Go baboon spotting in forested canyons, swim with penguins in crystal clear waters, and safari in some of Africa\u2019s finest national parks. Without further <em>Addo<\/em>, here are our top things to see and do in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gadventures.com\/destinations\/africa\/south-africa\/\">South Africa<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Walk with penguins at Boulders Beach<\/h2>\n<p>Penguins know what makes a good beach and Boulders Beach on the Cape Peninsula is one of their fave spots. Powdery white sand, crystal clear waters, and a spattering of boulders to dry out damp swimsuits \u2014 they\u2019re no fools when it comes to finding the finest coastal real estate. Share the sea with these savvy swimmers for an unforgettable beach day. <\/p>\n<h2>2. Grab a seat at Table Mountain<\/h2>\n<p>Breaking the mould of pointy-peaked mountains, flat-topped Table Mountain has plenty of legroom at the summit. Meander around at 1085m (3,560 ft) and enjoy panoramic views of Cape Town, Table Bay, and Robben Island. You have a choice of trails to get to the top. Yes, they\u2019re all uphill. Sorry. Platteklip Gorge Trail is widely believed to offer the best views but Kloof is great if you fancy a more challenging climb. And it\u2019s slightly shorter. If you want to save energy for posing at the peak, there\u2019s a cable car that goes all the way to the top. We won\u2019t tell if you don\u2019t. <\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"an adventurous couple climbs the scenic outcroppings of Table Mountain\" src=\"https:\/\/media-gadventures.global.ssl.fastly.net\/media-server\/dynamic\/blogs\/posts\/G-Adventures\/2024\/12\/blog-south-africa-things-table.webp\" title=\"Table Mountain hikers\"\/><\/figure>\n<h2>3. Escape to Robben Island<\/h2>\n<p>Once the site of Nelson Mandela\u2019s imprisonment, Robben Island is a reminder of the strength and resilience of South Africa\u2019s Nobel Prize-winning President. Ever since the 17th century, Robben Island has housed political prisoners. The last inmates left the island only 30 years ago. It\u2019s now a World Heritage Site and a living museum of South Africa\u2019s political history. If you book a guide, chances are you\u2019ll be touring the island with someone from the inside \u2014 one of its former prisoners no less.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Sample grapes in the Winelands<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s no secret that South Africa makes good wine. However, the label on your Stellenbosch Sauvignon will never quite capture the experience of drinking and dining on a Wineland estate. Just an hour\u2019s drive east of Cape Town, the countryside is lined with 300-year-old oaks and flashy Georgian mansions. Stop in Stellenbosch and you\u2019ll find not just great wine but a town proud of its foodie heritage. Meaty casseroles, sweet pastries, fruity teas \u2014 bish, bash, Bosch!<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"neat rows of vines lead up to the mountainscape behind Stellenbosch vineyards\" src=\"https:\/\/media-gadventures.global.ssl.fastly.net\/media-server\/dynamic\/blogs\/posts\/G-Adventures\/2024\/12\/blog-south-africa-things-stellenbosch.webp\" title=\"Stellenbosch vineyards\"\/> <\/figure>\n<h2>5. Spot southern right whales in Hermanus<\/h2>\n<p>Whales love South Africa, especially the bay around Hermanus. Talk about making a splash \u2014 the waters east of Cape Town seem to be a playground for southern right whales migrating from Antarctica. They\u2019re such a fixture in this part of the world, there\u2019s actually a whale crier who blows a horn when they approach the shore. Make sure you research the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gadventures.com\/blog\/best-time-to-visit-south-africa\/\">best time to visit South Africa<\/a> for your chance to see these gentle giants. Spoiler alert \u2014 it\u2019s September. <\/p>\n<h2>6. Visit the bright abodes of Bo-Kaap<\/h2>\n<p>Bo-Kaap, formerly known as the Malay Quarter, is an area of Cape Town on the slopes of Signal Hill. Once racially segregated, it is now a multicultural melting point and one of the oldest surviving neighbourhoods in the city. The pretty pastel houses are now a National Heritage site and you can learn all about the early Muslim settlers in the local museum. It\u2019s also just incredibly camera friendly \u2014 it\u2019s impossible to take a bad picture. Even the plant pots are worth a spot on your camera roll.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Rows of candy-coloured houses line the streets of Bo-Kaap\" src=\"https:\/\/media-gadventures.global.ssl.fastly.net\/media-server\/dynamic\/blogs\/posts\/G-Adventures\/2024\/12\/blog-south-africa-things-bokaap.webp\" title=\"Bo-Kaap buildings\"\/> <\/figure>\n<h2>7. Get wild at Addo Elephant National Park<\/h2>\n<p>Addo sees Kruger\u2019s \u2018big 5\u2019 and raises it to the \u2018big 7\u2019. Thanks to its coastal location, it adds the great white shark and southern right whale to its roster. Get yourself down to the waterholes for an almost guaranteed sighting of the park\u2019s poster-calf \u2014 the hunks with trunks \u2014 African elephants. If you\u2019re lucky, you might also see black rhino, cheetahs, and leopards. With game drives and night safaris, a walk on the wild side is inevitable. Bring the binos!