10 Gorgeous Holidays You Really Can Afford(even on the rand!)

SOUTH AFRICA & SURROUNDS

1.GAME PARK

From R5 000 per person for a quick getaway

Some of the best holidays are right on our doorstep. Take a weekend to enjoy your morning coffee with an unbroken view of the bush, dunk a crunchy rusk while on a sunrise drive; or take in the bushveld orchestra of beetles and creatures at dusk…

THIS COULD BE YOUR TRIP:

During August, Botlierskop Private Game Reserve has a special for R1530 per person per night, which includes a luxury tented suite with breakfast and dinner, plus a game drive or horseback safari per day.

Spend four nights at Askari Game Lodge & Spa four-star hotel in the Magaliesburg for R4960 per person, including breakfast, dinner and one game drive per person per day.

2.VIC FALLS

From R9900 per person for a week

The thunderous Victoria Falls is one of the seven natural wonders of the world. It is classic romance and high-speed adventure rolled into one. You could also combine it with a visit to Botswana. Kenya Airways recently launched a direct flight between Cape Town and Vic Falls, only two hours away – it’s great for a quick getaway.

THIS COULD BE YOUR TRIP:

Getting there: SAA flies daily from JHB. Return flights cost about R4 300

Visa? Free; obtained on arrival at the airport

Your stay: From R1600 per night for a double room at a three-star hotel; from R2900 per night for a twin room including breakfast at a four-star hotel.

3.BOTSWANA

From R12800 per person for a week
