South Africa is the best country in Africa, which makes it the perfect destination for any holiday. But what is it exactly that makes it the holiday destination of choice for so many people heading to Africa? Here are a few of the things that really make the country stand out from its neighbours.
1. Huge Variety of Animals
Most countries in Sub-Saharan Africa have a good selection of animals to view on a safari. But it would be hard to beat South Africa for the sheer amount and variety of animals. The country boasts a huge range, including the Big Five – lions, elephants, leopards, rhinos and buffalo. These are the most important animals to spot when you go on a safari, and the ones that everyone wants to check off their lists.
In addition to the Big Five, you will also see cheetahs, hippos, crocodiles, hyenas and many more exciting animals, making it an ideal country for anyone who is interested in going on a fantastic safari. There are many places to go on a safari in South Africa, but a few of the most popular include the Kruger National Park, the Drakensberg, the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park and the Golden Gate Highlands National Park.