<\/p>\n<h2>8. Search for &#8216;the big five&#8217; in Kruger<\/h2>\n<p>Finally a Kruger you can dream about with no downsides (one for the 80\u2019s horror crowd). As one of the largest game reserves in Africa, Kruger National Park is the place for lions, leopards, rhinos, buffalos, and elephants \u2014 the so-called big five. You can also see rear-of-the-year finalists \u2014 hippos and giraffes, as well as cheetahs, zebras and over 500 species of bird. Remember to bring your big camera lens. <\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve always wanted to go on safari and aren\u2019t sure where, check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gadventures.com\/blog\/safari-destinations-africa\/\">favourite African safari destinations<\/a>. Yes, Kruger is on there! But if you\u2019ve heard enough and want to make the safari dream a reality, book our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gadventures.com\/trips\/ultimate-south-africa\/DSCA\/\">Ultimate South Africa<\/a> tour. This includes over five days of Kruger-themed fun. Yes you\u2019ll get to hang-out of a 4&#215;4 and point at animals, but you\u2019ll also get to do guided bush walks and monkey around in a chimpanzee sanctuary. <\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"A beautiful male lion lazes in the long grass at Kruger National Park\" src=\"https:\/\/media-gadventures.global.ssl.fastly.net\/media-server\/dynamic\/blogs\/posts\/G-Adventures\/2024\/12\/blog-south-africa-things-kruger.webp\" title=\"Kruger lion\"\/> <\/figure>\n<h2>9. See Drakensberg Mountains&#8217; hidden art<\/h2>\n<p>Based in KwaZulu-Natal, The Drakensberg is a World Heritage Site and the largest mountain range in South Africa. The trees are teeming with birds and baboons and the tracks blessed with jaw-dropping viewpoints. Ancestors of the San people lived in Drakensberg 8,000 years ago. You can see remnants of their painting and decorating on the walls of mountain caves. The rock art is mostly wildlife themed \u2014 lots of Eland (antelope-type things), snakes, elephants, horses. Good inspiration for that nursery room Pinterest board. <\/p>\n<h2>10. Feel ant-sized admiring Tugela Falls<\/h2>\n<p>No adventure is complete until you\u2019ve graciously clambered up a waterfall. Looming over Drakensberg, Tugela is <em>possibly<\/em> the highest waterfall in the world? (There&#8217;s a dispute about Venezuala&#8217;s Angel Falls measurements.) Even if it doesn\u2019t take the top spot, it\u2019s undoubtedly very tall and splashy. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gadventures.com\/trips\/active-south-africa-kruger-safari-tugela-falls\/DSWB\/\">Active South Africa: Kruger Safari &amp; Tugela Falls<\/a> tour offers a few different hiking routes to the top. Regardless of the path you take, the views at the summit are stunning and well worth the trip from Johannesburg. Be prepared\u2026there will be tiers. Five tiers.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"a hiker heads uphill on a path to the multi-tiered Tugela Falls\" src=\"https:\/\/media-gadventures.global.ssl.fastly.net\/media-server\/dynamic\/blogs\/posts\/G-Adventures\/2024\/12\/blog-south-africa-things-tugela.webp\" title=\"Tugela Falls hiking\"\/> <\/figure>\n<h2>11. Wander the open exhibition of Soweto<\/h2>\n<p>Soweto is one of South Africa\u2019s oldest townships. Once an area designated for black South Africans, it is now going through a rebirth. Powerful artworks adorn its chequered streets and monuments honour its difficult past. The struggle against apartheid is central to Soweto\u2019s identity, with those who fought for freedom immortalized in memorials and murals. <\/p>\n<p>Today, it\u2019s an open-air museum with new bars, breweries and exhibition spaces popping up every day. The street where Desmond Tutu and Nelson Mandela once lived is now home to shipping containers that sell coffee \u2014 very hipster! There\u2019s even an annual wine festival. <\/p>\n<h2>12. Go bird spotting in Blyde River Canyon<\/h2>\n<p>Blyde River Canyon might not be as long as the Grand Canyon but what it lacks in length, it makes up in beauty. Unlike its famous counterparts, Blyde River is shrouded in subtropical vegetation. Translation: it looks way better in photographs than the dusty giants of the States. Within the emerald landscape lie hippos, crocs, and every primate species ever seen in South Africa. Its bird game isn\u2019t bad either \u2014 sugarbirds, cinnamon doves, snake eagles. You don\u2019t get names like that without being something special.