South Africa took the spotlight last year because of the football. We might not hear the loud vuvuzuelas anymore but there are still a lot of reasons to come to South Africa. Here are the best activities you can do this month:
Immerse yourself into the ways of the Basotho people who were the early settlers of the land. The cultural village is within the boundaries of the Golden Gate National Park. Travel back in time as you visit the courtyard exhibiting the different huts of the Basotho’s evolving from the sixteenth century to the modern times. You wil be able to interact with locals dressed in the tradtional clothes of the Basothos. Those who are really interested to know about their culture will be able to witness an accurate depiction of this group’s architecture and lifestyle.
When you visit the village, you will visit the place where their men meet and you might be asked to drink their traditional beer to show their warm hospitality. You will also be able to talk to the ngaka or the advisor of the captain. The ngaka will be able to enlighten you about light and heal your inner being.
Outdtshoorn is famous for its ostrich farms but there is more to this place than our non-flying brid friends. You can take a tour of the Cango Caves and explore the magnificent dripstone caverns. You can choose from Standard and Adventure tours which take guests every hour to discover the wonders of the caves.
Nature tripping at the Augrabies Falls
One of the most impressive falls that you can find in South Africa is the Augrabies Falls which traces its origins from the wide Orange River just west of Upington. The name of the river literally means “ the noisy one” and indeed it roars.
Go bird watching at the Limpopo Birding Route
If you will visit South Africa this month, you will be able to see the wide array of bird species in the Limpopo region. There are hundreds of species of birds considered as local to the area. Do not forget to bring your camera and your long lenses to take pictures of doves, parrots, and fish eagles roaming around the area.
One great way to undwind in Cape Town is by reliving the classic works of Shakespeare at the Maynardville Park. While waiting for the performances, the wooded park is a great venue to enjoy a picnic with friends or loved ones. The Shakespeare performance has been attracting thousands of patrons for the past fifty years. There are also ballet performances for the public.
