India was the eighth largest international market for South African tourism prior to the pandemic; and continues to remain a promising one even now. From sun-soaked coasts to breathtaking wildlife and from vibrant culture to adrenaline thumping adventures, the Rainbow Nation gives us all the right reasons on why it belongs on top of our travel bucket list.
Currently, the destination is open to all international tourists. Travellers intending to visit South Africa are required to produce a negative RT-PCR test, not older than 72 hours from the time of departure from the country of origin.
So, if South Africa is where your next holiday is, and ‘something local and offbeat’ is your travel motto, here are a few recommendations you can consider.
The new regions include the relatively unexplored Port Elizabeth, West Coast and Drakensberg
EXPLORING NEW REGIONS
Go beyond Cape Town, Johannesburg and Durban to traverse the “new regions” of South Africa that include the relatively unexplored Port Elizabeth, West Coast and Drakensberg and indulge in experiences of a lifetime.
ADVENTURE-FILLED DRAKENSBERG
KwaZulu-Natal is home to the Drakensberg mountains (the Zulus call them the “Barrier of Spears”) in the uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park, a natural and cultural World Heritage site. The mountains hold cultural significance as they contain works of San rock art that date back to the late Stone Age. Tourists can partake in outdoor activities like hiking, biking, hot air ballooning, helicopter rides and horseback riding into the mountains.