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"overview of the scenic Blyde River Canyon in South Africa\" src=\"https:\/\/media-gadventures.global.ssl.fastly.net\/media-server\/dynamic\/blogs\/posts\/G-Adventures\/2024\/12\/blog-south-africa-things-blyde.webp\" title=\"Blyde River Canyon\"\/><\/figure>\n<h2>13. Squeeze into Cango Caves chambers<\/h2>\n<p>Want to go caving? You Cango! That should be their tagline. But it\u2019s not. Anyway, if you miss talking about stalagmites and stalactites, this huge cave system lets you relive your school geography days. The website says \u2018for lean people only\u2019 so expect some squeezing and squirming even if you fit the bill. The reveals are worth it as the rocky chambers look like something from another planet.<\/p>\n<h2>14. Meander South Africa\u2019s Garden Route<\/h2>\n<p>Bring snacks and a banging playlist, this is a road trip to remember. An epic 200-mile stretch of coastline that goes from Mossel Bay to Plettenberg Bay, the Garden Route winds through leafy landscapes, classic gable-roofed hamlets and two national parks. Off the well-paved path, you\u2019ll find plenty of picnic spots and beautiful lagoons and beaches for kayaking and boat tripping.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"footsteps in the sand from travellers stopping along a beach on South Africa's Garden Route\" src=\"https:\/\/media-gadventures.global.ssl.fastly.net\/media-server\/dynamic\/blogs\/posts\/G-Adventures\/2024\/12\/blog-south-africa-things-garden.webp\" title=\"Plettenberg Bay beach\"\/><\/figure>\n<h2>15. Pan for diamonds at Big Hole<\/h2>\n<p>Based in Kimberley, Big Hole is a huge defunct open-pit diamond mine. Despite your dad\u2019s claims at the beach last summer, Big Hole is widely believed to be the biggest handmade hole in the world. It also houses replicas of the world\u2019s largest eight-sided diamond so bring your glint-proof sunnies. For the more adventurous, walk out onto the viewing platform for a stomach-churning peak into the 1.6 kilometre-wide chasm below. <\/p>\n<p>History buffs looking for the Hole story can descend into the mine to feel what it was like for miners in the late 19th century. Spoiler alert, if you think budget airlines are cramped and noisy, you might want to sit this one out. Good news is there\u2019s a bowling alley and a place to pan for diamonds, so you might end on a high. <\/p>\n<h2>16. Bonus things to do in Cape Town<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019ve got an extra <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gadventures.com\/blog\/24-hours-cape-town\/\">24 hours in Cape Town<\/a>, fill your pockets with biltong and explore the <em>fynbos<\/em> in Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden. This distinct vegetation is only found on the southern tip of Africa. Set at the foot of Table Mountain, it&#8217;s a good place to recharge after a hefty hike.<\/p>\n<p>For lunch, why not try the bagels at Kleinsky\u2019s Delicatessen. Then go for an ocean drive around Noordhoek and Hout Bay. The winding roads take you from one stunning viewpoint to another in minutes. In the evening, how does dinner on the beach sound? Camps Bay has a good range of restaurants and bars, perfect for watching the sun set on your time in South Africa.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"the sun sets on another adventure-filled day on Camps Bay Beach\" src=\"https:\/\/media-gadventures.global.ssl.fastly.net\/media-server\/dynamic\/blogs\/posts\/G-Adventures\/2024\/12\/blog-south-africa-things-camps.webp\" title=\"Camps Bay Beach\"\/><\/figure>\n<h2>17. Bonus things to do in Johannesburg<\/h2>\n<p>If you have at least <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gadventures.com\/blog\/24-hours-johannesburg\/\">24 hours in Johannesburg<\/a> before you fly home, why not have one last adventure? Get brunch at the leafy rooftop cafe Living Room and enjoy views overlooking the City of Gold. Then immerse yourself in history at the Apartheid Museum in Ormonde, full of film, photos, and artefacts telling the story of South Africa\u2019s troubling past. <\/p>\n<p>In the early evening, pick up a few gifts at 44 Stanley in Milpark, a garden courtyard with independent boutiques and bars. Then, dinner time. Peachy is our choice. Take a look at the drinks menu and you\u2019ll see why. Cap it all off at The Bioscope, a cinema and events space with regular performers and shows.<\/p>\n<p>So there you have it, a veritable smorgasbord of the best things to see and do in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gadventures.com\/destinations\/africa\/south-africa\/\">South Africa<\/a>. If you want an adventure with a wild streak then there\u2019s nowhere quite like the Rainbow Nation. It offers arguably the best safari experiences in the world, some of the finest food and drink on the planet, mind-bogglingly beautiful beaches, epic hiking routes and road trips, and cities that educate and delight in equal measure.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From the golden beaches on the southern tip to the trendy townships of Jo\u2019burg, there\u2019s never a dull moment in the Rainbow Nation.
