Top Ten Traveling Locations in Southern Africa

In the most Southern Point of Africa you can drive down winding road, sip champagne on a boat cruise at sunset and watch as majestic mountains watch over the massive cliffs. The best areas here to visit are Cape Town, Stellenbosch and Hermanus.

Some history, magical forests and a lonely roaming elephant will lead you to the fairytale Garden Route area in the Southern parts of South Africa. Spend some quality time in Mossel Bay and learn the tale of Bartholomew Dias and his travels through the stormy weathers of the Cape. Try and find the last elephant in the Knysna forest and visit the ostriches in Oudtshoorn.

Namibia holds visitors captivated with the silence of its wide open desert. In Sossusvlei, tourists will find the tallest dunes in the world. Silhouetted against the beautiful backdrop of the orange blanketed sand dunes, visitors to the Dead Vlei can experience the wonder of ancient, skeletal Camel Trees. To enhance your journey, partake in a relaxing drive to Swakopmund as the ever-changing dunes protectively encircle you.

Somewhere in the middle of Africa is a waterfall that beckons with its massive veil of water tumbling into a gorge since the beginning of time. Fly to Livingstone in Zambia and make your way to the Victoria Waterfalls for a lifetime experience.

When in Zambia, one cannot leave without experiencing a visit to the Chobe National Park. There visitors are enchanted by more elephants than any one man could have ever imagined existed. Become mesmerized by a boat ride across the Chobe River; you’ll never want to leave.

Paradise can be described as the tropical islands located in the Indian Ocean. Calm, warm waters, white beaches, colorful sea life and coral reefs will have you believing that there is no other paradise. Travelers will definitely want to put a visit to Mauritius on their list as well as snorkeling at Portuguese Island where you can learn of the times of the Sultans in Zanzibar. The tranquility is amazing. For a little bit of local flavor, stop by Inhaca.

Kruger National Park offers up the Big five and most dangerous of the animal kingdom. A slow, drive down dusty roads can bring you face to face with lions hunting, hippos sleeping in water or elephants playing at a watering hole.

While visiting these creatures take time to explore the other areas around the Kruger National Park. For panoramic views, potholes carved through the ages and canyons stretching for miles go to Graskop, Sabie and Pilgrims Rest.

Art lovers are sure to be in heaven with a visit to the little Town of Clarens in the Free State Province of South Africa. There, a feast of Africa’s best artists will captivate you as you lazily explore all it has to offer while sipping wine from a farm in Stellenbosch.

Every man’s holiday waits at Mozambique on the East Coast of Africa. There diving, fishing and unspoiled white beaches wait to mesmerize, tantalize and thrill its inquisitive visitors.

Visit these places first and then come back for the rest.
