history and development. You can also take time to visit some of the popular wineries and taste some delicious wines. Some of the wineries I recommend are Meerendal, La Motte, and Bischendal.

Beach lovers are going to find this country as the best destination. The country has a fantastic coastline stretching thousands of kilometers inclusive of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. This equally translates to grand hotels and beaches. Some of the beaches include Umhlanga, Camps Bay, Santos Beach and Clifton Beach.
