The South African peninsula features mild weather during the entire year, and has the plus point of being nicely placed in the Southern Hemisphere – turning it into a great holiday away from the chilly European and American winters.

During this short piece, we’re going to highlight the not so famous areas of South Africa, places where you can get away from the hords of tourists while also enjoying the lower costs that you can find off the beaten path.

Kruger Park
Kruger Park is the largest wildlife park in the South African peninsula and expands 60 km from west to east and 350 km from north to south. Kruger National Park has 8 main gates that provide entry to the different campsites . There is an abundance of hotels near Krugar Park so it doesn’t have to be a huge return journey from Durban or wherever you’re staying.

Check out the Drakensberg Mountains
The Drakensberg Mountain Range is the highest mountain range in the South African Peninsula, extending to over 3400 meters in elevation. Old caves are common in the easily scoured sandstone, and many have rock paintings sketched by the indigenous people. The Drakensberg Mountain Range has between 35000 and 40000 works of cave art and is the biggest collection of such paintings in the world. There is proof that the bushman civilisation existed in the Drakensberg Mountains as long ago as 100,000 years ago. The Drakensberg Mountain Range is simple to get to from nearby Durban and you can normally get hotels in Durban without any trouble.

Visit KwaZulu Natal
KwaZulu Natahas has become progressively popular with tourists – mainly advertised as the Zulu Kingdom. It is a shame that many from abroad miss out on this experience, as many locals know that it offers visitors a long list of things to do. For a long time it has taken the moniker as the Garden Province – the name being well deserved. And again, there ought to be no trouble locating guesthouses in and around KwaZulu.
