Provinces of South Africa

If you want to do a real cultural crawl Limpopo province’s Venda Art route is an outstanding cultural exploration, if in Mpumalanga don’t miss the province’s flagship – the Kruger National Park. If you choose to go the North West province do not miss the adventures or sheer relaxation at Sun City and when in the Western Cape you have the famous Table Mountain to climb and enjoy a breathtaking view of the city of Cape Town and its surroundings.

While in the Northern Cape you must not miss the Augrabies Falls or Namaqualand and Kwa-Zulu-Natal is well known for ISimangaliso Wetlands Park, (formerly St Lucia). Gauteng is home to the Cradle of Humankind and Eastern Cape Province hosts the world’s highest bungee jumping spot at Bloukrands Bridge. Clarens is the artistic town never to miss when in the Free State Province.
