The warmth of the summer sun makes the sound of spending time at the beach highly inviting. Durban and Cape Town are two cities which are ideal for the kind of holiday that factors a coastline into your day and evening activities. Durban beaches are plentiful and if you think that swimming and sunbathing are not the only activities available to engage in. You can scuba-dive, jet-ski, take a yacht ride or snorkel as well. The city's shops, restaurants and places of interest will keep you occupied and well fed during the daytime and at night you can spend time out on the town with your travel mates. Cape Town offers much of the same opportunities at areas such as Muizenberg, Camp's Bay, Mossel Bay and within the city centre on the vibrant Long Street.
Mpumalanga and the Highveld region are the perfect places to head to for nature drives, hikes and walks over the terrain. Wildlife and nature reserves such like the Kruger National Park will colour your holiday with leopard spots, zebra sightings and an array of other wildlife related sights while you enjoy affordable and comfortable accommodation at Lowveld Lodge, Falcon Glen and Mount Sheba Resort to name a few.
Hire a car and drive along the Garden Route and enjoy the breath-taking scenery along this famous path in the Eastern Cape. You can be guaranteed to find somewhere at which to enjoy a relaxing reprieve from all the sightseeing you will be doing at Beacon Island, Castleton, Formosa Bay Villas and Garden Route Chalets Resorts in Plettenberg and Jeffreys Bays.
Then there is the wonderful Drakensberg where the highest rising peaks in Southern Africa are found. This is an excellent holiday choice for all those seeking a break from the strain of day-to-day life. Many of the resorts in this region offer their guests the royal treatment with day-spas where massage therapy and beauty treatments are just one of the many ways you can unwind while residing in the splendour of the Drakensberg's natural environment. Champagne Lane, Bushman's Nek Hotel & Spa and Castleburn resorts offer great accommodation and all the facilities you will need for a relaxing stay.
The North-west and Limpopo Provinces are also an excellent place to venture to for the safari adventure you have been longing to have. Pilanesberg Nature Reserve is a haven for the most ferocious to the most gentle of the Southern African grassland animal kingdom. Don't miss out on your chance to get up close and personal with nature while staying resorts such as Mabula Lodge, Mabalingwe, Little Eden, and Magalies Park. Sun City located in between the hills of Magaliesberg is a highly recommendable place to stop whether for a day or overnight.
South Africa offers a wealth of exciting places to visit that provide fun and enjoyable holiday activities for all. With all the bargain holiday breaks available for you to book through Optima Holidays, that holiday to the coast or the lowveld is no longer as impossible as you may have thought it would be.
