South Africa Travel Guide: Features, Landscapes, and Sports Activities

“Something new under the sun.” “The world in a single Country.” Thus South Africa presents itself to Italians, enticing them with some considerations.

Advantages and Features of South Africa

First, it is still a relatively uncommon destination. Second, the exchange rate with the lira is advantageous (for a delicious meal, including wines, the cost ranges from 30,000 to 50,000 lire). Third, South Africa has a level of modernity comparable to North America or Europe. Fourth… you can make calls home via GSM, which has no reception problems.

Tourist Offers and Landscapes

The offer ranges from traditional Africa with untouched nature and wild animals to areas influenced by the Boers, the British, Indians, Malaysians, etc. It spans from large parks (Kruger Park, to give an example, is as big as Veneto) to metropolises or locations like Reef City, the gold town.

Sports Activities and Seasons

The sports offerings are comprehensive: among the curiosities is horseback riding with ostriches. The seasons are reversed compared to ours, with winter being mild. For Italians, a valid passport is sufficient; only in some areas is anti-malaria prophylaxis required.
