Activities in South Africa

The first thing the tourists associate South Africa with is pristine coastline with beautiful beaches and excellent opportunities for the active rest. Safe swimming areas, perfect surfing conditions, good spots for fishing – this is what South Africa can boast of. It should be mentioned that there are only a few countries in the world where elephant, rhino, leopard, and buffalo are frequently seen. South Africa is one of them. The country is a paradise for nature lovers, because it has seventeen parks and one National Lake area. The Kruger National park is the most famous one; it supports more species of wildlife than any other on the continent. The period between June and November is a good time for the whale watching. South Africa’s Coast of whales stretches from Gansbaai in the south to St. Helena Bay on the west coast. One of South Africa’s most popular sports is angling. In the open sea there are various fish and marine mammal species. South Africa is also home to the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
