South Africa<\/strong> is home to such a wide variety of landscapes and attractions that it is often referred to as \u201cSouth Africa, the world in one country.\u201d The main attraction during your trip to South Africa is Kruger National Park<\/a>, part of the cross-border Greater Limpopo Transfrontier Park (in the Limpopo<\/a> region on the border with Zimbabwe and Mozambique). A visit to Kruger National Park is often combined with the Panorama Route<\/a> along the world\u2019s third-largest canyon, the Blyde River Canyon. Also popular are the Hluhluwe-Umfolozi Park\u2014the oldest in Africa\u2014and the nearby Greater St. Lucia Wetland, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. <\/p>\n Cape Town<\/a> and the surrounding area, with attractions such as Robben Island, the Cape of Good Hope, the penguins at Boulders Beach and the “Whale Capital” Hermanus, are also among the highlights. Just like the Wine and Garden Route<\/a> with the Tsitsikamma National Park. Not to mention the majestic Cedar Mountains<\/a> and Drakensbergs<\/a>, the lunar landscape of Augrabies<\/a>, Cape Dutch architecture, the Karoo<\/a>, one of South Africa’s most inhospitable regions, and the small kingdoms of eSwatini<\/a> and Lesotho<\/a>. Add to that the excellent wines, culinary delights and the high service level of the accommodations and you will agree with us that South Africa is a top destination. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The world in one country<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":186181,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"country":[207],"continent_category":[186],"class_list":["post-30627","countries","type-countries","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","country-south-africa","continent_category-africa"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/countries\/30627","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/countries"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/countries"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/186181"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30627"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"country","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/country?post=30627"},{"taxonomy":"continent_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/continent_category?post=30627"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Cape Town and Garden Route<\/h3>\n
