It has to be stated that SA is one of the best countries for outstanding vacations and tours.

For those looking for unique tour destinations, something a little off the beaten track, then possibly you need to look into visiting Namaqualand. It is thought to be one of the most beautiful put on earth because of the way the land transforms itself every season. In spring the land goes from a dry, barren wasteland to a wonderland of color with charming wild flowers that blanket the when bland landscape. It is a sight to behold and produces the most spectacular photos.

For the history enthusiasts, why not visit the KwaZulu-Natal Battlefields. A great deal of SA history was written on these lands with the battles of the British, the Boers and the Zulu. A few of the bloodiest fights raged on this land such as the battle of Islandwana and Rorke's Drift, which spawned the classic movie called "Zulu" in 1964. This beautiful stretch of land is drenched in the blood, heart, courage and secrets of the old days, when "moving house" implied moving everything you possessed in a covered wagon over treacherous country.

Still, for those who enjoy history and the wilderness, is the Drakensberg Mountains. Drakensberg means Dragon Mountain in Afrikaans. The Drakensberg is the Wild West of SA and is a lovely, wild place. The mountain range serves as a border between Lesotho and the province of KwaZulu-Natal with the peaks reaching over a staggering three thousand four hundred meters high. The location is well known for its hardy flora and a few of the most spectacular waterfalls you will may ever see. Among these falls is the 2nd tallest in the world. Measuring an impressive 850 meter drop! It is called the Tugela Falls. This is an excellent holiday spot which has many hotels and vacation resorts for family fun and leisure. While you stay at one of the resorts or hotels, the entire family can take pleasure in fishing, hiking, horse riding and water rafting.

A South African tours type holiday cannot be complete without experiencing the Cape Winelands. For all wine enthusiasts on holiday in SA, this is a must! A few of the very best towns to visit are Stellenbosch, Franschoek, Paarl and Durbanville Hills. Wine tours and wine tasting parties are run at some of the finest of the Capes wine estates, depending on the time of year, and offer some of the most beautiful farmlands around. Some even have tiny farm house restaurant's on the property, and even actually actually the tables set up in the vineyards, amongst the grape vines. While you enjoying your delicious lunch, you can purchase wine directly from the ranch stall you are lunching at. It really is an experience well worth the trip!

In a nutshell, deciding to go the tour group type of holidaying can be just as enjoyable and gratifying as deciding on a self drive vacation. The benefit to a tour is that you don't require GPS or maps to get around since your guide will know where to go and exactly how to get there. It's different, and just as enjoyable, so think about it for the next time you visit SA.
